A traditional, timeless look that is different from the run-of-the-mill Bach. It goes from very orchestral/symphonic to giving off Megatone energy (but in a decidedly more refined way) as the weight increase to 1.00.

At this point, perhaps the most popular blank ever. Vanilla, but in the best way possible. (Indeed, vanilla is actually one of the more exotic flavorings out there.)

So let the world know – your design is straight-ahead legit!

Or – as many customers do – camouflage a screaming lead piece or short-length huge-throat modern jazz design to blend in amongst the section.

Used for all of our stock lede c-style (shallow bowl) cups, it’s equally at home in the orchestra or screaming above a rock band.

Like all of the lede blanks, the cylindrical “donut” around the rim is slimmed down to decrease resistance and offer a bit more zing as compared to a traditional blank.

Used for all of our stock lede v-style (drop-V) cups, it has that thoroughly commercial vibe that gives off “ray-gun pointed at the back of the trombone player’s head” energy.

Used for all of our stock lede x-style (convex/rimless) cups, it is lightweight and functional but with a nod to traditional (maybe a bit Giardinelli-like?) designs of yesteryear.

Used for all of our stock lede dx-style (drop-x) cups, it has traditional weighting around the cup but is (let’s call a spade a spade) an unapologetic attention hog. The amount of bling in this faceted disco ball-like design is over the top. Which is why you want it.

While it can be made lightweight, this blank really shines in its mid- and heavyweight regions. So sleek, so smooth, it looks like a million bucks. Well, at least $450, and you’ll only pay half that, and the design (yours!) will be better, as will the machining…

The geometrically-inspired name tells you what it is: a roughly conical taper. Depending on the weighting, it can be super-skeletonized, look vaguely Jet tone-like, or be a megaphone for your most dulcet tones and strident roars. It is what you make of it.

Similar to our stair-stepped Lede-V blank (but with fewer steps and a smaller cup OD), this one can be highly compact or accordioned out to Yamaha Miyashiro-esque proportions and beyond.

Yeah, it would probably look weird in an orchestra outside of pops season. But you don’t want to be in the orchestra. You want to stand out in front of it.

Modern and free-form. It has a single “edge” as it transitions from rim to cup, but is very organic and cohesive.

It is never the right choice unless it is the only choice imaginable. We have no idea what that means – which is kind of how we feel when we see modern sculpture. Which is kind of what this blank is.

The name comes from the Esperanto word for “basket.”

Very popular for ligtweight piccolo and cornet designs.

Hear ye, hear ye! Vennture is pleased to offer the VennFaire blank, suitable for natural, baroque, or whatever medieval torture coil you own.
We can make it with modern shank, period shank, and any geometry (cup/rim/backbore). We can even do two-piece configurations to help you fit more horns while spending your patron’s florins and ducats wisely. For lo, Vennture Time is nigh upon us!

Back by popular demand. Back in our naive days of thinking that maybe we only needed one blank (as long as its weight could be precisely controlled – who really cares about fancy scrollwork anyway?), this was the only blank. Then we released many others and dropped this one. Then there was a hue and cry to bring it back. So we did. The Original Gangsta.

This blank is used throughout our groundbreaking classiq series.

It is obviously at home in any orchestra. As you look at this picture in our exhibition, you can probably hear Pictures at an Exhbition. Allows you the effort grace of a Ballerina while also packing the punch to help you “Mahl” those loud and exposed introductions.

This one has a distinct old-timey feel. Traditionally weighted, equally at home in an orchestra, combo, or Dixieland band, it will serve you well.

People will gaze at you in wonderment: “How could the plating still look so good after so many decades?”

This was designed in conjunction with social media trumpet luminary Jon Kaplan of Jon Talks Trumpet (hence JTT) fame.

As nothing but a silhouette, you’d be forgiven for thinking that this one is very traditional: medium-weight rim donut, Bach/Schilke/etc-like cup bowl, double step-down from the shank.

But, like the LDX blank, it is all faceted angles. Bling, bling!

This one is inspired by the late, great embouchure guru and equipment savant, Jerome Callet**. Kind of Schilke-like, but much beefier and sturdier. It is iconic and eye-catching.

** double-C not included.

What do you get when you start with an already-beefy Staten Island blank and beef it up further? You get this. The Magnum.

Many heavyweight blanks – from Bach Megatone to Monette to Lotus – add weight all the way down the shank. This one concentrates it where it can do the most damage: in the rim donut (aka meat-speaker interface module). Seek note, lock on target, and destroy.

This is the feature blank of our recent collaboration with Austin Custom Brass.

Design away in VennCAD. Choose this blank and you can order straight from them. Sample 3D prints from ACB as well. It is a brave new world of mouthpiece design, tweaking, testing, and collaboration.

This blank is carefully designed with acoustics in mind. It is skeletonized for maximum efficiency all the way until the rim donut, where weight is concentrated for secure slotting and projection.

Note that 0.30 weight is the default weight – if you order any of ACB’s designs in the “standard” blank, that is what you get. At lower weight, it is very attractive and skeletonized. At heavier weights it more and more resembles the bearskins of the British royal guard. We are all about customizability here at Vennture.
