Abstract: A mouthpiece (1) for a musical wind instrument comprises an inlet (5), an outlet (6), a hollow chamber (7) for collecting liquid from inlet air, and an enclosed windway (2), in which is disposed in the mouthpiece and leads to the outlet (6), wherein the inlet (5) and the windway (2) are interconnected via the hollow chamber (7). In use, the player's breath passes through the hollow chamber (7), allowing liquid to collect in the chamber, and then through the windway (2) out of the mouthpiece. The moisture-reduced air prevents sound disturbance and can be used for a considerable time before cleaning out becomes necessary. Also, the flow can be constricted which reduces the likelihood of overblowing by inexperienced players.
