Mouthpiece reviews My new Tenor PPT 9*

[spike]

Ding Dong PPT calling.
My new Tenor PPT 9* just touched down at the front door.
Ripped apart the packaging.
Frown Came in a lovely cardboard tube but the mouthpiece was wrapped in a plastic bag
An old crunched up piece of newspaper would have done the job just as well. 😉
Stop moanin' Spike !
Rooted about in my drawer for a lig, and an old reed, slapped the whole caboodle on the horn.
My goodness me this thing is a monstrous work of Amy Zing art.
Need to get my neck cork redone as it's going too far "on" and need to take some time to find the best reed combination.
Right now it's WOW why didn't I get one of these years ago.
I shall post more in the next few days as I explore what I can do with it.
This is the first time I've bought a mouthpiece without having tried it out for several days.
Baby I'm amazed 😀
Thanks @Pete Thomas

Good point, we at PPT are committed to saving the planet, and will address this immediately and find a sustainable alternative packaging solution. Of course then there's the issue of the postage jiffy bag containing plastic bubble wrap. And of course the mouthpiece itself is only about 50% compostable (assuming hard rubber is compostable)

I might start another thread about the green issues of mouthpiece manufacture/distribution, thus keeping this thread to lovely heartwarming glowing tributes to the best mouthpiece on the (dying) planet.
