I've experimented with a variety of mouthpieces from wax to rubber, as
well as such things as the tops of Gaterade bottles. At the moment I
still favour the nested PVC reducers sawed off to a length of one inch.
I had to sand off the raised lettering and the sharp corners. This
mouthpiece stands up to more wear and tear than wax and doesn't change
shape when it warms up. It won't leave your lips sticky. I thought it would be
hard on the lips, but actually it forces me to use a lighter seal which
improves the sound.
The
mouthpiece I prefer is made from
three nested PVC reducers which can be purchased at most hardware,
plumbing or building supply stores. The size depends on the diameter of pipe you are using. It should fit the pipe tightly enough to not fall out.
