Thread: Another opportunity for a CKB 5G

    I had the same experience recently with a mouthpiece purchase John. They do shine up quickly though, I'm thankful for that. I love the Hagerty's polish. Seems to work well with both horn and mouthpiece.

    What cloths with the polish in them do you use. I've not tried that. Sounds like a neat idea.

    There are many on the market, and your local music store may have them. But here is a good choice from Hagerty, which includes their tarnish preventative additive so your shine will last longer:

    What Dave suggested sounds great. I have some that I got directly from Yamaha. I may try one from Hagerty.

    John, no need to beat yourself up over this. I do this sort of thing, too. It seems to come with the territory when we reach our age. I'll bet your wife does similar things as well.

    I bought one of these last year from MP express because of a post on this board. Since then, it's become the mp I use with my horn. Great mp!

    I bought one of the last two listed. Looking forward to its arrival. I have been struggling with my Dw4AL so looking forward to a big cup with a smaller diameter.

    I, too, thought Quinn's large stash of these mps was about gone, so I bought another one as a backup given their low prices. However, it seems that he has more again. He seems to pull them like rabbits out of a hat! I'm not sure exactly how many he really does have, but he''s sold over a 100 and the listing says that he has more than 10 available. At the price he's selling them, it looks like everyone here on the forum will be able to get one if they want one.

    Here'e the link once again for anyone who isn't tired of me recommending this mp.

    Update:

    Ebay lists that Quinn is down to his last King/CKB/UMI 5G. He once had 133.

    If you've ever been interested you should take a look because these are no longer in production.

    Here's the link again:
