| Neil Sanders Mouthpiece Hi all, Through a coincidence, I came to be housesitting for Neil Sanders' stepson this week, and he has a very large stock of Neil Sanders' mouthpieces here. I've been having a ball trying them all out. The cornet mouthpieces (esp. the 17M, a very comfortable middle ground between a traditional cup and extreme conical shapes) and piccolo trumpet mouthpieces in particular play like a dream--they have a wonderfully comfortable rim on them, not unlike (ahem) a Wick, but not too staid of a sound. Likewise, the flugel piece plays like a dream. Just a month ago, I began playing on a set of classical trumpet mouthpieces of another brand, so I really haven't monkeyed around with those for fear upsetting my own apple cart. My father's a euphonium player, and I just found out that he's played on one since the early 1970s, when he met Sanders at Western Michigan. He's been looking for a corresponding Wick mouthpiece but misses his original setup. I'm wondering if maybe there are other devotees in a similar boat. Is there a market out there for these? Let's say you knew someone with a great stock of largely defunct mouthpieces--what would be the best way to move them out? As his link to the trumpet/cornet playing world, I thought I'd post this here for feedback that I could share with him. Thanks, all! |
