[TPIN] After Market Picc Leadpipes

[Bob Osmun]

Interestingly this subject is also being discussed on Trumpet Herald right 
now. In order to use our custom Bb piccolo mouthpipe for Schilke you must 
use a short shank trumpet mouthpiece as made by Monette, Warburton (BLP 
shanks), Blackburn, Reeves, Greg Black and others. When asked I will "short 
shank" trumpet mouthpieces to cornet length @2.750". This is the only way to 
play a trumpet receiver piccolo mouthpipe in Bb on a Schilke without 
altering the mouthpipe receiver. Stomvi is similar to the Schilke but their 
receiver is much shorter to allow either trumpet or cornet receiver 
mouthpipes. I hope this is helpful. Contact me if you have further 
questions.
