Mouthpieces Alto Dukoff alternatives?

[fibracell]

I once had a Dukoff alto mpc, but I didn't like the fact that they are so delicate, and prone to minor dents on the tip and rails.

I might try another Dukoff style mpc, and was wondering what a good alternative might be that has better construction.

cheers Rob

Vandoren Jumbo Javas- much better made and a great "dukoff-ish" vibe

Try a Rico Metalite, Vandoren Jumbo Java, Rousseau JDX, Lebayle Studio, Lawton BB. ARB Metal, Beechler Bellite or spend loads of money on one of these -

What a beautiful thing. I was clicking through these and wishing I played brass.

Wot's the long lever?

Safety catch?

 

[TomMapfumo]

To lengthen the 3rd valve when playing low C# and D, which play naturally sharp.
