Subj: Re: [kl] Mouthpieces that lower the pitch
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 1998 19:09:41 -0400

I play on the same selmer mouthpiece, although I've had mine refaced and
worked on a bit. I also play sharp. The most similar mouthpiece I found
was an old Marcellus model. I'm also on the lookout for a new mouthpiece,
but can manage to play in tune *most* of the time with the selmer.
