I asked our Solo Horn Player.  She uses a re-manufactured mouthpiece
with a plastic rim attached.  She said:...

"Plasic-rimmed mouthpiece bought in April 98 for approx 50.00.

Contacted a David Woodhead who works at :-

Phil Parker Ltd
106A Crawford Street
LONDON  WIH 1AL

Telephone No 10714 - 868206 <ed- I think the number is not quite
right>

Was considering giving up playing due to the discomfort etc caused by
the nickle <sic> in the mouthpiece.  David Woodhead said that I could
either
have the mouthpiece re-coated with a thick layer of gold or have a
plastic rim fitted.
As gold eventually wears thin in time I decided the only permanant
cure
was to go for plastic.
I have had no problems at all since the rim was replaced. If  I'd have
known about the procedure I would have had it done years ago.

I would definately recommend anyone with this problem to speak to
David
with a view to going plastic."

So thats one user's view.
