MP with a MW 45 SLP?

[Contramark]

Hi guys.

I am getting ready to buy a MW 45slp, I was wondering what kind of mouthpiece some of you guys play on for this type of horn?

From experience and speaking with other owners, I suggest:
Laskey 28C
Joseph Klier JK 4B
or JK 4C

You got a 45-slp already in mind that you are buying?? If not, you should give mine a play-test.

Like Ben said, the JK 4B seems like the one to play on a 45SLP right now...every SLP player in my area has one, or so it seems.

Lately the JK 4C has become a popular alternative as has the Laskey 28C. For whatever reason the Laskey 30F has been determined to be a little too big (the 28 is only something like 2mm smaller, but whatever...)

You might also want to try a Floyd Cooley Helleberg. I've had good success with that and actually had it suggested to me by a symphony pro. If you want to do it on the cheap, get a Conn Helleberg 7B and drill out the backbore.

If you want to really try something "different," get a Monette 99. I only mention the 99 because that's the only model I've ever spent any time with. When I sold the 99, the buyer mentioned that it was really a neat mouthpiece to use on his 45SLP even though he bought it for his 6/4 CC.

Blane Cunningham from Alaska,

congrats again on Wisc. Is that the same MP we used back in the day when we marched that no name Blue Corps?

Awesome Blaine. How much did you pay for the ME2? I might want to try it on my new horn that I am getting next month. I will have to let you know how it works.

Did you know tim cole quit?
