I had a really WOW gig tonight 3 piece rhythm plus myself. My chops have never felt this amazing. I was able to play all night, regularly going to high D and E, without feeling any strain or tiredness. After I finished the gig my chops felt as fresh as when I started: no pinching, no strain, no pain. Ive never come out of a gig feeling so fresh. And with this relaxed feeling in my chops I was able to concentrate on the music. So, my improvement was the best ever. I received excellent comments from some very fine pros that were there. My flugelhorn sound was buttery smooth and my trumpet was brilliant and cutting like a knife. Intonation was so spot on that the pros said it sounded like the band was playing one instrument. Im on my way! Molto, molto thanks to Jerry, as always. Kyle Schmeer |

I received the flugel mouthpiece today. I played it for about 45 minutes. (Couldn't put it down.) I love it. It's got so much centered, it seems to play like a trumpet mouthpiece. My other flugel mouthpieces seem to swim all over the place and tire me out. I'm really happy with it. Nice work (again!). Rob Fisch |

Hi Mr. Callet, I am in Calgary, Canada now - working hard to make enough money to study with you again. Do you have some new diagrams? I will be happy to see some because I am having some trouble. I am spitting and trying to tongue stop but I cant get enough contact between the tongue and the lips. Hope you are doing well. Alex Bernstein, Israel I will send you the latest diagram. Let me know your mailing address. J.C. |

I started using your method 19 months ago and purchased one of your mouthpieces which I have been using for about 14 months. The playing comfort is better than any mouthpiece I have ever used. The range continues to climb ever so slowly with much less effort using you technique. I would like to purchase a second mouthpiece as a back up. I play a silver Reeves Raptor (recommended by Jim Manley) that has gold trim. Do you gold plate your mouthpieces and/or would recommend it? Rene' Brunel Your mouthpiece must be Superchops1 model. We released Superchops2 model this April. It has more comfortable rim and more air efficiency. Please visit our website and call me for more information. We do not do gold plate and I personally like silver plated. J.C.  Trumpet flowers |
