 |

Hello Trumpet World
Can anyone tell me which Parke rim is most similar to a Laskey 75?
Thanks for your help!
Dave

If you're dealing with Parke and already like your Laskey 75 rims... do you have a spare you could have "cut" into a rim for Parke cups/underparts?
I don't know what the best equivalent is, just thought I'd throw that thought out there (although it may well have occurred to you already). |

| TKSop, great suggestion. If you do have an extra Laskey 75, have the rim cut off and order/find a used Parke bottom help you give it a try. Parke mouthpieces are great if you like them...but they are pricey. My setup is a 3 piece, and each piece cost $100 each. |

Id say the 645 diameter. The regular Parke rim is a bit flatter and sharper than the Laskey though. The 650 feels larger...more like the Laskey 80.
Laskey says his 70C is closest to a 1.5C. The 650 and 80 are 1.25 diameters.
The Laskey 75 and 645 are kinda in between sizes. I love both the Laskey 75 and Parke 645 |

I think you're spot on!
According to Matt Frost's measurements here, the Laskey 75MD does indeed come in at .645 at the juncture.
