Just bought a Callet X5 Buddy and it is special!

[Rod Haney]

Have a friend who played a lot with Buddy Childers in LA and though the world of his playing and musicianship. He knew I had purchased the SIMA and really liked the sound on a weekly Skype lesson. He spotted the MP on Ebay and said if I could get it for cheap I should try it as he thought it would be a piece I would like (he had played it before). So I bid 30$ and won it and it got here yesterday. Well, what a sound. It may take me a few days to fully hear everything this has, but it is by far the best of 9 MP I have and takes the sound of this horn to another level. I was already impressed with the big sound I got with the horn, the intonation, and of course the efficiency and ease of blow. But this MP absolutely takes it to another level. Its not a lead type MP (as far as shallow cup) and certainly not a legit type deep cup, but you can get a sound out of it (that to me) takes my sound to a higher level. Like I had another years good practice and was on a good day. Doesn't improve technique or really give me more range (altho the middle c to low C# are much more orchestral) but gives a startling improvement to my tone. Its like hearing a very good trumpet player with good tone play a piece perfectly and then hearing a virtuoso player do the same piece . Both sound good, but you know there is a striking difference somewhere altho the notes and pitches were the same. What a great buy!!

Although he only now sells his current line of Superchops mouthpieces Jerry made some great designs in the past.

As well as my SC3 and SC4 I also have a Callet SOLO and a 10-S V.F.
These are all great mouthpieces.
