| Series Design (Mouthpiece balance) | By developing mouthpieces as complete systems, or series, we have been able to combine the best internal shapes and sizes to maximize the performance of each mouthpiece. In this manner you are assured of a mouthpiece that has been balanced acoustically for maximum sound and ease of play. |
| ________________________ | _____________________________________________________________________ |
| Plating | Silver plated, Gold Plated |
| Flex Alloy | A proprietary brass alloy and treatment. It is extremely resonant and transfers energy very efficiently thus adding to ease of play. |
| S14A VR Vs Series | Our Vs (Speed of Sound) Series great for Lead Trumpet, Amplified Music, and Pit Work. |
| S14A VR J6 Series | Our J6 series is good for Lead Trumpet, Amplified Music, and Pit Work. It has more "core" to the sound than the Vs. Some say it requires a little bit more air than the Vs. |
| S14A VR M4G Series | Our M4G Series is the latest development in small volume cup acoustic design. It provides a huge resonant sound with an extremely easy upper register. |
| S14A VR 5 Series | Great all around Series. Very good for Jazz Trumpet, Brass Quintet, wedding, and Orchestral including C Trumpet. |
| S14A VR T2 Series | The T2 Series is a variation of the Vs Series. It has either a #30 or #29 bore. This affects the acoustic balance and many players say this allows them to use less air. Others report it gives them more "push against." |

Five Stars!!! I’ve been playing the Stomvi USA S14A VR Flex mouthpiece for over a year. There was no trial period or experimentation; right after getting it I put it in the horn and I’ve played no other since. My steady gig is in a cruise ship ballroom dance band and we play 3-4 sets of dance and big band music every night, with rarely a night off. Since I started playing the S14A my endurance has never been better. Even at the end of a hard night I can count on my entire range at any dynamic level. Response, flexibility, tone,pitch, slotting,simply every aspect of trumpet performance has been easier and more reliable with this mouthpiece. Thank you, K.O. and company for making my gig easier. Keep up the great work!

I was playing a Schilke 15A4a and needed something with more room in the cup, bigger sound, and better articulations, without losing the compression I need to play big band lead and first chair pops. K.O. recommended the S14A VR Vs. The improvement over the Schilke was amazing. With no loss of support, the mouthpiece made everything much easier and better sounding. The fascinating thing to me about this mouthpiece is how it feels so free-blowing but with great compression at the same time. I was so impressed with the design and workmanship, that I bought an S3 trumpet! K.O. and the guys at Stomvi are making outstanding gear–the best I’ve ever played. Thanks!

I’ve used the S14A VR J6 for over a year now! Wow, what a mouthpiece! I’ve played 14A-style pieces all my career, but the switch to FLEX really was an eye opener! Easyer high register, big sound in all registers and my endurance has increased significantly! Looking forward to give the Cc back bore a shot! Thanks!!

I bought a Stomvi USA Flex S14A VR CC off Ebay to try as a gamble. The sound, intonation, response and ease of blowing are amazing. I can’t believe how shallow it is or how tight the backbore looks. It blends well when playing a duet with a clarinet. This was a major surprise as I just got back into using the Reeves 42M. The low G needs work but I don’t often need it and the pedals all sound easily. Its gapped about 1/10 inch by a no6 sleeve in my trumpet – any further out and it feels totally different. Hopefully it will settle in after these first 12 hours of ownership. I am an unreliable amateur with 40 years playing for fun experience, I tried an ACB Gen2 3S recently and found it felt stuffy, Warburton 4SV sounded shrill and no Schilke 14A type anything ever worked for me. Until now.
