Second that. During my search for the ideal mouthpiece for me (remember, it's quite an individual thing), I settled on the Pizka mouthpiece for quite a while. Long enough to buy four or five of them, and give a couple to friends. However, I finally figured out that what I really needed is a wider diameter, to fit my teeth and facial bones better. Currently, the Laskey 85G is the best compromise I've found, because it fits me well and works well with most of my horns. But if there'd been an 18.25 or 18.5mm version of the Pizka mouthpiece, I would have looked no farther. I'd have had no reason to. Bore size, cup shape, and rim shape and thickness all seemed just about perfect to me. It was the first really thin rim I ever used, and that greatly helped my articulation. Hans, is there any chance that you'll be enlarging your line of mouthpieces (pun intended), now that you'll have more time on your hands? ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

Yes, I found this information on mouthpieceexpress.com - same info.

Re: [Hornlist] Yamaha mouthpieces
Normal fractional drill bits often are sized every 1/32". Bore sizes correspond to numbered drill bits, and the difference between numbers is usually only a couple of thousandths. A number 3 bore is 0.213", and number 12 bore is 0.196". There are ten number drills covering a range that, at best, includes only two fractional drills. If you go to Harborfreight.com, you can buy a complete set of numbered drill bits, on sale, for $12.99. The bits are M-2 steel and are TiN coated. Only change the bore one number size at a time. At the very least, use a drill press. If possible, set it up so the mouthpiece spins, and the drill bit is clamped and stationary. Remember, you can easily drill it bigger, but you can't drill it smaller. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: horn@music.memphis.edu Sent: Thu, 22 Mar 2007 8:54 AM Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Yamaha mouthpieces I've had a couple horn professors tell me to drill a mouthpiece to a larger bore myself. I even did it to a $100 mouthpiece on a suggestion by a well respected horn professor ( you all know him ). Just fit the drill bits through the bore until you find the one with the tightest fit. Then go one bigger and drill away. Don't worry about centering too much it kind of self centers as long as you make an effort to drill straight.

RE: [Hornlist] Yamaha mouthpieces
Yes, this is interesting, but I'm afraid it's not enough for someone like me. :( For instance, when I was playing production Giardinelli mouthpieces, I knew that I liked the C series, and experimented with the different sizes, which meant different bores, but basically the mouthpieces were all the same except for the size of the bore. I'd like to know what the difference is between, e.g., the three that are all "30", and then the 29's and the 31's, etc. Basically what I'm trying to do is sneak in a small change here. My son was 10 when he started playing the 30C4, he's now 14 and bigger than I am, plenty strong, has high notes to burn, so a slightly larger bore mouthpiece might work out very well for him but I don't want to change anything other than that one parameter if I can. In other words, I need to know if the "30" or the "C" or the "4" means something in regard to the bore size and if they make another mouthpiece that might fit the bill here.
