Jason Carder Custom Mouthpiece Calicchio Artist Series - EXCLUSIVE

Description: Dominick Calicchio may best be remembered as a master craftsman and instrument maker, but did you know that he also made fine custom mouthpieces? Dominick used traditional tooling and methods, and did not keep notes or drawings of these unique pieces, but he crafted fabulous custom mouthpieces - by hand- for the best players of the day. A few years ago, Calicchio’s owner master craftsman John Duda sought to recreate some of these famous one-of-a-kind mouthpieces as the Calicchio Artist Series, and collect others to be included in the collection. Trusted agents helped track down the owners and asked if they would consider allowing replicas of these hand made custom mouthpieces to be made. It was decided that the task of recreating these 'Holy Grail' mouthpieces should only be entrusted to the experts at Kanstul Musical Instruments, the pioneer and industry leader in single point mouthpiece scanning and accurate duplication at the time. Zig Kanstul welcomed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to honor this part of Dominick Calicchio’s legacy and he appointed his master craftsman (who at one time had worked for Dominick himself) to do the work. These rare mouthpieces were collected and scanned over a period of weeks, and the originals quickly and safely returned to their owners. But John's health began to decline and for a time the entire industry was facing the challenges of a major recession. Later, Zig Kanstul passed, and the factory he founded shuttered. John Duda himself passed away recently, and it seemed the Calicchio Artist Series mouthpieces might never see the light of day after all...until now! This Calicchio Artist Series model was a custom mouthpiece made for trumpet artist and educator Jason Carder. Jason toured extensively with such headliners as Yanni, Arturo Sandoval, Maria Schneider, Ray Charles, Woody Herman, Maynard Ferguson, Paul Anka and the Jaco Pastorius Big Band. Jason is currently at the University of Arizona, where he is teaching our next generation of young guns. This mouthpiece was approved by Jason to be included in the Calicchio Artist Series. The CARDER 1 mouthpiece is similar to the popular 6A4A, but with a slightly larger throat. This is a very playable mouthpiece and would be a great lead piece. Big sound and sizzle! 0.630" Inner Rim Diameter # 26 Throat Stamped D CALICCHIO CARDER Contemporary Calicchio Contour The Artist Series mouthpieces are rare: only one or two duplicates of each were made for reference. The mouthpiece in this listing is one of those reference mouthpieces. This is an exclusive listing, as this mouthpiece is available nowhere else! With your purchase, you will have bragging rights that you are directly supporting the effort to not only save Calicchio Musical Instruments, but also to highlight the contributions Dominick Calicchio and John Duda made to the industry. Kanstul Musical Instruments was a pioneer in single-point scanning and mouthpiece duplication. Before the factory was shuttered, players from around the world trusted Kanstul for their accuracy in duplicating the most valuable and unique mouthpieces, as well as extremely consistent production mouthpieces. It can be argued that Zig Kanstul’s master craftsman helped educate the current generation of mouthpiece makers, and he continues to serve as a resource and consultant to the industry to this day.
