You might consider a cut-out instead. They're a bit more versatile since you can see your embouchure and it still can go into the lead pipe. Real nice to make sure your buzz is strong. Just take an old mouthpiece, fill the shank with something so air can't get through, then take a hacksaw to the cup beneath the rim and cut out most of the cup. There should end up being the shank connected to the rim by a slender section of the cup. I swear by mine but I also bled a lot in the making. Sorry if the description sucks, I'm sure someone has a photo or better description if you're interested. cw
