[TPIN] Kelly plastic mps

[Ron Lipka]

Friends; I really find the Kelly mouthpieces very handy. I only play  
in cold outside rarely but find it worked great for that. On a daily  
basis I have it in my Jupiter pocket trumpet which I carry in my  
briefcase. Most of my work is working with school bands;  
demonstrating, guest conducting, clinics, etc.  It is so handy to  
have my little horn in my briefcase and with the plastic mp it is  
always the same temperature so I can just pick it up and blow.  My  
grand daughter use hers all the time. We bought it first for marching  
band (in the school color) but, as she has braces, it is a much  
softer feel for that condition. In several of the classrooms I visit  
the directors have gone to the Kelly for school horns because they  
are so inexpensive and the school-owned metal pieces seem to  
disappear frequently.
