Trust Sweet Iron 2.5 Eggbut Elliptical 16mm
A 2,5 Eggbutt cheekpiece is a milder version of a 3 rings (Pessoa) cheekpiece. With this cheekpiece, a leverage effect can be created. The lower the reins are placed, the more effect the bit will have. Compared to the 2.5 Loose Ring, the rings do not move freely, which means there is less movement in the bit and the mouthpiece is more stable in the mouth. The pressure point lies on the poll, just behind the ears.
The Elliptical mouthpiece is the first example of a double-jointed mouthpiece with an elliptical shaped link. Due to this shape, the mouthpiece presses a bit more on the middle of the tongue. This mouthpiece has two joints, is shaped more to the form of the mouth and lies in the mouth a bit looser. This bit puts more pressure on the tongue than a single-jointed mouthpiece.
