I was playing at a festive over the weekend using a new mouthpiece plated in silver. My main mouthpiece is gold but i got a Roger Bobo Solo for christmas and im loving it, but after the 2 days my lips were buring and felt rough. I had my teacher reach out to get it plated in gold which i am waiting for the price. Im also considering a stainless steel mp thats similar. Does anyone know about stainless steel mouthpieces with a mid shallow to shallow cup, 7.5 - 8mm throat and a rim around 32 - 32.2 like the bobo. I saw a sellmansberger 32-3 #1 rim, Solo Cup and Solo backbore but not sure how close this is to the Bobo, Thanks

Re: Search For Stainless Alternative
Many of us have cheaply solved that problem by putting nail polish on the rim.

I’d say look at the Sellmansberger Solo Cup or maybe a Denis Wick model. If you’re after that shallow cup and specific measurements, these might be close enough. Also, a lot of people just use nail polish on the rim to stop the irritation.

Re: Search For Stainless Alternative
If you like the Bobo solo rim, I've got sort of blobby rims (similar to those with narrow openings - as you describe).
