I have a CKB 1 1/2 C that came with my Vintage 1 Trumpet. I really like it. I love the nice rich tone I get, but if I need to brighten up my tone a bit I'll switch to my Schilke 15C4. The CKB is a great mouthpiece. That said, if I was buying a heavy mouthpiece (and didn't have monette mouthpiece budget) I would probably buy one of the Yamaha GP mouthpieces over the CKB or a Bach Megatone. I've always preferred the rim feel of Yamaha and Schilke mouthpieces over the Bachs (CKB rim feel is similar to the Bach line).
