Attn: whoever WTB F mezzo-soprano mpcs

[paulwl]

Was it on this forum I saw a posting about someone wanting a mouthpiece for his F mezzo? I can't find the post now, I searched and everything...

Anyway: Kermit Welch in California is on eBay offering a repro version of the Conn mezzo mpc in several different facings, made for him by Babbitt. He claims one version is a copy of the original.

I got a very open one of these with the mezzo I bought from Kermit - nice sounding and good tuning, altho too open for my taste.

I got Babbitt's F mezzo reproduction direct from them for $76. Call 'em at 574-293-6514 or email to info@jjbabbitt.com.

Thanks Geo - why not eliminate the middleman?

(BTW, the mezzo poster is not on SOTW. It turned out he wrote to the BASS Sax Coop at Yahoo. No wonder I didn't remember! :roll:)
