Before you buy your next mouthpiece, ask this question. Is the maker a player and is every mouthpiece play tested? I also use CNC machines in my production, but don't  let anyone tell you that the mouthpieces come off the machine ready to play. It's just not true! I play test every mouthpiece and make the final adjustments by hand to insure that each mouthpiece plays as intended. Who should find the mouthpieces that aren't quite ready, the maker or you? 

All Ponzol mouthpieces are designed, finished and tested by Peter Ponzol.  Every mouthpiece comes with a Rovner ligature and cap.  

THE CUSTOM MOUTHPIECES ARE BACK IN DELRIN !

 For 20 years I have offered a line of mouthpieces called the Custom. In the past they were made of Ebonite (hard rubber). Ebonite (hard rubber) was developed to make bowling balls and has as much as 30% sulfur, which out gasses. This is why the color fades and they begin to have a sulfur odor. I discontinued the Custom mouthpieces three years ago because of the material. I tested many materials and finally found Delrin, a high tech synthetic material that is FDA approved for food use, so you can imagine how safe it is to play. Delrin has many other qualities which makes it a much better material for mouthpieces than hard rubber.  Delrin actually costs the same as stainless steel. The older Custom mouthpieces were patterned after my brass M2 mouthpieces. The new Custom mouthpieces in Delrin use the same computer program as my stainless steel models. The perfect mouthpiece for players who don't like to play metal but want a modern mouthpiece with a similar response and sound. Available in one tip opening for soprano, alto, tenor and baritone

The new stainless steel soprano mouthpiece is now available in the 65 opening. A photo will be up soon. Suffice it to say that it looks just like a smaller version of the alto mouthpiece. Powerful and warm.

The new stainless steel baritone is now available in the 110 plus opening. A photo will be up soon. Suffice it to say that it looks just like a larger version of the tenor.  A new design with a chamber between the old M1 and M2  models. Full robust sound with warmth and power.

	NEW: Stainless Steel alto mouthpiece in 85 opening. This is the best metal alto mouthpiece I have ever played! This chamber combines the best of the old M1 and M2, with a darker warmer sound.
	NEW: M2 tenor model in Stainless Steel available now in 105 and 110 opening. This new M2 is warmer and darker sounding with a stronger fundamental than my older brass models.
	New Vintage Model: The new Vintage tenor model replaces both the II-V-I and the ML. Available now in 105 opening in stainless steel and gold anodized aluminum. This is the best sounding and playing vintage mouthpiece I have ever made.
	New! M2 Plus metal tenor mouthpiece: The Stainless Steel M2 Plus is the brightest of my mouthpieces. However in Stainless Steel it has the projection of the old model but is darker and warmer with a great balance between the overtones and fundamental. In 105 and 110 openings.

It's very difficult to put into words what a mouthpiece sounds and plays like. The only way to know what works for you is to try it. The M2 Plus is the brightest of my mouthpieces, and the Vintage the darkest. Yet I've had players tell me that they found the M2 dark and the other models bright. Since these are very subjective terms please don't be afraid to try different models.
