Mouthpieces High Density: Imitation is the sincerest from of flattery

[mizmar]

Picky former nuclear engineer: It would actually be two smaller atoms and a bunch of energy.

Rhys

I managed to avoid "the picky" by not complaining that a fusion project would need Deuterium/tritium; plutonium would be a fission project!
... although many projects naturally fission, with the release of energy, shouting, tears...

Yes, I bit my tongue on the fusion comment as it was quite amusing !

Its overkill to use pure plutonium for a mp,

With depleted uranium, you'd have an mouthpiece capable a piercing through any metal band. Worth a thought.

Fusion, Fission: meh! the band's splitting up and getting back together again.

Playing one of these radioactive mouthpieces gives me a warm glow inside.

Fusion, Fission: meh!

Let's call the whole thing Oppenheimer

I'll go with dr Strangelove's fusion overkill as a band name.

Plutonium mouthpieces are safer if you play lead alto

Calm down everyone, let's not have a meltdown

Just have to be sure to mop out the heavy water

This thread has really brought out the Café's more unstable elements

As a mod, I am really pleased that no etymology jokes about "uranium" appeared.

Well, you don't know how people will react-or shield themselves.

I’d make another chemical element joke, but all the good ones argon.

That's so funny. You should get a slot at the Palladium

I'm sure you'll get a reaction

Like Argon, He is to noble to react 🙂

Just saw this:

New High Density Ebonite - Vandoren Paris

Discover the new High Density Ebonite, fruit of years of Vandoren's research and development.

vandoren.fr

(Sorry Jean Paul only kidding 😉))

We were there first though with the high density - based on Ed Pillinger's research. Fair enough the PPT is high density hard rubber+ bronze composite. Maybe they will all follow suit. Or maybe not.

PPT High Density Resin and metal mouthpieces - Taming The Saxophone

PPT mouthpieces: The most versatile mouthpiece ever. This is probably what you've been looking for all your life now in high density pearlescent composite.

tamingthesaxophone.com

I saw one of these today at Windblowers in Nottingham, I know naff all about clarinets but the Vandoren HD was clearly much heavier than a regular model which was next to it.

I haven't got a Geiger counter handy to test myself...
