Dear folks
I've just noticed on ebay that there are being offered stainless steel, and bronze copies of JBL horns .. at ridiculous prices.
I'd just want to put it out there that as a designer and manufacturer of mouthpieces for brass instruments, if there should ever be any serious interest in either stainless, bronze, plastic, brass, .. replicas of certain models. I'd most probably be able to offer them at a much lower price than the prices I'm seeing online. If it can be turned or milled, I can get the job done without a doubt, using high grade CNC machines. Prices would of course be dependent on the production amount (single item custom work is not the idea), so if there is an interest in a certain model, or models, let's discuss - and I'll see what I can do.
If there is a forum policy against me making an offer like this, please remove my message. Although I run a for profit business, I like a fair deal as much as anyone, and I'll do what I can to make it as interesting as possible for the community (if I don't lose money, I'm fine with it).
Best wishes
Tim
