Suggested Retail Price: [55,000] "W. Chr. Schmidt" is a long-established mouthpiece maker that meticulously crafts each mouthpiece using traditional casting methods, paying close attention to the metal used. Its rich, elegant, and brilliant sound will captivate you. While standard mouthpieces are typically made by cutting from a solid piece of metal, W. Chr. Schmidt casts the metal in-house, pouring it into molds for each individual mouthpiece before finishing. Please experience the elegant, full-bodied resonance and the clear, brilliant tone.
