    Description

    Custom mouthpiece made for LA player and personality Jean-Pierre Michelou.
    Pierre (known to his pals as "JP") is a local player in the Los Angeles area and has enjoyed an interesting and storied career. He's performed with the Pacific Symphony, and some of the artists he's worked with include Jose Carreras, Andy Williams, Natalie Cole and Helen Reddy.
    Pierre was the play tester for Benge trumpets, under the watchful eye of Zig Kanstul. Later, when Zig was approached by Boosey & Hawkes to recreate the fabulous Besson line, Pierre was his choice to test them. Locally, JP is also known for having owned a car wash, a comic book store and a pro audio business. A fabulous player and Renaissance man!
    The cup is medium deep, with an inner rim diameter of 0.689" diameter - putting it in the neighborhood of a 1C. Marcinkiewicz backbore. The throat is a slightly-larger-than-standard no. 26. A big boy mouthpiece with a big sound - use it for big band and pops ensembles.
    Condition is "New". Selling for private party. Shipped with USPS First Class. International shipping available.
