Testimonials
“I am so happy to have developed a whole new line of bass trombone mouthpieces with Ultimate Brass. I use these models for everything I play and couldn’t be happier. They have an awesome sound and are easy to play throughout the range of the horn. Ultimate Brass is really focused on the customer and has been so convenient to work with. This is an exciting time for the company, and I can’t wait to see what special products we create with their amazing team in the future.”

The Ultimate Brass mouthpieces are the best in the business. They accomplish the beauty, depth, resonance, and power necessary for high players seeking the highest artistic levels. I can play with the widest range of expression on any of the Ultimate Brass mouthpieces. From Schubert to Mahler and Bach to Strauss, these mouthpieces cover it all!

“I am thrilled to be working with Ultimate Brass on mouthpiece design, and the “Vaughn” model is working great for me with The Philadelphia Orchestra! The A1 alto mouthpiece is also my top choice for orchestral alto trombone, I just did Beethoven 5 and 9 and nailed it! “

Ultimate Brass mouthpieces are the best mouthpeices I have ever played. The consistency and clarity of sound throughout the entire range are just incredible. I have never felt a better connection to my instrument or been happier with my sound! Thank you Ultimate Brass!
-Bill Thomas
Bass Trombone, Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich
With my Ultimate Brass mouthpieces, I am finally able to create the sound I always dreamed of as a brass player. It is very pleasurable and practical to play in every range of my instrument. Furthermore, Sun He is a great craftsman and I really appreciate working with him. I highly recommend this brand to every brass player in search of a unique musical experience on their brass instrument.

Designing a mouthpiece line with Sun He and Ultimate Brass was a labor of love and art. UB created a collection of mouthpieces for my playing in the Philadelphia Orchestra as well as solo and chamber music performances. The Prisk C works great on C trumpet and Bb trumpet in the orchestra. The Prisk B is great for Bb trumpet solo playing and Eb trumpet. I use the Prisk P for orchestral piccolo and light lead playing on Bb trumpet. And the Prisk R and RC work well on both my Weimann and Schagerl rotary trumpets and is also useful for softer piston trumpet playing. The Prisk line of mouthpieces has been used and developed on the job and gives me the confidence to find my voice in all situations.

“I am honored to join the Ultimate Brass Family of Artists. The quality of the mouthpieces is second to none. Playing on one helps me achieve a projected, round sound and I play better since I switched to a UB mouthpiece. I highly recommend it to colleagues, friends, and students.”

“The Ultimate Brass MW FS1 immediately became my “go-to” mouthpiece on F-tuba. It provides clarity and evenness in all registers that I’ve spent years searching for in an F-tuba mouthpiece. The quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail are second to none, and the diverse lineup of mouthpieces means there’s something for every combination of player, instrument, and style. Bravo on a great line of tuba mouthpieces.”
-Steve Lamb, Tuba
Rhode Island Philharmonic
U.S. Coast Guard Band
“With my Ultimate Brass mouthpiece I feel I have complete control over my instrument at all times. From low to high, soft to loud, the entire range responds evenly and consistently. The low register is outstanding without the usual loss of focus and intonation in the high register that normally comes with a large mouthpiece. Articulations and flexibility are also improved. My Ultimate Brass mouthpiece gives me the confidence I need from the practice room to the concert hall stage.”
-Michael Szabo
Bass Trombone, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
“The Ultimate Brass LTC mouthpieces were designed for me in 2018 and I’ve been using them exclusively. This is the first time in my life to use a mouthpiece without compromising on anything. Mr. Sun did an amazing job of customizing my mouthpieces. His mouthpieces are designed and crafted to perfection. Thank you, Mr. Sun and the Ultimate Brass for making my life so much easier!”
-Tak-Chun Lai
Principal Tuba, Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra
“The new Ultimate Brass MW Series is the result of many years of discussion and design. Sun He has taken all of my wishes and thoughts and brought them to life. As soon as the prototypes were ready, I immediately began using them in everything I do. The results have been nothing less than exactly what I wanted. In fact, by trying different mouthpieces on the same instrument, I am able to expand my color and tonal pallet to great effect. From on stage with the Beijing Symphony Orchestra, to the Recording Studios of Beijing, to Recital Halls, the Ultimate Brass MW Tuba Mouthpiece Series makes the bridge between meat and metal as organic as I could have possibly hoped for.
I am absolutely ecstatic to be working with Ultimate Brass on the MW Series of Tuba Mouthpieces.”
-Micky Wrobleski
Principal Tuba, Beijing Symphony Orchestra
“I have been working on these two mouthpieces with Mr. Sun He and spent years on improving them. They eventually came out with great playing comfort and sweet sound. I highly recommend UltimateBrass mouthpieces! I use Ultimate Brass mouthpieces for both solo and orchestral playing.”
