So far I have:
Lynn Nicholson's Monette Prana (my lead piece)
Roger Ingram's Pickett made Reproduction (my lead piece)
Patrick's MF 1 (old configuration)
Greg Black's MF Giardinelli Vintage
Legend's MF HG
Any other pieces out there based off the MF Holy Grail piece ? This is actually my lead piece (corrected from an earlier post).

Stomvi! The GH and the GHM. The GH is .600 diameter.. a very, very nice piece.. the GHM is bigger..but I don't know if it goes all the way to .623.. maybe so. Best, Lex

I think the Stomvi GH is a copy of the GR - with some of their own modifications.

| Should I get the Patrick MF (which has a 30 throat) if I want to learn the MF protocol? I don't know if the tight throat would get in the way of the protocol learning because lynn's throat is wayyy bigger. |

I wouldn't think the throats size would effect any teaching discipline. Further I don't think any mouthpiece would matter, would it?
However, if you get a piece with a tight hole, you can always open it. You can't go the other way!! |

Yamaha Guy ...
I have tried several times to get a Groovin High Mouthpiece from McMillion and GR with absolutely no success so I am done pursuing anything from that Company.

Those pieces all have such deep cups 
I also read he had throats sizes from 19 down to 14s at one point. Crazy!! |

Rusty,
We have 19 versions of the Groovin' High on file as well as the original and need to figure out what you want.
I believe we were talking about making a version for you that you would actually play as opposed to just collect.
You are still on our list if you just want the original design to collect. If you want a personalized version, that would take some time but it can be done.

Just ordered this mouthpiece. So far, I am heavily favoring the Monette Prana Lynn Nicholson piece with a 23 throat and the Ingram / Pickett Reproduction which is also an exact copy of the original. The Ingram reproduction piece has more resistance than the Monette Prana which is very open.

Amusing since you own numerous Arturo 3C configurations ... correct ?

To correct my first post ... this is the mouthpiece that I actually play for my range studies etc. (high G to double C). As many others do ... I am collecting other configurations of this mouthpiece as I am a firm believer in trying out equipment.
So far, Ingram's exact Pickett made reproduction mouthpiece and the Monette Prana Lynn Nicholson piece are the two that I favor with the Ingram reproduction being a copy of the actual mouthpiece that MF gifted to Roger.

If it's your first MF-style mouthpiece then it doesn't matter which one you get. I have the Warburton one, which I use as my lead piece at the moment.
Have you considered the X-piece and reversible rim?

No Jet Tone with the 1950's Calicchio piece.

He also bought one of the Bell pieces Maynard supposedly played.  |

| A friend of mine said that the warburton MF is too deep and therefore shouldn't be used for the protocol though. |
