Cut for Sleeves
Bob Reeves developed his sleeve system in 1973 as a method for adjusting the annulus ("gap") between the end of the mouthpiece and the beginning of the lead pipe. This allows the player to "fine tune" the playing back pressure of his/her set-up. It also allows the player to use one mouthpiece on different instruments that require a different gap.
The correct gap can only be determined through experimentation as it varies from player to player, mouthpiece to mouthpiece, and instrument to instrument. Virtually any trumpet mouthpiece can be converted to use Bob Reeves sleeves. They are available in sizes #0.5 through #7 in half sizes. A #0.5 sleeve will give you the greatest gap. A #7 is the smallest.
If you have your mouthpiece cut for sleeves, be sure to also purchase the sleeves that you need. Trumpet Sleeves.

Description
Laskey 68MD Trumpet Mouthpiece
The Laskey 68MD Trumpet Mouthpiece features a 16.97 mm rim inner diameter, a standard #27 (3.66 mm) throat, and an 8.38 mm backbore with a medium‑deep cup design. This cup provides a rich, full-bodied tone with warmth and resonance, ideal for players seeking depth and harmonic complexity.
The medium‑deep cup supports a broad, expressive sound that blends well in ensembles while still providing definition and clarity for solo passages. It is particularly well-suited for orchestral, concert band, chamber, and studio settings where a strong, warm core is desired across the register.
The 16.97 mm rim offers a comfortable, supportive feel on the embouchure, encouraging endurance and control. Combined with the standard throat and backbore, the 68MD promotes smooth airflow, responsive articulation, and balanced performance from low to high registers.
