Both the mouthpiece and the original ivory cornett on which its found, have a similar design to the SAM 230 from Vienna. The cornett was described as an instrument of very good quality. This may be tempting to assume, the instrument and mouthpiece may come from the Bassano workshop. However, the provenience remains unknown. The mouthpiece was originally made of ivory as the cornett on which it’s mounted. Its design is pretty similar to SAM 230 mouthpiece but with a very shallow cup, narrow rim, and longer stem. The similar ivory instrument, with a design familiar to SAM230, is located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York with a sign. 52.96.1. The rim of the mouthpiece is sharp and the shallowness of the cup makes playing challenging for some players. The timbre contains a wide spectrum of partials in the same intensity, which contributes to a very strong and buzzy, almost shawm-like tone. This mouthpiece is often referred to as “stadpfeifer” mouthpiece because of the esthetic of the tone and loud characteristic that leads to estimations of being used for outside playing. This is however just a hypothesis and it’s somehow questionable if stadpfeifers would have been given a luxurious ivory instrument for their service.
