If that is one of those ultra hard cutting-tool coatings, you better had that beer mug engraved before the coating...ken k wrote:I have been using my blokepiece on my Boosey Eb for the past 4 months or so, using it in brass band, brass quintet and a pops orchestra. It helps give the old girl a bit more color to her sound. These old Boosey/Bessons can be a bit monochromatic since they are built like tanks with heavy guage brass and alot of heavy bracing. Also the artix are very covered.
I think the Blokepiece adds the color due to the shallower cup but still has an easy low register, probably due to the fairly large rim inner diameter.
so far so good

PS I had mine H-Koted by Mr. Houser (strictly due to vanity. I like the look of a gold mouthpiece on my silver tuba. Now if I could only get a mug of beer engraved on it....)
