New Fedchock Mouthpiece
Has anyone tried the new Fedchock mouthpiece from Pickett?

Re: New Fedchock Mouthpiece
You've asked this question before quite a while back..... Why don't you order one and then tell us all what it's like?
Go on take one for the team

Re: New Fedchock Mouthpiece
You can order one for me. I’m not interested in spending money in experimentation. I was hoping someone would have something to say about the piece.

Re: New Fedchock Mouthpiece
It's a piece based off of John's 11C. I played the prototypes a while ago and actually liked all of them, even though they were all different. If you like 11Cs, this would be good to check out.

Re: New Fedchock Mouthpiece
Well Nick liked all of them so I guess you'll be buying one now then?

Re: New Fedchock Mouthpiece
You know, I ask because I’m interested, not because I’m hoping to get a bunch of sarcastic comments. I already play any 11 C that’s been altered in the way Fedchock’s mouthpiece was done. it has also been skeletonized. In fact, I have two of them and I am working on a version of that mouthpiece that will be coming out eventually from Houser Mouthpieces. I simply wanted anybody’s opinion that might’ve tried one.

Re: New Fedchock Mouthpiece
Of course. Pepe in NYC altered pieces for lots of trombonists such as Urbie, Fontana, and a host of others. It has to do with throat and backbone size and shapes and how that is opened up, and to what size. John himself says his original 11C was alterered, but he doesn’t say by who or when.

Re: New Fedchock Mouthpiece
My pleasure - I wish I had more info for you - all I can say is the rim was very comfortable for me and the throat seemed perfectly matched to the cup size/depth. That match can be really hard to dial in, and finding a truly good Bach 11C with those agreeable dimensions are usually held on to, as we all know. John's is very much that, and has quite a bit provenance. I know he spent a lot of time and went through lots of versions dialing his piece in with Pickett.ssking2b wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 10:30 amOf course.
