I have actually been looking into some K&G mouthpieces after reading that Robbert Vos uses one. Hadn't heard much about them beforehand. The size 5's...

Yes that is one of my favorites! Also 1-3 for 6th partial Eb. And sometimes 1-2 for A above that instead of 2.

Yeah, it seems they don't get messages from their Contact Us form. I emailed them and got a response in less than 24 hours.

My Cronkhite bag is one that has just gotten better with age!

It took 18 days from order to receiving it. However, he is making me a new one because the small portion is too big and won't fit between the...

I was the one who first contracted with John to publish the piece with recorded synthesizer. That's while I was running Whaling Music Publishers. In...

Great! I had never thought about it. Too bad, Festive Overture was on last year's program and Ab between two Gb is much easier with 1 than with 2-3...

Facebook message or direct email seems to be the best way to get ahold of them.

I’ve been emailing them. Just heard back a couple hours ago to confirm.

I like 1 for the F# above middle C. Comes in handy for Festive Overture.

How did you get in touch with them? I sent them a message through the "contact me" page back on the 25th and haven't heard from them.

Thanks Franz, that was very useful information for me!

My son (and wife) ordered mine on the morning of the 6th. It arrived last Thursday, and I was given it last weekend.

Grip ordered. yay.. Pink on the outside. Light Blue on the inside with white stitching. Didn't get one for the baritone. Got one for...

A whole new set is not expensive, I'd just replace them. eBay has them by the droves, under $20.

Getting ready to order mine. Working out the customizations. When they showed me the pink color I was instantly excited.

And a full tracklist! 1. Pennsylvania Polka, arr. Gail Robertson 2. Okey Dokey Polka, arr. Niko Schroeder 3. Beer Barrel Polka, arr. Mike Forbes...

A bit more about the band for anyone interested-- The Bierkeller Boys are the Midwest's premier polka-playing tuba quartet. These four low brass...

Thanks, Aroberts! Glad to hear you (and your kid) like it. We're not playing live at the moment since a couple of our members are living in Europe,...

The 6th partial TC F is also sharp on my 4-valve Sovereign, but it's pretty much in tune when played with 1-3. My F# is pretty accurate so no need...

I also have a Besson New Standard euphonium which is very high pitched on the 6th partial. For (treble clef) G I use 1-3 (or 1-2), for F# 1-2-3, but...

When, in 2007, I purchased the Besson Prestige it came with an Alliance mouthpiece (I don't remember if 2 or 3), but I didn't like it and I changed...

This is wonderful playing, thanks for sharing! For what it is worth, as soon as your recording of Pennsylvania Polka came on our six year old...

I agree. There is also a very closely related model of this that has worked well for a number of years: Doug Elliott Mouthpieces.

A subscription fee would probably be the easiest. A person pays maybe $10-20 for XX amount of time, and gets to demo as many mouthpieces as they want...

Well, on reflection, there may in fact be a business opportunity here for you if you wanted to go in that direction. There are several approaches...

This is my concern as well - I haven't quite figured it out yet, but I'm working on it.
