Within each blank lies beauty yet to be revealed. I start by obtaining the finest quality hard rubber and metal rods to produce my different mouthpiece models. Careful shaping, coupled with the precise removal of excess material, allows the voice within to be released. I personally work each mouthpiece until I'm satisfied that I have attained its greatest potential."
