Laskey 85GW French Horn Mouthpiece Overview
The Laskey 85GW Classic French horn mouthpiece is part of Laskey's Classic horn range, a line chosen by horn players who want a familiar, well-defined rim and cup concept with precise model-to-model sizing. The 85GW pairs the 85 inner diameter with the narrower GW outer-rim profile, giving players a larger inner diameter in a silver-plated American shank configuration.

Who the 85GW French Horn Mouthpiece Is For
The 85GW is suited to horn players who prefer the standard G-series cup concept with a larger inner diameter and a narrower outer-rim profile than the regular 85G. Its American shank configuration is intended for horns that use the common US-style receiver, making it a practical choice for players comparing Laskey Classic horn models by rim diameter, cup profile, and shank fit.
Common Questions About the Laskey 85GW
How does the 85GW differ from the standard 85G?
The 85GW uses the same 0.728" rim inside diameter as the 85G, but with a 0.985" rim outside diameter rather than the broader 0.995" outside diameter of the regular 85G.
What does the G Series cup indicate in the Laskey Classic horn line?
The G Series uses Laskey's standard Classic horn cup profile, intended as the versatile center of the Classic horn range.
What should a player confirm before choosing the American shank version?
A player should confirm that the horn's receiver is designed for an American shank mouthpiece, since shank fit affects insertion depth, response, and intonation stability.
