Re: New Mouthpiece Recommendations

Hello Caseyjk. Check out the Stork mouthpiece site. Study their lip sizing types to mouthpiece size. This will get you in the right size ball park. If you are still in the Bach 7C size which is around 1600 MM to 16.20 MM. Try the Bach 7C or the Stork 5C. If you want a little deeper cup. That will be a Bach 7B. Stork 5B or a CG Personel from the Claude Gordan site. The CG Personel has a great feeling rim,but a deep V cup with a #22 Throat and Symphonic back bore. It is very open playing and darker. The others will be more centered playing with a overall great balance from bright to dark. All very good mouthpieces for a person like myself with thin upper and thin lower lip. Tried bigger ones up to #1 Bach size. All to hard to handle. And as said before,make sure you are practicing a lot with good practice lesson books. Good luck
