Callet or Callet-style mouthpieces

ilikethetrumpet · 02-06-2007, 12:24 PM

Hi all, I'm in the market for a lead trumpet mouthpiece that has both sizzle and cushion to it (but aren't we all?) and I've tried a few of the older style callet mouthpieces--with the sort of outer funnel shape--and they seem to work very well for me. Of course, nobody with the older Callets (or the Callet copies) that I know will let them loose. I tried more of a recent Callet and I couldn't make heads or tails of it--not that it's bad, I just couldn't make a decent tone on it.

Does anyone know A) who manufactures copies of the older pieces, or if there are alot of used ones available B) and where--without leaving the midwest, perhaps?--I could try some and buy some.

GR mouthpieces will reverse engineer any mouthpiece that you want.

I believe Kanstul has copies also.

Look on eBay also for ones you can't find elsewhere.

Gary, (Castle Bravo) has a picture on his sig line of what looks to be a Callet DT-10 Accoustical mouthpiece. (it's not though)

Ask him where he got it.
