Abstract
Apparatus for safely extracting a mouthpiece which has become jammed or locked into the tubular stem of a musical instrument comprises an adjustable, coaxially aligned assembly including a mouthpiece-engaging slotted ring member externally threaded for engagement with the internally threaded portion of a slotted support collar to which is adjustably coupled a clamping means having a central opening for abutting an enlargement on the tubular stem of the instrument wherein upon rotation of the ring member within the support collar in one direction, the length of the apparatus is increased causing a thrust on the mouthpiece away from the tubular extension of the instrument to free the mouthpiece therefrom.
