Hi Bill - thank you for the explanation. I simply couldn't relate the phrase pop tone with a specific action discussed in your note. I personally am not sure that pop tone will tell us much about how a given mouthpiece will react with the horn it is in, but it certainly might. I have always

Cabbage gave a very good explanation of 'pop tone', as I understand it. It is a tone with a frequency related to the volume of the mouthpiece cup. This allows comparing variations in both depth and diameter in a single parameter. Since it is a function primarily of cavity size, that would

I have never heard that annealing is used to improve a mouthpiece. Why should a mouth piece be hardened (annealed) ??? For a mouth piece it is necessary to possess the proper width, depth, bore, shaft weight smoothness of the rim shoulders rim width back bore straight or

I've been using a Thomas Greer B12 mouthpiece over the past year. It's been a wonderful mouthpiece for me. I have a Denis Wick 'booster' on it. I've been told that the 'weight' that the DW booster adds really doesn't 'work' as an added weight since when attaching it to a mouthpiece the inner

I'll make some engineering 'guesses' to try to explain what I think might be going on as a way to ask some questions of my own that I hope can be answered by someone with real experience. The processes involved in making a mouthpiece involve applying a lot of mechanical and thermal stress to
