I'm looking for a tenor metal mpc,but with a similar baffle this HR mpc I have.Do you know guys any brand,model or a mpc refacer maybe..?Thanks a lot.

That appears to be one strange job been done on that mouthpiece. Do you mean you just want a metal mouthpiece with a bullet shaped baffle, or exactly the same shape? maybe a Berg larsen, but the bullet is not quite the same.

Do you mind me asking why you want a metal mouthpiece with a similar baffle, and not a HR mouthpiece with the same baffle?

 

[Laércio Junior]

Yes,I'd like a metal mpc with a similar baffle,not bullet.Thanks.

Pm sent Mr Pete Thomas.

But that doesn't answer the question, why a metal (as opposed to HR) mpc?

I have two HR mpcs with this baffle,I'm curious to play a metal version,it's just.By the way,it's going to mpc's refacer to make a metal copy.Thanks.

I'm still curious as to why (surely you have a reason?). If it were possible to design a metal version with all the exact same dimensions as that HR one (not sure it is possible, though), it would sound and play exactly the same. Maybe it would feel different though. Is that what you're after?

Really? That tip looks 'orrid.

 

[Laércio Junior]

Yes Doctor G,I agree with you,the tip is awful,because it's going to mpc refacer.I like the sound this mpc,it has a dark sound and fat with a lot of projection,volume,when pushed,the sound comes with bright, totaly easy to play,but it has a few imperfections,as you saw,I think it's worth be worked.If you want,before I send it to be worked,I can send you (or another sotwer) this mpc,then you could get your opinion about it,sure,if you be interested.

Well JL, I am always looking for jazz/rock mpcs,powerful mpcs.There are mpcs of a same manufacturer what the HR and metal models have the same blaffle, same chamber,it’s sure, don’t have the same sound,for exemplo mpcs C.Lakey,B. Larsen,Lawton,Dukoff(D,M models),etc..
Sometimes I prefer HR,other I prefer metal mpcs of same manufacturers.I’ve ever had experiences with a few these mpcs, so my preferences are:
-C.Lakey and Dukoffs(Vibracom) mpcs I prefer HR models to Metal models.

-Lawton I LOVE both models (I can talk about mpcs made by Jason Lawton)

-B. Larsen I prefer Metal Models to HR models.

Following that idea, I’d like to know how could be a metal model this my mpc.Thanks.

If they don't have the same sound, it's not because one is metal and the other is HR. It would be something different in the design. One thing I know for sure, the power, volume, projection of a mpc is not dependent on it being made out of metal. By far the most powerful tenor mpcs I own are HR. But again, it's NOT because they are HR. It's the design.

I only mention this because a lot of players share the misconception they need a metal mpc to get a big/powerful sound. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Aren't the rails a bit thick?

Aren't the rails a bit thick?

I noticed that too. They look about a half inch wide. Very strange looking...
