by Pomarico,an Italian company.
>Because of the manner in which these mouthpieces are manufactured the
outside dimension of the mouthpieces vary greatly from one to the other. In
my experience the Gigliotti works on some(the narrower ones) but will not
fit others. You have to try one to be sure. On the other hand, the Rovner
Lite will fit any crystal mouthpiece, will not slip, and allows the reed to
vibrate adequately.
