Yamaha MP HR TB S mouthpiece for French horn

General

Yamaha and Thomas Bacon developed the comfortable Yamaha MP HR TB S mouthpiece to be able to reach the lowest and the highest notes while maintaining a rich, full, focused sound in every register. It makes sense that this mouthpiece would be incredibly versatile, seeing as Bacon has played in a variety of ensembles all around the globe.

The Signature series

One of the ways a musical instrument manufacturer can stay sharp is by continuing to get advice from world-class musicians, and Yamaha has done just that. Not only is this collaboration great for you, but it's great for the musicians as well, because the result is a perfect instrument with all of the characteristics its collaborative musician values most. Yamaha's Signature series is thus comprised of a number of special mouthpieces developed with famous musicians to have characteristics that they find important for their performances.

Thomas Bacon

Virtuoso Thomas Bacon was born to play music, and belongs to the top ranks of world-class French horn musicians. His track record is impressive and expansive, as he has played in hundreds of orchestras and festivals - as first chair in the French horn section and as a soloist. Among the long list of orchestras he's played with are the Berlin Philharmonic, the Berlin Opera, and the Houston Symphony. Moreover, as a professor Bacon has taught at a number of various universities in the US and given master classes all over the world. It was really just a matter of time before Bacon became a Yamaha artist.
