For a change, this post doesn't show a picture of mouthpieces 😉. Instead, it's a picture of an excursion into nature, in which tranquillity is expressed through nature. Tranquillity is a good and important partner for people who work with and on sound.

Our first six months on the market with www.ptrix.at and our range of mouthpieces taught us a lot about the basic nature of the colorful world of mouthpieces. We now know from our own experience how important intersections between trade fairs, universities and dedicated specialist retailers are. But also: synergies between creative minds in instrument making bring the big picture forward as a result. For example, the fruitful encounter with Musikhaus Bozen and our „sound partnership“ with Alex Friedemann (A Mute) with his innovative concept of mute construction for trumpets and trombones. At the heart of it all is the culture of sound and the creation and distribution of the best possible tools for making music in the physical world - and that is exciting enough!

We will be busy this year with exhibitions, presentations and networking. Making the result of intensive development visible with a positive response will keep us more and more busy. A highlight in 2026 will be the Brawo trade fair in Stuttgart in November, but we will also be delighted to present our work at smaller exhibitions in Germany, France and Italy. We will keep you informed about the individual activities!

Trumpeter Alex Friedemann and inventor of „A Mute trumpet mutes“ is a new partner of Parametrix Mundstücke in North Rhine-Westphalia. He develops and produces trumpet and trombone mutes based on a finely differentiated sound concept. A modular case program for mouthpieces will also be available soon.Website A Mute

On March 20 and 21, we were delighted to be represented at the in-house exhibition at Musikhaus Bozen. The knowledgeable and highly committed team represents a competence center for the instrument trade in the area of Bolzano, Trentino-South Tyrol. We are looking forward to the upcoming cooperation and will be represented in the environment of this great music store in Northern Italy with excellent consulting service!

We are looking forward to presenting our mouthpieces at the Musikhaus Bozen in-house exhibition on March 20 & 21. A large part of our range for trumpet, flugelhorn and trombone can be tested on these two days. Website Musikhaus Bozen

With Anton Possegger, we have a fine master workshop in Carinthia near the idyllic Millstätter See as a partner for our mouthpieces. The craftsman's workshop is characterized by the highest quality of workmanship and function of its instruments as well as imaginative design. Website

After an intensive week of new models in the K-cup series for trombone and variants of the P-cup series for trumpet, 400 mouthpieces are ready to be silver-plated. In the next few weeks, trumpet mouthpieces of the P-cup type will be made available in the smaller nominal diameters P7=16.7mm, P8=16.6mm and P9=16.5mm. An article will be published on this website in the next few days about the experiences and background to the idea of our concept mouthpiece in connection with individual personal requirements.

Our mouthpieces can be tested either at one of our partners or by sending us a test kit. After exchanging consultation information, up to a maximum of 8 mouthpieces will be sent for testing. We charge € 5,- manipulation fee per test mouthpiece plus shipping costs. The mouthpieces will be returned to us no later than two weeks after acceptance by the parcel service. A maximum of € 30,- test fee will be credited as a deposit in case of a purchase.

The „P“ and „G“ cup type mouthpiece series were supplemented for small scales: 
P 5 (nominal ø 25mm)
P6 (nominal ø 24.8mm)
P7 (nominal ø 24.6mm)
and :
G5 (nominal ø 25.35mm)
G6 (nominal ø 25.15mm)
G7 (nominal ø 24.95mm)

are now available. They are manufactured to fit the small shank.

We are now offering the „K cup type K“ for euphonium and trombones in our online store. The aim of this development was to emphasize the low mids in the frequency spectrum more strongly than with the other mouthpieces, thus enabling a particularly velvety-smooth sound. This cup type is manufactured from 26.2 mm (K0), in 0.2 mm steps downwards, up to 24.6 mm (K7) nominal diameter, for all three trombone shanks.

From the idea to the development strategies to the production of a mouthpiece, it is an exciting process with many unknowns along the way! The release of current developments is planned for May, when Paramterix will also be able to offer lead mouthpieces for trombones and trumpets.
