General literature references: Described in maker's brochure as 'The last word in the art of mouthpiece making. Its sparkling, brilliant tone, free of nasal twang and fabulously easy high register, is ideal for dance music, stage presentations, and "firework" performances where player is required to perform the seemingly impossible. Preferred by beginners, advanced school musicians who desire to advance quickly and by many symphony artists who regularly interchange between Bb, C and D trumpets. It is the mouthpiece you can buy blindfolded if you are not set on any other model'. Purchased by lender with orchestral cornet in Bb (2502).
