I was thinking the same thing... I was a little surprised to see one made by hand since almost every machine shop I have ever visited has CNC and with CNC's being way more affordable, I don't know why anyone would opt for this way unless they just like to work with their hands... not a very efficient way to make money. I miss the days of machining...
Well.. I begg to differ: check out Yamaha's mouthpieces. I play bass trombone and use the Doug Yeo signature series mouthpiece. I have 3 of 'em (just making sure), I never know which one I'm playing on because there are no differences. I think you wouldn't bet on that while doing the same with 3 Vbach mps..
What type of brass and what size blank did you use??? I'm trying to make a solid state mouthpiece extension and I think this may work only I need the right type and side rod or hex bar.
They are easy to make if you have a metal lathe, it's a D bit design. Turn your taper on a piece of tool steel, O1 is good (oil-hardening). Then file or grind it flat to the centerline, or just a hair below it. Harden with a quench in vegetable oil & temper to a light straw color, then stone the flat.
@spacecadet1975 tighter tolerances, better accuracy, faster--I don't see an advantage on the human side. It's not like the human workers are creating unique individual pieces; they're making them to factory specification, which is something CNC machines excel at.
hi there, i think yu are mising the point. yes cnc is quicker, possibly as long as it doesnt break down. But every turn of this mouth piece is perfected by human touch.... you cant bea that!!
For final touches w the buffer & the file for deburr not. But I work with cnc lathes all day (swiss & turret) and it can be done much much acurate and quicker than in a convenctional lathe. The cnc doesnt break down that easy... In my opinion, for making custom mouthpieces, convenctional; but for production cnc rocks it.
@ scbari05 itsbecause its handmade that makes it special. its not about making them faster. the machines always make the same thing over and over again. and most of the time its cheap crap. this also takes skill whitch the machine worker like you dosent always need
Are you really sure that CNC is not as good? after all just about everything made for mass production even by machines when the operator has gone to bed is commonplace today,look at car parts.Still I guess if you are a 'boutique" supplier like Morgan cars it lends it a certain "cachet".

that music was amazing it was so smooth and soothing
I've always wondered how mouthpieces were made as well great vid
@gessed :.Such a tasteful,melodic solo.Loved it.Surely someone should know who played the first solo.Thanks
Fun to watch. Thanks for putting it up. Allot more work then most people would think.
I stopped making mouthpieces this way 10 years ago. CNC machinery has changed our world for the better!

Very good. I enjoyed watching it -- I can't imagine what the product would look like if I tried that!
Very nice. A lot of work goes into those!
wow, a truly great machinist.
Yes it is arrangement by Davey Howes also playing the flugel..
Fantastic video! Do you then go on to plate it or just stay with a polished finish?
i´d love to have that job (mouthpiece making) as well as playing my horns...!
It was Davey Howes.. come have a look at my all my videos and you will see him on some more... He is amazing!

Como se llama la herramienta para hacer lo conico de la boquilla ?
I'm thinking you meant "elusive."
That tailstock needs adjusting or replacing watch it jump around when he centre drills/drills,its either not locked down or its sloppy.
i have a dent on the end of my mouth piece. Wil that affect how i play? And i also have 2 large dents on the base of the neck on my trumpet
Wow!!! that first song!!! I can't seem to find "Davey Howes" anywhere. Is there another name he uses or can you share that song. PLEASE!!
I'm buzzing into a mouthpiece as I'm watching this
What type of brass and what size blank did you use??? I'm trying to make a solid state mouthpiece extension and I think this may work only I need the right type and side rod or hex bar.
who is that playing - please excuse my ignorance - perhaps it says it somewhere and i cannot see it - what an interesting vid - i love it
jan
nice!
is that mouth piece made from stainless steel. all my mouth pieces are made of brass and plated with silver
Brass... Stainless steal is way too hard to machine a mouthpiece from...
Bradley Saunders look up Giddings and Webster
Taylor trumpets says " Yes a large one, I dont have to mortgage my house to buy a CNC Machine" thankyou
haha 9:20 is like gods mouthpiece!
where would one go about getting their hands on a reamer for the backbore?

Song?
@citywidelawns No, you missed the point. It is made by hand for a reason.

What a wonderful world.
@@jimmiereamey8250 A nice jazzy take on a Louis Armstrong classic.
Why would animals be harmed in this film???

NOW I know why I see so many machinists without thumbs...
Don't do "thumbs up" close to fast rotating machinery...
not nessercary?!!? of course it is. else us trumpetiers could'nt play!!
haha
The soloist should stick to jazz. Not play high notes. He's what we call a "mosquito player". His high notes sounding like tiny flying insects.
