I'm waiting for one. I'll let you know.
This sounds pretty far fetched to me. He's making this model out of brass from a old church bell??????:shock:BATMAN said:A few things about this piece. I was talking Roberto, and he mentioned a few things that got my attention. First, this thing is made from a special vintage brass...but not just any brass, but I some really old church bell from France that Lebayle melted down and made mouthpieces out of! Kind of sacrilegious....but this brings the term "bell metal" to a whole new level! As the material is limited, this mouthpiece run is also limited edition.
Fred Lebayle is not talking about old church bells on his website, only about a new alloy for the LR II.Nefertiti said:This sounds pretty far fetched to me. He's making this model out of brass from a old church bell??????:shock:
That does back up the churchbell storyBATMAN said:And it does have a different vibration and ring to it that the white gold plating alone can't possibly account for...
Yes they do take Paypal, but the websites says they don't have any on the shelf at the moment.BATMAN said:Grumpie....really? They don't take Paypal do they???? LOL.
I'll have to see if saxofoonwinkel has an 8* in stock....
Just a thought but could this also happen because of the mpc or the combination lig / mpc. The lig probably has some max and min specs on the diameter and the mpc's can have differences when measuring top to table. When there is a lig at minimum and a mpc at max this could cause a problem. Either way this should be tested before packing them together ofcourse.Joe Jazz said:I had the same problem with a tenor metal LRI I tried. Couldn't get ANY of the 6-7 brand reeds I had to fit using the napkin ring. You'd think they'd test the darn things and figure it out! No such problem with my alto LR....
