Custom Services
Sometimes the smallest change can make the biggest difference. The secret here is knowing what to do and when to stop.
Plating Services
.9999 pure silver. All silver plating is done in-house with no extra delay, or while-you-wait for walk-in customers (call ahead)
RT Backbores
Using the reverse taper to increase velocity has paid off in ways I had never imagined for lead and commercial trumpet players.
Warburton Dealer
I have a complete display kit of Warburton trumpet mouthpieces for you to try and can customize to your liking if needed.
My Custom Mouthpiece Specialties
Many times that mouthpiece that almost works, but not quite, can be altered to perfection by asking you probing questions and adding my experience and instincts. All custom work can be plated the same day and rushed back to you.
After working with hundreds of lead trumpet players over the last 36 years, and being one myself, I can say that I have a good idea of what they are looking for in a backbore.
Do you have a mouthpiece in your drawer that has been drilled out too far and “ruined”? Ever wish you could go back a step? Bring your mouthpiece back to life by restoring the bore size back to where it was when it played great!
Shrinking the bore is a time consuming, labor intensive process that most mouthpiece makers don’t like to do, but I find it to be enjoyable. Any good machinist can plug a hole; the artistry is in blending the ends of the plug to match existing contours.
One advantage from retiring from full time manufacturing work is that I can now set my own hours and prioritize your calls.
My silver plating is done in-house and is of the highest quality using .9999 silver.
