Re: REVIEW: CHI Brass AJ Adjustable Cup Mouthpiece

Glad you like it! Your review and comments are right on point with my own. I would add a few thoughts I like this mouthpiece and it has specific uses on my Nirschl York. I never expected it to be a great mouthpiece just a specialized tool however, I love it and use it as one of my main F mouthpieces ...

Re: quick question on the HB-2 (rotary) Hirsbrunner CC

I owned an HB2 for 8 years. It was the easiest horn to play I have had. Pitch great no problem with any note all the way down. The guy I sold it to 25+ years ago still has it and loves it. Sold it to pay for my Nirschl York. A few years later I got a PT20 rotor that was close but not quite as good ...

Re: SOLD: Walter Sear Helleberg, gold plate $125

I have a large sear that is not stamped Helleberg but is that type that had belonged to AJ. It was a soft nickel alloy no plating. I did gold plate it so I could use it.

Really nice MP on large horns
