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 7 Protegé Trumpet Mouthpiece
The Laskey 7 Protegé Trumpet Mouthpiece is part of the Protégé Series designed for beginning and developing players, offering a comfortable and supportive platform for building foundational technique. Like others in the series, it is crafted from free‑machining brass with a polished rim and satin‑finished body, plated in copper, silver, and bright silver for durability and a smooth playing feel.
The size 7 model features a smaller rim diameter than the 3 and 5 sizes, providing a more focused center of sound and slightly increased control for players still refining embouchure strength and precision. Its design promotes efficient airflow and dependable articulation, helping beginners develop consistent tone production and smooth register transitions.
With a responsive feel and balanced resistance, the 7 Protegé encourages confidence in attacks, stable intonation, and even scale work, making it well‑suited for school band settings, beginning lessons, and early ensemble performance as players build technique and endurance.
