Hi,

I found this webpage http://www.saxwelt.de/index.php?
module=ContentExpress&func=display&btitle=CE&mid=&ceid=463 and it 
looks like an interesting 2-piece sax mouthpiece design called "The 
Steamer".

Unfortunately the website is in German and my translating is not 
very good.  I cannot understand what the design is trying to 
achieve, but the page does mention Link and Brilhart mouthpieces and 
they seem to have quite a few models available.

The shank/bore seems to be metal and the body looks like hard rubber 
or plastic, although I don't know how it would be manufactured or 
how it fits on the shank.

Does anyone have any information on this model of mouthpiece or 
maybe you could provide a bit of translation ?

Thanks in advance

Rhys

I tried Babelfish and got the general idea: they are the greatest thing since sliced bread, and all the pros are swooning over them. I would guess the copy is written by the manufacturer...

There are some metal clarinet mouthpieces on eBay that 2-piece the other
way.  The interior is entirely metal.  But the tenon and half the body is
plastic.  The beak is metal with an oval bite plate like a metal Selmer.  
I worked on a couple of them and they appear to me as Asian made.

Speaking of which, the Steamer copy says that the design uses elements from clarinet mpc design, whatever that means.

They may mean an "A" chamber shape, like many Brilharts.
