Hi all.

I have been playing Curry mouthpieces for a long time now, and yesterday I tied to go to his web site and it is no longer there??

Does anyone know if Mark is still making mouthpieces?

Thanks

I just received a custom mouthpiece from Mark on June 27th, and exchanged some emails with him on the 28th.

I suspect there is a technical glitch that is temporarily preventing access to his website.

Just scheduled maintenance, everybody.

They're migrating the Curry Precision website to a new, secure server, and I expect my email to be down for awhile at some point.

Thanks for your vigilance!

Curry Precision Website migration and maintenance is still ongoing, everybody.

I still have my email at this point, but at some point it will be gone for awhile.

thanks for your patience!

yes, my Curry Precision Mouthpieces website is still not up.

I'm having issues with my ISP and they just do not seem to care that it's not visible to myself and/or the public.

But please know that I'm working on it!

In light of all this- I will be out of the office until August 11.

Thanks for your patience!

Looks like Curry Precision Mouthpieces is still offline.

I've been trying to research a Curry Trumpet mouthpiece that I've been using but cannot find a reference for it anywhere.

I was hoping to possibly get another one or something close to it.

It's marked with "Curry EBVM-x 5"

I can help some - I'm pretty sure the EB models were made for Eric Bolvin and would be a custom order from Mark. They are not on his website nor is Eric selling them online anymore.

Before custom ordering from Mark, you might check with Eric to see if he has any "new" old stock left.

or Eric is EBjazz at TH

I used several of his mouthpieces many years ago - they were quite nice.

You can get a version of the website from 2021 on the Wayback Machine:

hey All-

the formal migration of currympc.com to a new ISP has begun.

(this includes my email mark@currympc.com)

The new website will be written in HTML, instead of WordPress or older PHP driven software that will eventually needs constant updating. New photos and images will also be used due to different sizing and resolution requirements. The original text and general info will also be updated.

If you need immediate info, use the link to the Wayback Machine scottfsmith provided. (Thanks Scott!)

https://web.archive.org/web/20210618205620/http://currympc.com/

in the meantime use markcurry369@gmail.com as my email address.

Hopefully this disruption will only last a few days.

www.currympc.com has migrated to a new, more responsive ISP, in a new HTML format that looks great on phones, tablets, or computers.

mark@currympc.com, my email address is also restored.

Shout out to multi-talented, phenomenal tubist Russ Dickman for all the heavy lifting during this transition.

There's even a "contact us" form that works:)

We will be updating some of the images and making minor tweaks here and there.

Thank you all for your patience!

Thanks Andy. Yes, Mark and I designed the EBVMx5. Sorry, there are none left over.
It's a medium V cup with a Warburton 5 rim and Curry x backbore. 27 throat I believe.
