I know they have charts I mean I did just convert them and I guess its natural that there would be different systems but it's frustrating when people don't know what their talking about because they don't know the scales that's all I meant |

I'm going to join rank and say, "Back to the practice room!" If you want to spend $200 bucks I can think of a lot more fun ways than on a trumpet mouthpiece you've never tried. |
Actually, it does. In the Schilke/Yamaha naming system the second number designates the rim shape. The 4 in 13C4 means that the mouthpiece has a semi-flat rim contour.
The backbore size is designated by a lower case letter at the end like in 14A4a. The throat sizes are unspecified in the naming system but correspond to the cup depth. |

There is a cheaper (55$) mouthpiece with a big throat and a 3C cup : Kanstul CG3.
You can compare the Monette B6 and the CG3 on the Kanstul mouthpiece comparison chart quoted by lakejw.
It would be a cheap way to see if a mpc with a 22 throat (near Monette one) suit you.
The thinner rim give a great flexibility and is very comfortable, at least for me ...
