Bill Gross wondered: My Dear Herr Doctor Professor I. M. Gestopftmitscheist,
Might I ask a question of you? "WHAT KIND OF MOUTHPIECE DO YOU USE?" Now, I have made the usings of the same mouthpiece for the longestest of times, now, ever since my neighbors made the snatchings and stealings of my other one, as they were tired of listening to the "ultimate sacrifice" of horn playing, Kopprasch No. 1 and that mouthpiece is a Schlumpf Custom Model PIMG007.711GR81, made by Bob Schlumpf, husband of Margie Schlumpf, who ran the diesel shop at Margie's Truck Stop, Motel and Showers in Exit 2, NJ, where I use to have my teaching studio on the second floor, room 6D, and Bob was a great machinist so he copied my old Fisch PD (Pretty Deep) that had been given to me by my teacher, Herr Otto Fisch when I was a student at the Hochschule in Bad Lippstadt when he told me to "take this mouthpiece and go practice Kopprasch until you get it right" and I am still on No. 1 to this very day with that mouthpiece even though it was stolen but I had had the havings of the good sensilogicals to have had Bob the makings of the copy and now you know why as well!
