Patrick Sheridan Mouthpiece

Post by John Caves »

Hi All

I currently own a Dillon/Sheridan mouthpiece and would like to understand the markings on it.
Dillon P S 01
Dillon P referres to P Sheridan model
01 referred to Orchestral 1 model
What does the S referr to?

Is this a funnel Helleburg-style or cupped-style mp?

I really enjoy this mp because of its huge sound, but
would like to obtain a more centered sound in the lower register. Would an Orchestral 2 version serve me better? I am best described as a "Weekend Warrior" type of player, so lots of practicing to work into the larger bore mp ain't gonna happen!

Thanks for any insights you can provide!
John

Dillon PS S1 = Dillon Pat Sheridan SOLO 1

The orchestral versions have a designation of "O" before the number
