Mouthpiece Work / Dukoff Personal Model with Super Power Plus chamber

SUBJECT: Dukoff Personal Model with Super Power Plus chamber
Has anybody seen one of these? They sell for $60 more than the other "standard" chambers (M,D,P,S,X,L,H). No mention of them on the Dukoff web site which hasn't been updated in ages. One could only hope that the extra cost is due to quality hand finishing. Ya' never know. The info on the WWBW web site: "Designed to provide the player with better projection and volume, the Super Power Plus offers a powerful tone with good control and an even scale." Are they saying that the standard chambers don't offer any of those "features"? Funny... and a bit tragic. Its just another reason for this love/hate thing I have for Dukoff mouthpieces.

I've got too many Dukoffs as is (around 15 total spread across SAT in different chambers), most have been refaced by myself and a couple by JVW. Been playing Dukes for 20 over years - I hate their inconsistancy but I love how a good one plays. I have only seen vintage Dukoffs in brass, everything I have is Silverite. Where did you find yours? Mojo has seen chrome plated. The local shop has new 'D' chambers, but none are plated. I've called Dukoff, left messages and sent email with no response. Jon

Several clients have sent me new-looking Duks that are Nickle plated. I asked them where they got them and several said WW&BW. I dont know if they were a special run or the newest design.
