I am using a mouthpiece that my old teacher ordered for me, but i do not know what it is called. It says "Zimmerman hand-crafted" on the side but nothing else. I have always known it to be the "Apple Valley" mouthpiece, Apple valley being a city in Minnesota, but i know that is just a nickname. I can't get in touch with my old teacher (we moved) and i don't know where she ordered it. I was thinking about getting another one but i think its around $170. My teacher got a discount when she got it for me. If I cant find this one, or for a lesser price, i'm thinking of getting a Richard Hawkins mouthpiece. any ideas?

It's probably "Zinner Hand-crafted", a German maker of blanks now used by many mpc. makers, including Hawkins.

The blank (Zinner) isn't worth all that much. It depends on who did the finish work that makes it valuable.
