| I have played one. Very interesting pieces. It has a shallow cup, and then a small cup going into the backbore (hence the name "double cup"). The idea, of course, it to give a player the advantages of a shallow mouthpiece (range & endurance) without the problems (tone and low notes).
I never could get used to it. I sounded fine on it -- it just seemed too different to me. But there are those who love them. I think if you want to scream and then play in the staff within moments of each other, this mouthpiece is worth a try. Never being a screamer, I didn't fit the MO.
