Re: Thoughts on M30D?

Leitner and Kraus tried a very hard material called "Zelltec" which was intended to duplicate the tonal qualities of wood. Colbers says the Zelltec pieces were so hard that refacing them quickly wore down the refacing tools. After more research, Leitner and Kraus developed a new wooden mouthpiece that was processed in a way to minimize absorption of moisture and protect against warping. Both Jochen Leitner and Hans Colbers refer to these new L & K pieces simply as wooden or wood. In an email reply to me, Jochen Leitner said that "we also sell [these] wooden mouthpieces without facings." He then quoted the price for one or a small number of these (not for wholesale quantities) and it was quite reasonable.

For more info on L and K wooden blanks, email leitner-kraus@t-online.de.
