 Re: Nick Kuckmeier Playing His Own Mouthpieces

Not to further confuse the (tangential) issue, but back in the 1920s/30s, many mouthpieces (mostly for sax but some for clarinet too) were made of a reddish-brown early plastic which was phenol resin, known to most by the inventor's trade name of "Bakelite", and which usually were at least internally lined with metal (usually cupronickel a.k.a. "nickel silver" or "German silver"), and sometimes additionally the table and facing also of the same metal molded into the plastic body. They were very heavy.

I'm not aware of any plastic mouthpieces with metal flecks or powder mixed into the resin, I doubt it would have any acoustic effect if it were, most likely it would be an esthetic thing like metalflake paint on cars.
