You could probably build one out of a Mega ToneĀ®.

Build an air-cooled 24AW and the first thing the VW execs will do is figure out how to write software that will fool the American players...

Bloke, me thinks you are onto something here. Why not an entire HVAC unit? (We could use warmth this time of year in Minnesota.) PERHAPS ... even a dehumidifier.

(Ya know, for those "secco" passages.)

No, no, not the VW "execs"----didn't you hear that it was just a couple engineers, since fired, who perpetrated that whole thing!

Please consider doing these in euphonium sizes, too. These would make my sidewalk concerts in front of Red Kettles more enjoyable. With THAT in mind, perhaps you could write off development costs of the euph version as a charitable contribution.
I require a tenor-shank piece equivalent to a Yamaha 51B.

sounds like a Sellmansberger mouthpiece project.
seriously a 24 A type mouthpiece (minus the W sized rim) would be a cool piece. I love the sound of the big "A" bowl but prefer a larger diameter rim. The TE marcinkiewiscz Rose model is sort of along that line but still has a round shaped rim.

FYI, joe I have been using the Sellmansberger Symphony on my Conn 36j and I like it! also have been experimenting with a Solo 2 with a profound rim, this gets a little more edge. not sure which I prefer yet.

Can you make the rim spin on it also?
