Rhodium Mouthpiece Plating - An Alternative to Silver or Gold? - First Impressions

always exited to see that the development of instruments hasn't stopped even if it's the smallest changes and are experimental.

Great video. Sorry for responding on an "older" video, but I just came across this during a mouthpiece materials search. (Hope you get to see this comment) I have a Minick trombone mouthpiece that I had plated in Rhodium about 25 yrs ago and then replated a few years back. Was my main piece 25 years ago for a while. Loved the feel. Always comfortable and seemed to help with fatigue. I'm not sure if the science would confirm, but it always seemed like the Rh was more tolerant to temperature changes. Not as drastic as plastic/lexan/acrylic etc, but very comfortable. Cheers, Michael (recently moved to Rock Hill)

nice presentation. I learned a lot. thank you for this video. 🤝

Thanks for another interesting video, Jon. I look forward to them every Tuesday. Don't know if you take requests, but I'd be interested in hearing your opinions on high register playing and practice techniques. There are plenty of videos from "screamers" on YouTube, but you don't see many well-rounded, classically oriented players discussing it. I think it would be interesting to hear something on the subject from a player like yourself who has excellent fundamentals and mastery of the instrument, but whose job demands probably don't call for many paint peeling double high Cs :). Thanks!

I bought a wooden mouthpiece from Rieger und Gräf, very interesting. I like it a lot. More than the derlin one I have. I wouldn't make it my main mouthpiece but it's pretty cool. Very different feeling, specially the weight of it. I thought it was going to detract from projection and core but it's not bad at all. Anyways. Thanks for the video, love your channel. Thanks

He really does upload every Tuesday

You should check out AR mouthpieces... they have a ton of options with mouthpiece material.

I really would like to hear you hear you the way that you sound on your rhodium mouthpiece

Would a full rhodium plated trumpet sound much different than gold, silver, or brass?

What are your thoughts on stainless steel mouthpiece?

What brand and size mouthpiece did Louis Armstrong use?

You are a cool dude

I'm curious how the Rhodium is working for you long term. Are you still using it?

I love slippery gold but most of my mouthpieces are silver. Interesting though.

Don’t want to toot my own horn but Idk just wanted to comment on this
