  1. #1

    Question FS: Alliance DC4 Mouthpiece in Silver

    This is the model I'm currently using, so obviously I like it. Not much is offered for a description of the condition. Current bid level is $60 and the buy-it-now price is $100.

    PROBABLY SOLD - ITEM NO LONGER AVAILABLE

  2. On a related note, I saw on the Alliance website that they will no longer be selling their products through their website to customers outside the UK.

    With that in mind, do you happen to know of any dealers in the US that currently offer Alliance mouthpieces? I saw the DC series are out of stock on Dillon Music's website, and it looks like Thomann can deliver them to the US.

    I suppose one could go right to the guy:

    Thomann has "several months" for the models I'd be looking for. There may be a backlog at the factory, but it is worth giving David a chance to save the day.

    I have this mouthpiece in gold and after only using it for about 20 minutes, I decided it was not right for me. Someday I should sell all the extra mouthpieces I have, all basically unused!! I actually got it from a place from a place in Singapore, Music Elements. Thoman was backordered.

    They must have updated it. When I just looked, shipping is $5.50.
    I asked if they could post a picture of the cup and rim. It would be a shame if you got it and there were gouges or scratching on the rim that were noticeable. The shank looks like it may be dented in a few places, but that's an easy fix - the rim, not so much.

    Is yours a DC3 or DC4? I’m looking to buy a DC3.
