Our Solo Horn player has a similar problem - allegy of the chops to
metal mouthpieces.  For her, the solution was to get her mouthpiece
"turned" down, screw threaded and then fitted with a plastic rim.  She
has the benefit of a metal cup and body, but mouth contact on a very
hard plastic rim (the full thickness of the metal rim it replaced).  I
dont recall where she had it done, but I could find out if anyone is
interested.  I think it is cheaper than a UKP71 wooden one though not
cheap - and you need a donor mouthpiece to start.

An Aussie chap also told me that you could get them powder coated
(plastic encapsulated) for ten cents (methinks he exaggerated a bit or
maybe thats just the impression he tried to give me) - I have no
experience of that.
