Bach commercial mouthpiece update

[unclewawa]

Just played on the Bach Commercial mpc - 7S.
I had previously tried both the 5S & the 5MV. The results with those as well were less than astonishing. Also, they felt very wide for the size. So I tried a size smaller - the 7S.
This does not work for me, either. Why?
1) The rim is too thin - it feels like a French horn mpc rim.
2) The cup is too shallow. Quite frankly, it closely resembles a Schilke 13A.
3) Subsequently, I lose my top notes and struggle for my medium-top notes, as well.
4) Accuracy (for me) is non-existant. I can't find the slots.

Since playing it results in my taking a major step backwards, it will be returned.
My past experience has shown me that a mpc which results in an improvement in my playing is immediately noticeable.
OTOH, having to work for weeks or months to get back where I already was makes no sense. The mpcs that I have played on for longer periods of time always "popped" when I first played on them. In other words, they immediately demonstrated an improvement over what I had been playing on. As a player who has to be on top of his game in a variety of settings each day, I cannot and have no need to take a step (or two) back from my current level of playing.
This line of mpcs does not work for me. I'm done.............
