Conn Chief

Hi all,

I recently (yesterday!) acquired a Conn Chief mouthpiece in really good original condition. It was reportedly used in Sousa's band (according to the owner's widow). Does anyone else have one of these? I've spoken to Lee Stofer and he has one he restored, but he said that his and mine are the only ones he knows of other than possibly something in the Greenleaf collection or the Shrine to music museum.

It's a deep funnely type cup and a riot to play on my big horn, very velvety and smooth.

I know Dillon has a line based on the Chief, but does anyone else have an original?

Thanks,

LV
