Jet-Tone “Merian S” Trumpet Mouthpiece – Elkhart USA – 1980ss – Very Good

Up for sale is a vintage Jet-Tone “Merian S” trumpet mouthpiece, produced during the period when the Jet-Tone brand was owned and developed by trumpet player Leon Merian.

Following the transition of Jet-Tone to Merian in the mid-1980s, production moved to Elkhart, Indiana, a historic center of American brass manufacturing. This piece represents that later-era Jet-Tone production with Merian’s influence on design and model offerings.

Jet-Tone mouthpieces are well known for their efficiency and upper register performance, and were widely used by commercial and lead trumpet players.

The “S” model is believed to be part of Jet-Tone’s shallower, more efficient designs, making it well suited for:

• Lead / commercial playing
• Strong upper register response
• Focused, bright tone

Condition Details:

• Very good overall condition
• Light cosmetic wear consistent with normal use
• No major dents or damage
• Rim is smooth and comfortable
• Clean and fully playable

Why This One Stands Out:

• Merian-era Jet-Tone production (Elkhart, USA)
• Less commonly seen “S” model designation
• Classic Jet-Tone design known for efficiency and range
• Solid vintage example in very good condition

Estimated Era:

Circa mid–late 1980s
