Want to try an ACB mouthpiece but don't want to wait the time for plating?
Are you on a budget and want to try something that won't break the budget?
Do you have ideas for a custom piece but want to try a quick test piece before committing to the custom charge of a silver or gold mouthpiece?
We have been working hard these past few months to allow our customers a way to try some of our offerings this way via our new rapid, resin prototyping. The newest commercial-grade printers we have are remarkably consistent, fast, and repeatable (after the tireless work of dialing in the settings).
We have a dropdown menu for the following options:
1. Top (Warburton threading which is pretty much the universal setup for most of makers): With a metal backbore the sonic results are extremely close to an acrylic or metal top. We recommend a slightly heavier backbore to best offset the weight differential. Best yet is combine them with the KGU sleeve for maximum acoustic similarity.
2. A one-piece setup: This way is nice to try different backbore combinations with some of our stock tops. We have all of our standard backbores in stock as well as many others from other makers. Just mark in the order comments what you may want to try (we will most likely put our stock setups in if you don't reach out).
These pieces are not designed for lifetime usage, hence the bargain prototype pricing. I have been using these tops for a few months now with great success.
Custom mouthpiece consultations are available and custom prototyping options are also available. Email us for specifics (note: this will be a premium service and not priced the same as these tops/1-piece options).
This is a final sale item only.

ACB Prototyping
Trent was wonderful from start to finish. I had an idea for a mouthpiece and Trent made it happen. The initial prototype was created and shipped next day. These prototypes are very well made and hold up well for testing purposes. When I was ready for the final piece to be made, the process was simple and straight forward. I can't recommend ACB mouthpieces enough and this Rapid Protoyping is an amazing way to realize your ideas with the support of the wonderful ACB Team.

ACB Rapid Prototype Mouthpiece
Contacted Trent with the piece I wanted which wasn’t listed in the options. Same day reply and no issues with printing the flugel prototype I wanted. Shipped the next day after finalized details. Plays beautifully and the material used gives a full and resonant sound. This is a game changer for those looking to “try before you buy” without breaking the bank. Can’t recommend Trent and his team enough.
