  • Great craftsmanship and customer service

    Ryon was able to walk me through the best way test mouthpieces and which top and shank would be the best for my playing.

  • Highly recommended

    These are among the highest quality brass instrument mouthpieces, lead pipes and trumpets available in the world. Peter is a wizard with mouthpiece rims, backbores and cups, and I loved working with Eric and Ryon and everyone else too.

  • Pickett is great

    Their selection was amazing. After I made my purchase, they kept me informed with detailed information. They were always available for any questions. The product arrived and I am delighted!

  • NAMM 2026 is a wrap!

    NAMM 2026 is a wrap!

    Anaheim, California was such a great escape from the cold and wintery weather of Kentucky last week!  But alas, Eric and I also made it home a day early to beat the snow and ice stranding us in California or Detroit.   NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) is an annual show that attracts people from all over the world.  We enjoy meeting new players, new dealers, and seeing a part of our industry we don't normally get to see - including percussion, guitars, and tons of recording gear.   We get to catch up with old and new friends, like Greg Rosander at Palen Music, John Hagstrom, Greg Black, Meil Adams, and many more! Already looking forward to next year!
