Re: Seeking info on a Frank Kaspar Mouthpiece

Hi Ken,

I have the facings but the people here seem to think I don't have my facts straight

.

But I have the facings, the bores, and even the chamber depths, as well as the tip openings.

So the only way to probably prove all of this is send you samples to try! The people here won't back down even if I removed the name Kaspar and Chedeville with a file and secretly added marks to them. They will surely say the are not Kaspars's nor Chedeville's! It's just the way people are. They always want to see the proof and answers to what I write. Here's everyone's chance.

I know by writing this so players may get angry. I don't care aso don't waste your time getting angry.

For those that do believe this send $35 to PayPay at savagesax@aol.com and I will be happy to send you the blueprints of the Frank Kaspar, mouthpiece designs from Cicero, and Chicago, plus the Ann Arbor blueprints. I'll ship the prints within 2 weeks. At this time maybe the mysteries will be removed and realize the mouthpieces sold now called Ch Chedeville are juste trademarks of Chedeville's name only and the mouthpieces are not very good. The measurements are way off and don't play like Chedevills's or Kaspar's, compared to these early mouthpieces I have blueprints of. He messed up and only Trademarks. Sadly the trademark name Ch Chedeville ans Frank Kaspar's and don't play well at all. By the Selmer's or the Yamaha Custom and have them worked on a bit. Too bad the trademarks don't require patents to support those great mouthpieces and names. If any of you want to well go trademark Benny Goodman. Then the record companies might have to change his name to the King of jazz???

So if I send out 7 mouthpieces and they aren't marked, I'm the only person that knows, My guess is 92 percent of the players will pick the wrong one. They just don't have the ear and knowledge to hear what they sound like in a performance hall, so they will pick the mellow dead sound that doesn't project and these up close are not what Chedeville's and Kaspar's sound like. This is kind of like Buffet clarinets. Since the early 1970's they went to a large bore. But for some very stupid reason players still but out of tune horns that leak and accept this. WHY?

Every player from a beginner to a symphony pro of 40 years should be open to change. Thankfully a lot of these player do change.
