I had this piece in my hand deciding on a mouthpiece, I pondered for a few minutes and then I though it would look cool with a very short taper, I am glad I went with that thought. I think this turned out pretty cool but I like things a bit different. Beautiful colors on the mouthpiece and the blast really sings, the smooth top adds a pleasant look. Hand cut Tan Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver “Double Diamond” fitment. Thank you very much for looking.
