[TPIN] RE: Curbing Mouthpiece Madness

[David Arndt]

As promised, I went back and counted the mouthpiece collection: 

There are 31 mouthpieces, of which 8 are screw rim underparts with 2 srew
rim tops. 5 of the underparts are custom cuts from Bach mouthpieces and 3
are Giardinelli. The mouthieces range from a brand new Bach 1E, to Bach 1C's
to Bach 8C's, 7EW, etc. to Shilke's and other brands (Yamaha, no-names,
etc.).  

(The one Jet-Tone is a "3C" but was dug-out a little bit.  Might still be
"interesting" - I remember I grabbed this mouthpiece when I was playing some
acts at a place called "Just Jazz" in Philly years ago.  The Miracles, or
someone like that.  As I recall, it saved my life for a few evenings. <g>)

The mouthpieces are in good shape - some need cleaning - all usable.  The
screw rim pieces are functional - tried them this morning.  Also need
cleaning - just grease and some dust.
