What's up?
Conn-Selmer no longer seems to make Parduba mouthpieces. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO MAKES THEM? I a number available, both new and Vintage.
I would like to talk to someone about them.

According to the information in the following link, a division of Conn-Selmer in Arizona was making Parduba mouthpieces as of 2017, having apparently purchased the rights from Dick Akright when he retired:

To the OP, what makes you think Conn-Selmer stopped? (In any case, you could probably contact Mouthpiece Express and ask someone there about the current manufacturer since they still seem to have them in stock.)
