A Tradition Reborn

Domenick Calicchio may best be remembered as a master craftsman and instrument maker, but did you know that he also made fine custom mouthpieces? Dominick used traditional tooling and methods, and did not keep many notes or diagrams of these unique pieces, but he crafted fabulous custom mouthpieces - by hand- for his friends and for the best players of the day. The new Calicchio mouthpieces are made from new tooling developed from Domenick’s original drawings, in a modern manufacturing environment.

The J-64 is one of Domenick’s original designs for a Jazz mouthpiece, circa 1950’s-60’s. Made with a very unique backbore, and his signature flat rim

• Domenick’s favorite flat rim - in his words, “semi flat, semi round”

• Cup I.D. - 0.640”, like your favorite 5C

• Throat - #27

• Calicchio’s No. #3 backbore

These mouthpieces are finely machined and the finishing work is superb. The packaging tube is environmentally responsible. With your purchase, you will have bragging rights that you are directly supporting the effort to not only save Calicchio Musical Instruments, but also to highlight the contributions Domenick Calicchio made to the industry.
