I am a college trumpet player and I have been using the same mouthpieces since 6th grade. I switched to a Stork freshman year of college and loved to to bits. I needed to start upgrading my flugel, pic, and cornet mouthpieces and I started with the cornet. WOW! These are by far and away the most comfortable, freeblowing, and we'll made mouthpieces I have ever played and I plan to make use of every spare earning I have to getting a new Bb/C, flugel, and pic piece as soon as possible. The price means nothing in comparison to what you get out of it. Absolutely fantastic!
