Re: Anyone tried the renewed Playnick mouthpieces?

I tried the new Nommus mouthpieces that use the their new synthetic reeds while I was at the ICA Convention in Belgium.

I talked to Nick Kuckmeir while I was trying them. He is quiet the passionate salesman. He also allowed me to take up them to my hotel room to try them in a more sane environment. The vendor booths at the conventions are a challenge to really hear anything.

My take-away was that these new seem to play well with their reeds. I did not try them with Legere or cane reeds however.

They are still pitched high as before (approx A=443). I think their primary market is for European players. I asked Nick if he could make a mouthpiece pitched lower i.e. A=440 for example. He said it was possible but didn't offer any further procedure to get this to happen.

I did talk to Karl Leister while I was their (we are long time friends) He felt the Brahms Op.114 was their best one.

One new twist is that their website does not seem allow for trials to be sent out as before. They suggest you travel to Austria to try the mouthpieces.

Maybe Inoledy in NYC will be selling them soon.

Cheers,
Robert

Maybe I missed something or the German version of the website says something different.

One point here is that I only tried the German style mouthpieces. I don't play on french system clarinets.
