I just had a very nice experience with Marcinkiewicz.

I have little experience with TE, actually, but Joe marcinkiewicz certainly runs a class organization. Glad you got things worked out!

...and (if you've ever bought/played/perused a Blessing F-attachment trombone) he also manufacturers trombone rotors with AMAZING tolerances.

Is that why those trombones are great? My craptacular trombone playing aside, those things are cheap and great.

About TE; I will admit to having very good experiences and personal attention from Vince. Didn't get any response years ago to a question about the lousy finger buttons on my first Kalison, but otherwise, he's been great to me... Very informative and honest.

Well, in my quest for finding a moutpiece similar to my Rose Model LS for sousaphone, I called The Tuba Exchange, thinking that they would have the dimensions.....

Marcinkiewicz T.E. Rose LS

outside cup diam.: 49.63mm
inside cup diam.: 33.68mm
rim width: 7.98mm
cup depth: 42.65mm
throat bore: 7.92mm

I too am a fan of their mouthpieces. If I ever had the coin to get something custom made, they would be on my short list. Most of their stardard pieces are too large in inside diameter for me, but I have never played a Marcinkiewicz mouthpiece that didn't make the horn sound great.

WHOA.

I've combed through all of tubenet and have never found the dimensions. Thank you SO much!

I got these directly for Marcinkiewicz via email back in January of 2007. In this same email, they also told me that they make a Rose ST model which they say is somewhat smaller than the LS. I now wish I had asked for those dimensions as well since I now play on a much smaller mouthpiece. I may get around to it. If anyone knows, please post.
