Scuba diving and industrial breathing sets
In breathing sets, a mouthpiece is a part that the user grips in his mouth, to make a watertight seal between the breathing set and his mouth. It is composed of a short flattened-oval tube that goes in between the lips, with on its free end a flange that fits between the lips and the tooth and gums. On the flange there are two projections with enlarged ends, which are gripped between the teeth. Most sport diving scuba sets use a mouthpiece rather than a fullface mask.

In many industrial breathing sets and a few scuba sets (e.g. the Siebe Gorman Salvus, and a 1980's model of twin-hose diving regulator made by Nemrod), the mouthpiece also has an outer rubber flange that fits outside the lips and extends into two straps that fasten together behind the neck. That makes the mouthpiece more airtight and watertight, and helps to keep the mouthpiece in if the user lets his lips or jaws get slack through unconsciousness or absent-mindedness or being preoccupied with work.

A mouthpiece in the mouth prevents clear speech; as a result, many work divers, and many people who use a breathing set on land (e.g. firefighters), use a fullface mask. A gag is usually a device designed to prevent speech, often as a restraint device to stop the subject from calling for help. ...

Musical instruments On wind instruments the mouthpiece is that part of the instrument which is placed in, or next to, the player's mouth. In conjunction with the player's lips and, on many woodwind instruments, a reed, it produces the basic musical tones that characterize each particular instrument, from the single reed of the clarinet or saxophone to the flared turned brass tube of the horns, such as the horn, trumpet, trombone, tuba, and the bugle. A wind instrument is a musical instrument that contains some type of resonator (usually a tube), in which a column of air is set into vibration by the player blowing into (or over) a mouthpiece set at the end of the resonator. ...

Mouthpieces are human-machine interfaces designed to transmit the maximum musical information from the mouth, lips, tongue and lungs of the performer into the air column of the instrument. On the performer's side, mouthpiece must be matched to embouchure, the exact way of setting the mouth parts to transmit the maximum of musical information to the mouthpiece. Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is a term that refers to the layer that separates a human that is operating a machine from the machine itself. ...

Thus, the mouthpiece, attached to its instrument, is a means of extending the expressive power of the upper body. The typical mouthpiece is capable of playing only a few notes on its own, often with poor tone. By varying the air column in a myriad of ingenious ways, these few notes are transformed into many notes of many tones on the various instruments.
Brass instruments
 Trumpet mouthpiece from the side In western instruments of the European classical tradition, there are several different kinds of mouthpiece. One of the most common is the one seen on brass instruments, which is a type also used on several non-western instruments. This consists of a simple circular opening which leads to the main body of the instrument. The player vibrates his lips while they are placed on this opening. This causes the column of air contained within the instrument to vibrate in a standing wave pattern.

Shank The mouthpiece of many brass instruments, including the trumpet and trombone, is cup shaped, although the horn's mouthpiece is simpler, being only slightly flared. The degree of flaring, and the exact shape of the "cup" (5) if present can greatly affect the timbre of the instrument. The width of the opening (1) in the mouthpiece also has an effect. A mouthpiece with a narrow bore (7) is generally preferred by brass players who concentrate on the upper range of their instrument, and a wider bore by those who emphasize the lower range of their instrument in their playing.

Reed instruments
 clarinet mouthpiece The mouthpiece on a single-reed instrument, such as the clarinet or saxophone, is quite different. These mouthpieces are basically wedge-shaped, with the reed being placed against the flat surface (or the table) closest to the player's bottom lip. Here, the player's breath causes the reed to vibrate, which in turn sets the column of air contained within the instrument in vibration. Near the top of the mouthpiece there is a small opening into the inside of the instrument. As with the brass instruments, the shape of the bore immediately beyond the opening can greatly affect the sound of the instrument. On some woodwind instruments, the bore here is a simple extension of the main body of the instrument, although it is possible to widen it by various means. Mouthpieces with large, rounded chambers will produce a quite different sound than one with a small or square chamber.

Most mouthpieces are made out of metal, hard rubber, or plastic. Rubber, although one of the most common materials for mouthpieces, often lacks in durability, warps over time, and has a tendency to break when bumped. With mouthpieces of any material, the tip may eventually wear down from reed vibration.
The double reed of the oboe or bassoon is not generally referred to as a mouthpiece, but serves the same function as the mouthpiece-reed combination on a single-reed instrument; it is placed in the player's mouth and supplies the initial vibration which starts the air column vibrating. While a double reed consists of two reeds vibrating against eachother, the single-reed-plus-mouthpiece has a reed vibrating against a mouthpiece. A double reed is a type of reed by means of which the sound is originated in various wind instruments. ...
