Titanovation

Anyone know anything about this brand?

Anywhere I can find info on specs?

Thanks!

They ceased trading some years ago.

I still have my 52BCF which was based on my Elliot LT99/C/C3

Good to know.

I got one through a trade and mine is marked "59C" if anyone has info on that size.

Wasn't it spelled slightly differently?
Were/are these titanium mouthpieces (hence the Ti)?

I found some old posts from Trombone-L in my email archive. (I did not write these.)

I believe a number of years
ago there was a company called 'Titanovation' or similar, but they
encountered legal troubles regarding their name and shut down.

I believe that the way they operated was that you sent your mouthpiece to
them and they scanned it and replicated it extremely accurately in
titanium.

My understanding (and it may be completely wrong) is that this was
operated as essentially an after-hours thing using a tool shop that
makes surgical implants (replacement knees and hips, etc.) And that the
company got tire of the wear and tear on their tooling.

So is mine essentially a custom piece?

Apparently a custom reproduction in Titanium from a scan of a (commercially?) available mouthpiece.

Does it resemble, perhaps a Schilke 59 or a Yamaha 59L?

They had a regular line of mouthpieces. 59 would be 25.9 mm diameter. I do not remember how the cup depth went, but I think it was A (shallow) to D or E (deepest). Not 100% on that part.

I had a number of them, especially when they were going out of business and clearing out inventory in the early to mid-200s. No, I no longer have any of them.

Good to know. I’m still debating if I like it or not…
For those that are curious, here is a picture of it.
