Bump - and please don't be put off by the allusions to automobiles. My Besson looks great sitting in the passenger seat of my Jaguar E-type convertible!

Does anybody out there have a used Wick 1 tuba mouthpiece (small shank)?

OK, I'll sweeten the deal. If you want to bring the mouthpiece to my house, I'll give you a ride in my convertible.

Of course, it's your cost to get to my house, which may be more than the mouthpiece is worth in time or money, in which case I'll send you a picture.

Anyway, one more bump. Please look in the dark recesses of those old, dark, abandoned Boosey/Besson cases to see if there is a used 1 around that would be better off liquidated. Hey, $30 is $30 bucks. You can almost fill up your automobile gas tank now for that!? (#$%^&)

Never Mind.

I broke down and bought a new one from Dillon Music.

Thanks for looking.
