[Image: Leslie Craven Model mouthpiece]The Leslie Craven Model Mouthpiece

Leslie has been working with the world's leading custom mouthpiece manufacturers for many years and finally, in collaboration with Bradford Behn he has developed a mouthpiece reproducing Leslie's ideal facing, rail width, curve and table combined with the optimum tone chamber for most kinds of playing. 30 years of Leslie's work on mouthpieces combined with Bradford Behn's expertise and an enormous investment in time money and energy have culminated in this, the most user-friendly mouthpiece on the market in Leslie's opinion.

This model is now available, exclusively, from Leslie. Read about the mouthpiece, including pricing and ordering details here.
