Aaron Drake has developed an innovative manufacturing process where by each mouthpiece is created from a one piece casting. This amazing forging process is currently patent pending.
Each mouthpiece is finished with your choice of a Polished Silver finish or 24 karat gold plating.
Our goal in these designs has been to achieve a balance of the essential design elements. Each piece is precision hand faced and finished with great attention and care to detail. We are currently offering this model for tenor in a rollover baffle contour and a unique rollover step baffle. Each piece includes a rovner cap and ligature.
