These vintage JetTones are GREAT mouthpieces. And I mean VINTAGE. The new versions (after Jettone sold to another manufacturer) are not the same mouthpiece. I have the vintage Jettone Studio B (gifted to my by Maynard) and it plays amazingly well.
You can tell the original vintage Jettones over the new ones as the vintage have an italic script engraved into the rim as Jettone.

I might also note that Harrelson crafted for me his 5mm copy of the Jettone Studio B and it is a perfect copy (better than the new Jettone) AND with his 5mm interchangeable components I put on a larger backbore that allows the 5mm version to play more effortlessly over the original vintage Jettone. So I can play for hours now with that Jettone and not bottom out from fatigue.

Can Harrelson craft a copy of the original custom 1a? I would be interested. I play on a Jettone custom 2a now and like it alot. I like the idea of a interchangeable larger backbore for comfort. -

His email contact is harreslontrumpets@gmail.com.
He may well have a copy of the 1a. The interchangeable backbore is a real game changer.

Try Legends, too. They do excellent reproduction work.
