 | Xstream mouthpieces Hi to all This is my first post on this forum. Hopefully the first of many  .Has anyone had any experience with the Xstream mouthpiece, which can be found here : http://http://www.xstreammusicproducts.com/index.htm As an enthusiastic amateur I must admit to being easily tempted by such things.

| Re: Xstream mouthpieces From the website: "WARNING!!! May cause audiences to cover their ears." Hey, I can do that with any mouthpiece I own now! |

| Re: Xstream mouthpieces Not to bash a mouthpiece that I've never tried, but as far as I know there isn't a single place on the site where the actual physics of the mouthpiece are explained. All the videos just keep repeating the "more endurance, less effort..." mantra. Is this guy that makes the mouthpieces credible? I've never heard of him before. |

 | Re: Xstream mouthpieces not to mention, they list a 'gold' trumpet at a cheaper price than the silver...looks like lacquer to me... |

 | Re: Xstream mouthpieces I hate to be skeptical of new products like this but you can't help it because of the way it is presented. What is a power chamber!!!! Also, "it just works" is not going to get it for me. It all just seems like a gimmick to me. The name and presentation of the product feel like he is selling a new type of vacuum cleaner on one of those 30 min tv specials, not a trumpet mouthpiece. They have a 15 day return policy. Not much but its there. I would very much like to try this though. |

|  Re: Xstream mouthpieces Only one photo showed the rim and cup. Not a good photo. It looked a little like a parduba. Thank you for posting the link. It provides some entertainment that we don't have to take seriously. |

| Re: Xstream mouthpieces If it will make me sound like Maurice on my picc, Bud on my C, and Maynard on my Bb, while blowing into it like Herb Alpert, I'll get one! |
