"In over 50 years as a performer and teacher of the trumpet, I have had abundant opportunities for testing the various principles of mouthpiece design. Now, as a result of this knowledge, I have developed my own line of trumpet and piccolo trumpet mouthpieces. Each element of these pieces has been blended together to give the most consistent results in quality of sound, attack, endurance an overall playability. I have been fortunate in having the finest quality in craftsmanship and the artistic integrity of John Stork to put a lifetime's work into effect."
