Unfortunately, James Kanter no longer makes mouthpieces. The last time I
tried to buy one from him (I already own one of his mouthpieces) in
1992, he wrote me a very nice letter indicating that he was simply too
busy with his freelance career to continue with the mouthpiece
business. This, of course, may have changed in the last four years.
I don't think I have the type of Kanter mouthpiece being sought after,
and since they are now no longer being made, I think I should maybe keep it!
