Yep, we went there.  Drilled a SECOND hole in a mouthpiece. 

We like to tinker.  Try off-the-wall stuff to see what happens.  Most things never see the light of day.  But we got the prototype for this and it was unREAL!  Scientific theory in 3...2...1...

We've always wondered what it is that causes a mouthpiece to change the way you play based on the direction it's turned in the receiver (clocking).  Obviously there must be some small irregularity in the mouthpiece that allows you to do that.  We thought about ways to exacerbate this effect, so that you could get different qualities as you turned it.

So we drilled a hole in the side of the cup.

We got the prototype, popped it in, and it played like hell, as we fully expected a mouthpiece with two holes in it to do.  Then we started clocking it, and when it goes in the right spot it's the most massive sweet spot of anything we've ever played.  It's an experience you will not soon forget.  

So we brought it to the Midwest Convention.  People started playing it and freaking out a little bit because it was a totally new experience.  And one after another, they sounded bad, bad, bad, then suddenly out of nowhere it lit up and they sounded amazing.  Everybody has a different sweet spot depending on how they play.  

This mouthpiece has the exact same specs as our Lube Master One:

"This is our orchestral mouthpiece. Anybody who plays anything between a 1C and 1.25C, or even 1.5C will love this mouthpiece. It is efficient and plays with a huge sound, but without feeling like a lot of work. We have blind-tested this mouthpiece against the very best Mt. Vernon 1Cs and 1.25Cs, and it wins hands down every time. If you're looking for a "holy grail" Mt. Vernon 1C that simply works...this is it.

The Lube Master One owes its genius to lead designer Gino Villarreal (United States Coast Guard Band, Waterbury Symphony Orchestra, ECSO, New England freelancer). Gino is the biggest trumpet equipment nerd we know, and his knowledge about these matters is encyclopedic. A cumulative lifetime of tweaking is behind the expertise he brings to the table. 

10% of the profits from the Lube Master One will be donated to The Ryan Anthony Foundation, the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was created in 2014 to manage and support Cancer Blows events. The foundation strives to keep expenses to a minimum and is managed by a talented team of volunteers so that the majority of money given is used for its true purpose – to improve cancer treatment outcomes and ultimately find a cure."
