    Shipping isn't all that much, you're going to pay some no matter where you're sending it... I have threaded several mouthpieces for people in other countries. I charge $60 plus shipping.

    The LT 101 is a little bigger than 6-1/1AL's are supposed to be, although some of them are that size.
    The plastic rim is Polycarbonate, not Acrylic. It's not supposed to break, but sometimes they...

    The "superiority" of Titanium Nitride coating ends when you drop it and it dents. Brass is relatively soft and TiN is extremely hard, so it cracks and there's no way to repair it.

    If you're coming from a Wick 7C and larger mouthpiece feel like you're drowning in them, it's very possible your particular embouchure type won't support a big mouthpiece and you should stay smaller...

    It sounds like that instrument needs a medium depth cup, and anything deeper makes it play flat and lose its character.
