[Trombone-l] Bach 42 mouthpiece receivers

[David Oliver]

I'm another re-tread too. I started playing again after 17 years, and have
been at it for over 9 years again. I'll be on this list for 10 years around
November, believe it or not. 
 
I don't think there is anything super wrong with using the tape if you need
to. I ran into Chris Smith (Christo) at the Evergreen Jazz Festival recently
and he did just that to least the little Lindberg MP to get it to fit into his
30's Conn 78H. That one is his back-up MP now.
