Hi there,

I've been playing off and on for about 25 years and have been using the same mouthpeice for the last 20 of those. About two weeks ago disaster struck and the tip of my mouthpiece snapped. I was really quite surprised at how upset this made me. You really don't know what you've got till it's gone :-(

I've tried using a couple of replacements but it's just nothing like the same.

It was only when I began looking for a replacement that it became clear I've been uinknowingly using quite a rare breed of mp all these years: a Reginald Kell 1010 (3).

I've kind of came to terms with the fact I'll probably never find an actual replacement, but was wondering if the forum could offer advice on the closest possible replacement in terms of lay, etc. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to the specifics of mp design for obvious reasons (using same one for two decades).

I've attached a couple of pictures and can supply more (and specific measurements) if required. Any help at all would be gratefully received.

Long time lurker, first time poster and hoping for some help.
