Thanks for the advice guys, I certainly would like to try out some Curry mouthpieces: the idea of keeping the same sized rim but varying the cup is exactly what I am looking for!

Unfortunately, I don't really frequent any music store, and the ones near to me don't stock a large variety of mouthpieces...

On a side note, what shape cup should I be looking for? Would a shallow be too small for me having spent so much time on the deep 1 1/4C? I am worried that my lips would swell into the cup after a short while - would a medium-shallow be better?

Thanks, Chris.
