 Posted: Tue Apr 25, 2023 12:19 pm Post subject: Finding Parduba mouthpieces or suitable equivalents? |
 |
|
Hi all,
I recently acquired a Parduba 4.5 mouthpiece that I'm really rather enjoying but I'd also like to try a few above and below that size to see how they also work for me. Now I've managed to locate and buy a pair of size 5 Harry James models that I'm waiting on being shipped to me (One in a box dated for 2022 and the other that looks considerably older with HJ hand stamped on the shank) and would like to find a size four or even maybe a 3.5 to try on the other side but it would seem that basically no-one sells them new here in the UK and, on the other side of the pond they seem to be 'out of stock' and would probably cost a lot to ship to me. Question is -
Are there other mouthpieces of a double cup nature and similar diameters that perform similarly and are more easily available, particularly in the UK and at prices that make them less of a painful expense should they not work for me.

Thanks for that tip Schilkeshaker and for seconding it Andy. I will check them out. I've dealt with Thomann a few times for guitars over the years and always found them very good to deal with.

Have you tried the Tilz Ambassador mouthpiecs? If so are the double cup in the same way that a Parduba is? They seem quite reasonably priced and offer small sizes but there are no pictures showing the inside of the cup.
