Mouthpiece visualizer?

Post by Jess Haney »

Hey Tubenet,

I have been borrowing a friends visualizer that is essentially a mouthpiece with the bowl cut away. Anyone know of where I can get one of these or who can cut away the brass to make it? I am looking for one that can go into the receiver like any regular mouthpiece.

Dana Hofer will make you one from an old mouthpiece for $60. I had him make one from one of the back ups I had for my main mouthpiece so the rims would be an exact match. Works extremely well.
