Laskey (Eastman) Machine marks in cup

Post by Hirsbrunner188 »

I purchased a 30H and 30G mouthpiece from a European dealer in Italy.
Both great!
Both have a remarkable lot of machine marks in the cup. Is this standard at a Laskey Tuba mouthpiece?

I wonder if it has the same effect on sound as the brief Miller Vortex bottle had on beer :huh: :huh: :huh:

On a more serious note, if you can't feel any funny business on your lip, then I wouldn't worry too much about it

Definitely not the norm even on the "demo set" models we have. Would you mind snapping a picture and sending it to me? Also, look between the bands on the outside of the mouthpiece (where the engraving is) and see if there's an X or > stamped.

I consumed one of those bad boys once. The vortex effect feels quite alarming later on when you "pay the rent". Just sayin'…

:laugh:

These came out while I was in kollij, so I know the feeling all too well. I was a bigger fan of the "smooth pour" pop out tab they put on cans for a while though. I think those poured into your face hole more efficiently
