Wiss mouthpieces?

Hey all,
Has anybody here played on any of Jerome Wiss' euphonium (or trombone) mouthpieces? Any idea of the playing characteristics, feel, or weight? Comparisons to bigger makers?
Thanks!

I have Jerome's ophicleide mouthpiece. I don't know how much it has in common with his euphonium and trombone mouthpieces. It's beautifully made and is medium heavy with a fairly thin flat rim. I visited Jerome in Paris several years ago and I was extremely impressed by his instruments and his approach to design.

I have two of them. They lean on the bright side (in a good way) the rim is a touch wider and semi flat with a well defined inner bite and I'd say the trombone is a medium cup depth with the euphonium a bit deeper and not a full V cup but in between a V and a bowl. They look great and the plating is top notch.
