Ponzol

Peter Ponzol. New in Production!

I am turning over the day to day business operations of Ponzol products to Dave and Terasa Hoskins of The Morgan Mouthpiece Company. Dave and Teresa are a longtime dealer of my products, and understand very well all the different models. They have excellent technicians with many years of experience in mouthpiece making. The same craftsmen who have been making my mouthpieces for years will continue making them and once again all models will be available, stainless steel, aluminum, Delrin and hard rubber. The same hand work and testing that I have done will be carried on in the new facility. While I am doing a partial retirement, I will still be involved in quality control and the development of new models. This opportunity allows all Ponzol products to continue and gives me the freedom to do more playing and teaching.

The career of Peter Ponzol includes over 30 years as an internationally known jazz and studio player. As a player, Peter has performed in most countries around the world, and has received not only a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Performance grant, but was also invited to Germany by the prestigious German Academic Exchange Service. He has given clinics and workshops worldwide and has taught in several universities.

The design philosophy of Ponzol products is based on Peter’s experience and needs as a player. Peter believes that it is impossible to make and design mouthpieces, reeds and necks unless you are an experienced active contemporary player.
