The Jet Tone Urbie Green Mouthpiece

To the right is an advertisement from the original Jet Tone company for the Urbie Green model mouthpiece. Click the thumbnail or the following link for a larger view (37k).

Until the development of the Jet Tone Urbie Green Model (shown below, right), Urbie used a stock King 28 mouthpiece (below, left).

Below are the specifications of the current Jet Tone UG model mouthpieces sold by the Woodwind and Brasswind Company. The information below was taken from the Jet Tone web site. More information will come when I have access to it.
