About Us

The Marcinkiewicz Co. Inc. Philosophy
Our goal is to offer players the best quality available at each and every stage of their growth; first as a student, and later as a professional musician. We offer the best selection of precision brasswind mouthpieces as well as hand crafted instruments.

Instruments
Marcinkiewicz instruments are made for brass musicians seeking the finest equipment available. Superior intonation, response, and flexibility are not just words; these are characteristics that separate Marcinkiewicz instruments from any other you may have played in the past.
“From the first moment you play one of my instruments, you will know you have found something very special.”
Joe Marcinkiewicz

Our instruments are the result of combining state of the art CNC (Computer Numeric Control) technology with old world craftsmanship. Modern CNC machining equipment allows us to create the most precise valves and pistons possible. We continue the old-world tradition of making one piece bells from flat brass. This time consuming process, from hand forming the material into a three dimensional shape to the final spinning, is the only way to produce a responsive bell without compromise.
“There are no shortcuts to quality.” -JM.

We go to great lengths to ensure the quality of every instrument we make. Our state of the art facility in Canby, Oregon allows us to make all our parts in house. Also by incorporating our in-house plating facility, we can maintain the highest standards from start to finish.

Mouthpieces
Because the facial structure of young students change as they mature, our line of mouthpieces is carefully graduated, allowing students to progress more quickly (and enthusiastically!) as they find the correct "fit" for their changing anatomy. Now players have the means to progress in logical, gradual increments to find the correct mouthpiece for their unique needs.

In order to offer the highest quality product available for both students and professionals alike, we have integrated the most sophisticated computer technology with “old-world” craftsmanship. There is no difference in quality between our student and professional mouthpieces. Our state of the art computerized cutting lathes assure that the quality of design as well as the precise reproduction of every Marcinkiewicz mouthpiece is exact. This is truly a first. We measure our mouthpieces precisely to the thousandths of an inch. We do not use approximations or fractions, but precise figures.
“ Our commitment is to quality and consistency – guaranteed every time.” –J.M.
