Hello, I have an allergy to nickel and silver plating so for tuba I use gold rimmed or stainless steel.

I am looking for plastic mouthpieces for my trombone and euphonium since neither of those are my main instrument. 1 small shank and 1 large shank

Lemme know what you got laying around!

Have you tried the Kelly mouthpieces? They are solid lexan. I keep a Kelly tuba mouthpiece at hand for when I have to play outdoors in temperature extremes. The prices are reasonable.

Also, most manufacturers of two- or three-piece mouthpieces carry rims of lexan in various sizes. I recommend the blokepieces.

In case you're not familiar with Doug Elliott Mouthpieces, I have been making 3 piece low brass mouthpieces for the past 40 years and I think I am the originator of using Lexan for mouthpieces. I can make Lexan rims for all of my mouthpieces, all sizes and shapes.
