The Larry Kerchner Mellophone MouthpieceÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'ââ'¬ ''ÃÆ'Æ'Æ''ÃÆ'Æ''ÃÆ''Ã'Ã'®
IYM Corp. is pleased
to introduce this distinctive
Larry Kerchner Mellophone mouthpiece which incorporates the specifications of the
renowned Grammy-nominated arranger/composer/lyricist/musician. This
mouthpiece is unique in look and feel and is specifically designed
for the marching mellophone. Form and function were designed at
the same time. The heavy mass design of the mellophone mouthpiece
contibutes to effortless playing. It incorporates elements which
produce a dark, rich, orchestral French Horn timbre with comfort
and stability. This mellophone mouthpiece has excellent range and
articulation allowing for accurate note placement while maintaining
a centered pitch in all registers.
The heavy weight design makes the horn more balanced and easier to carry. It also results in far fewer hand/carpal injuries so common with mellophone players, especially young women. These are important musical and physical advantages not possible with any other mellophone mouthpiece.
Made in the USA using the latest high-tech equipment to assure quality control.

IYM mouthpieces are plated with 2 to 4 times more silver than used by others companies. This means that you get a higher quality product with a surface which will last longer. When thin plating wears off, it exposes the player to the base metal which is not recommended as a playing surface. Better plating will provide better grip, a smoother surface for a longer time, will greatly reduce re-plating costs and the inconvenience of being without your mouthpiece for any length of time.
"This mouthpiece now makes it possible to treat the mellophone as a legitimate voice in the brass choir". - David Bertman - University of Houston; Director - Pride of Houston Cougar Band
"After 40 years of mellophones, we now have a mouthpiece which gives the horn dignity. Congratulations!". - John Simpson - Member, World Drum Corps Hall of Fame; Brass Instructor, Consultant
"We are very impressed with the sound it gives us". The Cavaliers - Rosemont, IL, National Champions
"A MELLOPHONE MOUTHPIECE THAT SOLVES ALL PROBLEMS! The IYM mouthpiece is revolutionary in terms of design. It is a fantastic mouthpiece with the french horn/mellophone player in mind. It creates a dark sound that is perfectly suited for a full ensemble brass section and can provide brilliant projection for my screaming mellophone parts. The mouthpiece is solid and provides an amazing counter balance to the often front-heavy mellophone. Thank you IYM!" Key Poulan, Owner - Key Poulan Music
