Hi Toots/Guys

I am playing a Martin Committee T3467, and a couple of Bach's (1c, 3c). I have on order a Holton Heim #2 mouthpiece and am very excited about this

I want this piece because I hear it has a very lyrical quality to it and the upper register is very easy, plus this is the baby that Miles played. Here's my question...this is what they say about the size of the #2 on thier site, and nothing more regarding what it is equivilent to.

Cup Depth medium-deep
Rim Shape medium-wide
Inside Cup Diameter 15.85mm
Outside Cup Diameter 26.49mm
Throat Diameter 3.96mm
Characteristics For trumpet only. Has a very lyrical sound quality. The response is very even and smooth when playing in a two-octave scale.

Site www.wwbw.com

Do you know what this mm size would be eqivilent to Toots? 1c? 3c? 5c?

Thanks
