Yamaha custom mouthpieces are tempered
from raw materials

Mouthpieces are manufactured through a traditional process. Natural rubber is the raw material for ebonite. Sulfur is added to the rubber, after which it is baked in a kiln.

The dimensions are then slowly and meticulously carved by computer guided machines. Then each mouthpiece is checked and adjusted by hand.
