Kelly KT-50 availability?
Posted: Sun Aug 13, 2006 10:53 pm
Anybody heard about regular production lately? It is still not on the Kelly website.
I got this email response below from Jim Kelly in early July. It appears that folks are some what price sensitive since the price is significantly more than the other Kelley mouthpieces and that is why they haven't decided yet to add them to their regular production.

"We have a prototype run of KT-50 tuba mouthpieces available. We have approximately 40 mouthpieces left - all Crystal-Clear. They've been tested by professional players all across the country - with consistant responses from all of them. Simply - all of them have said "play the same as the PT-50 with the more comfortable feel of lexan!"
These are available at $65 (+$4 USPS) = $69. If you're interested - please drop me a line. Currently we're still deciding if we will be adding this to our production mouthpiece line in the future...Also, we have about ten KT-63 prototypes left...
Thanks!
