Mouthpiece looks like it may be a doug elliot. They are 3 piece screw-together mouthpieces that have a unplated brass shank and silver plated cup like that. You can mix and match to get what you like. I have several and I love them - I use them mainly so I can play on the same rim when I switch back and forth between big and small horns - makes a huge difference in making them feel more the same. No longer takes 5 minutes to get adjusted to the new horn when you switch.
@darylnagode I personally use the lexan rims because I have problems with my skin getting irritated, and it seems to help. Also it makes the mouth piece warm all the time - makes it less shocking and I swear I warm up quicker.
fred is my favorite horn player, he makes me feel the funk more than maceo, a hell of alot more than maceo, I prefer listening to him over other horn players in other genres of music, he has so much fucking soul
id seen fred a few times at the eastman school of music but had no idea who he was until my teacher pointed it out to me. man, i felt like a retard after that.
Go Head Fred !!!!

Hey RyanV12191, I agree with you.I wish I kept playing too,I think Fred is really underrated.He could run rings around Jimmy Pankow
