A brass mouthpiece is the part of a brass instrument that a player blows into to make a sound. The purpose of a mouthpiece is to send vibrations down the instrument to make a musical note.

Larger mouthpieces are used on larger instruments, and smaller ones are used on smaller instruments. This is because a larger mouthpiece makes a lower sound, and a smaller mouthpiece makes a higher sound, and bigger instruments make lower sounds and smaller instruments make higher sounds.

A mouthpiece has many different parts, and all its parts have different names.

• Rim - The rim of a trumpet mouthpiece is the part that makes a circle at the top of the mouthpiece.
• Cup - The cup of a mouthpiece is the part that looks like a bowl. It is where the player blows into.
• Throat, backbore, and shank - These parts of the mouthpiece attach the cup and the rim of the mouthpiece to the rest of the instrument.
