Joseph Klier 'Exclusive' Mouthpieces.

Post by Billy M. »

Has anyone ever played these mouthpieces?

Also if possible, can anyone say if consistancy is good between the different cup sizes... say like 3-AA to a 3-D?

JK mouthpieces

Post by billeuph »

I used a JK exclusive 5A with my PT3 and really liked the feel and intonation that I got with it. I tried the 5AA and found that it felt wider than the 5A, but the specs say that it isn't. Don't know about the other sizes, though. If you can, try before buying. Dillon's carrys them.

I have been using a JK4B on my Meinl Weston 45slp F

I really think that it works well on that horn for me and the way that I play that specific tuba, despite it becoming a "default" mouthpiece for the SLP these days.

In the JK Exclusive line, that's all I've played, but:

The quality is very good...excellent worksmanship and excellent silver (in my case) plating. There are (as you know) many sizes available.

They are pretty much the same as the Mirafone mouthpieces, but for about $40 less. A new Mirafone one sells for around $100 while a new JK version is only about $60.

Dillon Music stocks most of the sizes and can get you the odd sized ones if you really want one.
