[@urbanhorns6602]

witch mouthpiece do you use on flugelhorn ?

[@bigeyezzzzzzz]

The mouthpiece is a Jet-Tone “B” made in the 1970s by Bill Ratzenberger. It’s an extremely lightweight mouthpiece made out of magnesium.

@@bigeyezzzzzzz Thanks for quick responce ! Jet-Tone "B" witch model exactly ?

[@bigeyezzzzzzz]

@@urbanhorns6602 That’s all it was called when it was made back in the 70s. There is no specific model number. It is simply a magnesium jet-tone “B“ flugelhorn mouthpiece made by the founder of the company, Bill Ratzenberger.
