JK French Horn Mouthpieces have a numbering system from 0 to 4.

Mouthpieces with the number 0 have a rim of 18.50 mm and this diameter decreases by 0.50 with each number, so mouthpieces with the number 4 have a diameter of 16.50 mm.

Then they have a letter from A to F.

The mouthpiece with the letter A has the deepest cup and the largest granillo, and the letter F has the shallowest cup and the smallest granillo.

Then there are the letters M or K.

M mouthpieces are a new version, with a U-shaped cup, and K are the older ones with a V-shaped cup.

The M series is distinguished by a bright sound with clear timbre. This is made possible by a rounder and flatter cup.

Conversely, the deeper cone-shaped cup of the K series holds a classic dark timbre.

Air flows more freely in the K models, so if there is a little air retention, it is advisable to play with the K models.

The mouthpiece rim is flat in the center.

The most intermediate mouthpiece of all is the 2DM or 2DK, the rim is 17.50 mm, which makes it good for horn players with lips from thin to slightly thick.

This mouthpiece offers a good compromise between high and low notes.

If more sound is needed in the mid-low register, letters A, B or C are recommended.

On the contrary, if you need to feel good control of the high register, models E and F are advised.

For horn players with thick lips, a good option is the 1FK or 1FM mouthpiece.

These mouthpieces have a generous rim and a high cup, which allows maintaining the high register despite the large rim.

For horn players with thin lips, models 3 or 4 are advised.

For thick lips, models 0.
