Bach 2b & 3b

GetzenK700 · 02-08-2006, 07:02 PM

How much different are the 2b & 3b Mouthpeices from the 2 & 3c. Will they improve tone at all? Please reply.

Check out the Kanstul web site. They have a mouthpiece comparator which shows the cup outlines of two mouthpieces of your choice at once. One outline shows up in red, the other in green and you can move one over the other. Fun. You can superimpose them and compare cups and throats. The B's are generally deeper than the C's, so they should be darker.

FYI - The Bach "B cup mouthieces" have different rim shapes as well.
To me they feel rounder than those on the "C cup mouthpieces".
I think the new way to describe this is that the Bs have higher alpha angles.

The feel is much different on your face. I have owned a 3B and a 1 1/2B, and both of them surprised me in terms of the endurance problems they gave.

Mark Curry has a set of mouthpieces labeled "BC", with deep B cups and C rims that are flatter. I have two of these, and I like his hybrid. Mark can help you find the right rim for you - his regular numbers as well as some custom rims he's made for players. He's very helpful, having the skills of a great player and engineer.
