| The new Heim mouthpieces are still being made by the Leblanc division of Selmer. I have a gold plated one that i use and it's a great little mouth piece. By the way to get the petal tones just back off and they will come.
For the question of the new one being like the one Miles played. No it's not at all like the original. I splurged and had Valdimar Freidman make me an exact duplicate of the mouthpices he made Miles when Holton discontinued the Heim. It's a carbon copy of the original Heim 2 in gold. He has made over the years has made about a dozen exact copies. The size is more like a 7NY Bach size. The cost $200.00 dollars. |
