Well I got my Curry 8.5B today. I tried a few scales with it and it sounded great. It's rim is a little more rounded than my old Bach 10.5C but comfort-wise I'd say they are similar. I have band rehearsals tonight so I am not going to play with it now. I don't want to mess up my chops. Tomorrow morning I'll use it during my practice session and see how it goes. For me it usually takes 3 or 4 days, sometimes less, to adjust to a different rim. But the deeper B cup sounds great so it will be worth the effort.

Its rim is rounded because it is a B cup rim. I like the sound of the B cup but I don't like the rim. I play the BC because of that. Have fun with the new mouthpiece. Please give us an update after a week or so.

Huh?
I thought Curry kept the same rim across all cups with the same rim designation...
Maybe the B cups having significantly more chop-space at the top of the cup than the BC cups means you perceive the rims different?
Or does the rim actually change with the cup on the 8.5 series? |

Yeah, will do.
I used it for a 90 minute workout this morning. My range isn't much better than an E above high C, but I make sure I play up to that several times during my daily practice sessions and I had no trouble getting there with the 8.5B. If things continue to go well I will get the C cup and the BC cup as well in the Curry 8.5 series.

Like GR and some others, Curry does not change the rim within the given diameter.
There really is a Bach 8 1/2 size in their catalogue. Whether Curry uses that style rim would be a question for him to answer.

The rim diameters are consistent within each size. The rim shape changes depending on the letter. B cups are more rounded and the entrance to the cup has a higher alpha angle. I like a low alpha so I like the BC better as it has the standard Curry C rim. The BC has more chop space as you call it than the B due to the BC's steeper angle and entrance.

I think I'm a bit late to the conversation, but I just played a Patrick CR 10.5C and love it!
Here is what Steve Patrick states:
This mouthpiece is modeled after one of the first Bach New York 10 1/2 C's ever made. (It was made sometime in the late 1920's!) The hole size is a 27, and the back-bore is slightly brighter than the 1 1/2, 3, and 5. It is extremely comfortable and does not feel very small. It makes a wonderful all around mouthpiece and also a great piccolo or Eb trumpet mouthpiece. It also lends itself for those switching back and forth from a smaller commercial mouthpiece.
Band directors - I HIGHLY recommend starting your young players on this mouthpiece. Because of the size and shape, it will help them to get a good sound right away and to not develop any bad habits from straining on a mouthpiece that is too big.
