    Please note. Shipping is $5 flat rate to anywhere in continental US. If you purchase more than one mouthpiece, I will ship multiple mouthp[ieces in a single box to you, still just $5 for the package.

    Hi Doug,

    These mouthpieces look great! Do you know what the difference, if any, is between a Yamaha 53HL and your Hokozano Special?

    Thanks,

    Robert Pendergast, DM

    I checked with Adam Frey. He says they are pretty much the same thing.

    We all should take a lesson from Doug. This is a great ad with excellent descriptions and pictures (and prices).

    Kudos to you Doug, and good luck with the sale.

    Doug, please give me your opinion on the DC3 vs a SM4.

    If it has a scooch more backpressure than the Mead, I'd like to get it.

    Dennis

  6. Dennis, cannot compare with the SM4 since I have never played one for any length of time, however, keep in mind that Dave switched from playing the Wick 4AL to the DC3. I have played the 4AL for over 30 years. If anything, the DC3 plays a bit "smaller" than the 4AL with a sharper rim and much heavier mass in the mouthpiece. Backpressure feels about the same as the 4AL. Also note that the DC3 is equivalent to the 4 series Wick while the DC2 is equivalent to the 3 series Wick.

  7. Still have 4 mouthpieces available

    Just a quick bump...The following four mouthpieces above are still available. They are all in excellent condition. Note the fairly large Wick 4BS and SM4B. These are pretty good Yamaha 201/321 mouthpieces and have beautiful gold rim/cup plating.

    4. Wick SM4B - Steven Mead 26mm with tenor shank. Gold rim and cup. - $45 (in box)
    5. Wick 4BS - 26mm tenor shank. Gold rim and cup. - $45 (in box)
    9. Yamaha SH Special - Yamaha 842 mouthpiece - large shank - all silver - $45
    10. Bach 6 1/2 AL - tenor shank - all silver - $25 - (in box)
