    Michael Billerbeck replied to a topic in the forum Mouthpieces:
    Oops, I just found the pictures of the mouthpieces in HSM Masterpieces's Album: HSM Mouthpieces - Soprillo. Very good. So the octave key comes with the mouthpiece. This seems to make the mouthpiece manufacturing more complex I think.

    Sorry, I do not own a soprillo, so I cannot contribute to the question.
    I was just wandering if there were other manufacturers having a different solution here.
    My first thought was that the moisture could somehow be related to this technique. This technique is really quite interesting and it cannot be seen on most of the pictures. I also wonder if someone can make a demonstration clip on how the coupling works. Since it seems to extend into the mouthpiece under the ligature it doesn't seem to open wide.
    Maybe there is a chance to ask Benedikt Eppelsheim next time at the Musikmesse Frankfurt end of March in 2012...  less

    Melvin.
    Are you referring to the ones manufactured by Benedikt Eppelsheim Blasinstrumente in Munich?
    I am asking because for that one the octave key is extended into the mouthpiece as you can see in the picture below:
