Full details of the passaround to be confirmed (usual shipping methods, buying options, contributions to the cafe etc)

In the meantime the list:

[ProfJames]

Not for me thank you. I politely withdraw my request

very well, can profit from this opportunity to try a little of Absolute products, I think you'll be pleased!

😀

 

[kevgermany]

Me too please, but let others go first. It'll be 3 weeks when you factor in postal delays.

 

[Sue]

Yes please @aldevis 🙂

 

[trimmy]

Me too please 🙂

I ' ll sign up for the passaround. Put me on the list in proximity to kevgermany so the mouthpieces can travel within Germany and don't have to cross the chanel multiple times.

I am afraid you will probably receive the whole lot. I am sure you can find a tenor to try the mouthpieces...

Actually, I always assumed you were the perfect guy for stuff like subcontrabbass, soprillo or viola...

... Anyway: when's the pass around happening?

Box arrived.
@MMM
Ready to have the coffee and start?
A couple of general rules will be made clear shortly. Stay tuned.

 

[aldevis]

In the box: S5* A6 T7* in resin
T6* ST
SAT superligatures

I will add a couple of pieces that I have here if I find a larger box.



I just tried the two T pieces. I usually blow a 9 but these are killers: partcularly surprised by the fatty projection of the 7*. Great on MkVI.

I will meet MMM this week.

Everybody else, please PC me addresses.

Well first of all many thanks to @Absolute (Grazie!) for making these available to us and to @aldevis for facilitating and making me drink to excess (well by my standards!) at his local !
As they say it never rains... after not trying any new mouthpieces for months (years?) I now feel a little overwhelmed by 7 of them!
On top of @Absolute 's 4 SATB, @aldevis added a metal 7 sop, metal 7* alto and a metal 6* for tenor!
Still trying to get my head around them as I only had this evening to try some out, I will reserve proper judgement in the next few days.
One thing I can say right now is, they look fantastic and are finished to perfection: I may have led a sheltered life, but once you'll see the perfection of those rails, you'll see what I mean.
The ligatures look great too: I love the metal ones which follow the faceted contours of the body, genius!
The baritone is the slimmest bari piece I have ever tried, it fits the alto ligature, and the rails are so thin on this, I swear I've never seen them so thin on a composite mouthpiece.
So... I'm back to trying some more...got to get out my soprano!
Cheers M.

Any suggestion about the best shipping method in the UK?
It is quite a valuable box, and the insured amount can make quite a difference.
