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 3 Protegé Trumpet Mouthpiece
The Laskey 3 Protegé Trumpet Mouthpiece is part of the Protégé Series designed specifically for beginning and emerging trumpet players, offering a comfortable and stable foundation for developing embouchure and technique. These mouthpieces are crafted from free‑machining brass with a polished rim and satin‑finished body, plated with copper, silver, and bright silver for durability and comfortable playability.
The size 3 model is roughly equivalent to a traditional 3C mouthpiece, providing a larger rim diameter that supports balanced flexibility and steady airflow, making it easier for students to produce a consistent tone across the instrument’s range. The cup‑to‑throat ratio is designed to promote reliable air support while helping new players establish solid fundamentals.
With its approachable feel and supportive design, the 3 Protegé encourages confident articulation, stable intonation, and smooth transitions throughout registers, making it well‑suited for school band programs, private lessons, and early ensemble work as players build their skills and confidence.
