[TPIN] Kelly plastic mouthpieces

[Paul Dhuse]

Got some.  There're ok, but (IMHO):

1) they never seem to really seat in the receiver - with even a little pressure they seem 
to move in a bit and back out when the pressure goes away

2) They seem to be not as stiff, i.e., they seem to bend a bit

3) yes, they don't get cold, but they also don't warm up enough to be comfortable

4) the plastic has a funny feel to me, kind of tacky

OK for use outside when it's cold, but I don't like them for more "serious" playing.

They might be good to modify and evaluate the changes.

The standard cup sizes of trumpet and cornet mouthpieces are only $19.00 although the shallow screamer model is a bit dearer. I bought one online, a 7C and find it plays very well indeed. Only took four days to get all the way to New Zealand too. No more warming up a bit of cold brass either! Check out www.kellymouthpieces.com Cheers, Trevor Randall.
