Allen Vizzutti (Trumpet) Signature Series Mouthpieces Allen Vizzutti Bobby Shew Mark Gould Rod Franks John Wallace Thomas Bacon Alain Trudel Peter Sullivan Douglas Yeo Roger Bobo Jim Self Canadian Brass Anyone who has heard one of Allen's spectacular performances will understand the exceptional qualities he demands from his mouthpiece. His extended playing range and incredible technique require a perfectly balanced mouthpiece, one which allows him to leap huge intervals with centered, accurate intonation-and to change in a flash from a screaming lead sound to a warm broad 'classical' tone. The shallow cup with smooth inner rim edge gives a clear focused sound and plays evenly in all registers. It can increase the high range of many players without sacrificing tone in the low range. The Vizzutti mouthpiece offers great sound, incredible flexibility, plus impeccable intonation in all ranges, which in Allen's case covers a wide area! ALLEN VIZZUTTI is one of the most amazing trumpet soloists of our time. Equally at home in a multitude of musical idioms, he has toured more than 30 countries and every state in the Union to perform everything from jazz and fusion to baroque and classical. He has played in virtually all of the world's most prestigious concert halls, as well as on 100 motion picture sound tracks. He boasts more than 60 recordings with such diverse artists as Doc Severinsen, Chuck Mangione, Barbra Streisand, Frank Sinatra, Neil Diamond, Prince, and Woody Herman. Jazz great Chick Corea, who has often played with Allen, has this to say about him: “Finely tuned wind, easy control, polyharmonic wit, orchestral penmanship, punctuated spiritual warmth;' rarely do so many qualities find themselves in one musician.” MODEL No. INNER DIAMETER (mm) CONTOUR THICKNESS CUP DEPTH THROAT (mm) BACKBORE VIZZUTTI 16.67 semi-flat semi-thick very shallow 3.56 very narrow The Vizzutti mouthpiece is also available with a gold-plated rim, cup, and inner bore.
