They may not have had the current 'production' models in stock then.
Hi Roger,
I've just been over to
Drake's website it looks like Wessex Music is the dealer for them in the UK.
As to what I thought, well, it was the first time I had even heard about ceramic mouthpieces let alone played one so hopefully my impressions were unbiased:
To be honest it played like an okay mouthpiece, I didn't dislike it but neither did it seem to offer anything different or amazing, I'd put it in the same 'plays okay, sounds okay' arena that I put the Vandoren metal V16 and Jody Jazz DVNY I tried - I wanted to be blown away by these pieces, I wanted them to feel and sound substantially different and be desirable but they were just 'okay' nice mouthpieces but nothing special. - Many will disagree with me.
This may sound like a daft analogy but it wasn’t until I got my Vandoren Java T75 that I felt like I’d strapped on some decent walking books instead walking about in a pair of old trainers, all of a sudden I felt a sense of surefootedness, and had a foundation to build on.
Back to the Drake mouthpieces, I didn’t even ask the price or make a note of the model, tip opening or anything, that’s not to say they aren’t good, the one’s I tried just weren’t for me.
Best wishes,
Chris
