hey all,
i am new to the forum and am very excited to be apart of this great site...
so i am a student-mostly orchestral player with some experience (from what I hear, a very high level for my age). I was reading up on new mouthpieces and am very interested in the bach screw rims. I currently play the yamaha 16C4-GP and like it but I feel that it is a little small now for my lips. I was wanting to piece together a 1X screw on rim with a 1 1/2B underpart (good idea or is a 1B better) with a schmidt style backbore (what number is this?), and a pretty open throat. I am not the biggest of guys yet and still have some growth in me. What size throat is a good idea (only 15 yrs old 5'9.5ish)? Thanks everyone!

PS I know it might sound crazy that I am wanting to go larger given my age and size, but I feel like it is worth a try...
PPS Let me know if you need any more info to decide whether I am about to kill myself or if it is a good/safe idea...
