Baltimore Brass is one place. Tucci's site should have a list of US vendors, which includes other places as well.

I'm just looking in general, not really aiming for anything right now.

Well, I'll do what I can.

"GENUINE Pernatucci mouthpieces?" What does that mean? Taking for granted that you really meant "Perantucci", there are multiple possible interpretations of "GENUINE", but it seems to me that anything made under the auspices of the corporate entity known as "Perantucci" would certainly qualify. That's a particularly interesting question in the US, where Mr. Tucci, who apparently controls that brand elsewhere, has introduced a new "Robert Tucci" brand in the US and connected that to the everywhere-else Perantucci brand, while Custom Music offers a "Perantucci" brand that is reportedly now completely independent of the everywhere-else Perantucci ... though they may have older generation stock. Seems to me the mouthpieces that come out of any of these sources, can reasonably qualify as "genuine Perantucci".

It isn't clear to me what the problem was with the German site. You should be aware that quite a few other mouthpieces are made in Germany these days - I believe Conn and Denis Wick, as well as popular German brands like Faxx and Josef Klier - and if there's anything to national origin as an index of quality, my impression is that German mouthpieces should be highly recommended. The decision to continue the brand as a German entity, but with a different US brand, has some unfortunate aspects, but it shouldn't be hard to sort this out.

If the problem is just that the web page was in the German language, next time, look for a couple national flags in the upper right, a black yellow and red one that represents Germany, and a blue red and white one that you may recognize as the emblem of the UK (England.) Select the latter, and you'll get a new page in the English language. It will list dealers ... for everywhere but the US, for which you'd need to check the robert-tucci site.

Perantucci mouthpieces have become, Robert Tucci and MrP mouthpieces which are virtually the same id imagine, so you might want to look into those and if not I'm sure you can find people willing to sell their old ones or try ebay
