Faxx distributors in Germany? Aren't Faxx mouthpieces MADE in Germany?

Yes, but you can't just buy them directly from Lausmann (Faxx).

Hopefully some of our members in Germany can help.

I'm pretty sure the GEWA and Arnolds & Sons branded versions available from Thomann are exactly the same thing, made by Lausmann

[MStarke]

Yes, Thomann (and other places) is selling Gewa and Arnold and Sons. I would also expect they are made by LAusmann, but don't know for sure. what I know is that they are surprisingly good quality for the money.

I don't know any place that sells Faxx in Germany.

I bought a Faxx mpc the other day. The package says:

Product of AWM LLC
Elkhart Indiana IN USA

AWM looks like a distributor of various musical products, including Faxx mpcs. In its online catalogue it says:

Faxx mouthpieces are of the highest standard in quality and reliability and rival the famous maker brands. Precision made in Germany, these double-silver plated mouthpieces are manufactured on high quality CNC machinery to ensure consistency.

Anybody got any thoughts on the Faxx 1 and 1/2G?

I have one. I'm not sure if its just wrong for me, but it feels tiny. My tenor mouthpiece feels like it has more volume in it. Otherwise, it plays well.

I am going to get a Faxx 1 1/2G for a spare and to see if it differs from my 2001 Bach 1 1/2G. I will report back. It will be a few weeks possibly. The 1 1/2G is the only mouthpiece that i have ever use with a Duo-Gravis. I get good results with it. Someone handed me a Schilke 60 one time at a rehearsal. It was darker and felt like it took more air. I could make the Schilke 60 work but I didn’t run out and buy one.

I've had a few FAXX mouthpieces; in general, the workmanship is good and the plating is durable. I've spent some time on a FAXX 1½G (plugged into an Olds dependent double) was pretty happy with it. If I hadn't been able to find an original Olds "G", I'd probably still be using the FAXX.

Not too surprising. The Schilke 60 is a much larger mouthpiece than a Bach (or Faxx) 1½G.
Per specs (nominal dimensions):
Bach 1½G: Cup I.D. = 27.0mm; Throat = 7.04mm; Deep Cup
Schilke 58: Cup I.D. = ~27.2 - 27.6mm; Throat = 7.67mm: Deep Cup
Schilke 59: Cup I.D. = ~28.5mm; Throat = 7.67mm: Deeper Cup
Schilke 60: Cup I.D. = ~29.0mm; Throat = 7.67mm: Very Deep Cup

I have a Faxx 6 1/2 AL small shank. It's a good mouthpiece, but it's smaller than my Bach corp. 6 1/2 AL. And the rim is flatter than the Bach. It's more like my Yamaha 48. And it doesn't sound like a Bach. It sounds more like a Yamaha (IMHO).
