They've got a large CNC machine shop operation (they make rotary valves, screwbell flanges and all sorts of other trinkets, including horn mouthpieces and bells. They've also got a complete plating shop.

A machine sitting idle represents lost revenue--why not make some tuba mouthpieces also?

They're nice folks and their mouthpieces are nicely done--and a heckuva deal.
