Morris,

I am guessing that buying a new mouthpiece, just not a custom, is a possibility for you. If that's true you might look at the Curry VC series or some of the Marcinkiewicz mouthpieces. I play my '55 Conn 80A with a curry 5VC and a Marcinkiewicz 5XW. Both are short shank and do very well in that horn. They give it a nice, cornet sound rather than a more trumpet-like sound.

I think the other Curry cornet 'pieces like the DC also have a shorter shank.

Good luck!

Bill
