looking for a mouthpiece pouch..

[cardini]

I was recently using denis wick's leather case, and the mouthpiece was discolored quickly.
Does anyone know about a company that makes pouches that block air well?

I'm not sure you want to seal air - a little circulation might be more healthy for you and the mouthpiece.

The problem you are having is probably a reaction to the tanning agents in leather. I would suggest the case I use, which is sturdy, inexpensive, and won't cause tarnish:

I never knew that letting air flow a little is better than sealing.
I'll check the Protec pouch from the link. Thank you sir!

I definitely do NOT recommend using leather for a mouthpiece pouch, and am amazed that denis wick is making one. The chemicals used to tan leather react quite readily with a lot of metals. I use pro-tec cases for most of my mouthpieces, and they stay shiny for quite some time.

Thank you for the good information!

Definitely agree. I've been using nylon type mouthpiece protectors for years.
