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? Domenick 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.

Calicchio’s updated version of a vintage 3C

• Domenick’s favorite “flat” rim - in his words, “semi flat, semi round” for comfort and clean articulation

• Inside diameter 0.660” bowl shaped cup

• Throat size # 27

• Calicchio’s No. #2 backbore - the “Mount Vernon”, as he called it

These mouthpieces are finely machined and the finishing work is superb. The packaging tube is environmentally responsible.
