Good buy? Mouthpieces

Post by Chasetbr »

Do you all think I made a good buy or did I just throw my money away? There are a few junky looking mouthpieces, but I could always sell them as "vintage" :wink:

Just under seven bucks apiece- not bad. Post the ones you don't want in the "For Sale" section, priced to sell quickly.

From your signature, I see we have the same trombone. I don't guess any of your haul here is going to turn out to be Brown & Sharpe taper ("Conn", "Remington") large shank, but that's what works for me in that trombone. Conn 3B to be specific. Keep an eye out for something like that, if you haven't tried it. For me, fits nice instead of sort of OK, and plays better.
