Subj: RE: [kl] Zinner Mouthpieces - US Distributor?

Of course. Mike's mouthpieces are beautiful and nearly every other
individual mouthpiece maker in the US uses Zinner blanks. I only
brought up the JC series as it, for a time, was a Zinner brand
mouthpiece with Jerry Hall's facings put on in the Zinner factory. My
apologies if I caused any confusion.=20

Dear US clarinetists,
What about Lomax Mouthpieces?
I think they are made from Zinner blanks too...
