Subj: Question about old "seds" ? (mouthpiece?)
Date: Tue, 13 Dec 1994 10:41:06 -0500

-- [ From: David Kaminsky * EMC.Ver #2.10P ] --

If the questioner was referring to the "Chedeville" mpc this may
help some people. Tom Ridenour designed a mouthpiece series called the
"Legend". This series is a copy of the old "Chedeville" (I think
spelling the is correct) mouthpiece. I would be interested to hear
from anyone who has played the mouthpieces to get some reactions on the
design. There is an "O" series and an "A" series both with with a
1.10mm and 1.05mm tip opening. The model # is 2572. I would like to
hear some reactions, pro and con.
As an informational note, all new Woodwind Co. mouthpieces being
designed by Tom Ridenour for Leblanc have a common thread. The model
number extension, or facing number, actually has meaning!!! "L", "M",
or "S" refer to the length of the curve, (Long, medium, and short) and
the number preceding the letter refers to the tip opening measurement.
Example - the "K" series Woodwind Company Mpc. 2550 K10M refers to the
"K" series mpc. with a 1.10mm tip opening and a medium curve.
