Fine mouthpieces custom crafted by Karl Hammond. Karl studied trumpet with Dr. William Dejong and performed with the Wind Ensemble and Jazz Studio Orchestra under the direction of the late Dale Hopper.
In the summer of 1991, Karl interned with Warburton Music Products in Orlando, FL. Terry Warburton and Ken Titmus were instrumental in Karl’s education and training of machining, customizing, and fitting of brass instrument mouthpieces. While at Warburton, Karl had the privilege of being involved in the initial development of the Series 80 backbore and the anchor grip rim. “I hold a great deal of respect and admiration for Terry and Ken.”
