I put up an ad yesterday for those extra mouthpieces, and they were gone within hours. He confirms that he's into making tuba mouthpieces where there's a demand, so if anyone else is interested in having shiny new James R. New C-1, write to him and demand. I expect price will be in line with what you'd expect from a small shop, e.g. Marcinkiewicz.Donn wrote:He's more of a trumpet mouthpiece maker, and I don't know if you're going to see the Conn 1 or other tuba mouthpieces on his web site, but he was willing to make this small batch of mouthpieces for me and I assume he'd be willing to make more.
He mentioned by the way that he has a Geib on the shelf, euro shank, left over from a previous production run.
