Both of those mouthpieces seem quite small for real legit work. So I agree, you may need to look. Cheap alternatives to try are Faxx mouthpieces and of course the Kelly mouthpieces. You could try a 3C or a 1 or 1 1/2 C.

If you need them right away, I have several very good used ones plus the Kelly line, Fokus line, and Rudy Muck line. I would be happy to send you a couple on approval to see if size is the thing. PM me if that would help.

I have never been too fond of Warburton mouthpieces. At one point I was "fitted" with a Warburton mouthpiece and I never really cared for it. I went back to using my Marcinkiewicz.

As for those mouthpieces being small, neither of those mouthpieces are small and in fact, I've been told by many that the Holbert piece is downright large for a lead piece. The 5C cup is great, but as I've said before, it's just a bit too narrow.

In the end, size really has little to do with it, just so long as you have a good sound for it.

I was thinking of trying a Stork Vacchiano mouthpiece. Any thoughts about those?
