“I’ve been performing on Stork Custom Mouthpiece’s since 1986. Sure, I’ve tried numerous other mouthpiece brands over the years. But never have I found a mouthpiece that plays as well as any of my Stork Custom Mouthpieces. The intonation, flexibility, and most importantly the sound are exactly what I want and need to perform the most demanding trumpet parts.

IMO, John Stork is hands down the finest brass instrument mouthpiece maker in the world. Along with John’s amazing mechanical skills and Phyllis Stork’s incredible pedagogical knowledge. Together they make the best possible mouthpieces you can get for whatever playing situation you need.

Stork Custom brings the elegance, creativeness, and expertise of true old world craftsmanship together with modern CNC technology to make the highest consistent quality mouthpieces available.”

Stork Custom Mouthpieces has served brass players the world over for 40 years.

And we haven’t rested one beat.

We first opened our doors in mid-town Manhattan right on Broadway and 46th Street. Since then we have moved our operations to the beautiful hills of Vermont.

Our focus was then and has continued to be mouthpieces…and only mouthpieces, with our business built on knowledge, experience and craftsmanship.

Evolving technology has allowed us to supercharge that craftsmanship with incredible precision and customizability. We now offer custom laser engraving, so your mouthpiece can be as unique as you are!
