| May I suggest Trent Austin's MV line of mouthpieces? I have an ACB MV3L which is closer to a Bach Mount Vernon 3D. The width is the same as a 3C, while being slightly shallower and his mouthpieces also have a very cushiony rim which is a plus as well. |

My vote would be for the Karl Hammond Design 5MV. I found it has an enormous range of tone colors, and the shape of the cup and throat really help support the upper register without ever feeling like a "lead piece". If you don't get along with V cups, then his Mb cup is more bowl-shaped.

that sounds right up my alley in what i was looking for, Ive been using a bach 3c for a good few years and the problem I had with it was on shallower stuff I had a pretty decent range for a HS player and my tone was what i wanted but with the 3c the resonance just felt dead. My teacher wouldnt let me switch to anything but bach since he was a loyalist i guess but i dropped him for someone else and im looking for new options. Thanks for the suggestion. |
If you don't mind the drive to Chicago (south side, closer to Fort Wayne) I have a Horn Trader 3CS-27 you could try out and buy if you found you liked it.
Best wishes,

As a 3c player myself, I like the Marcinkiewicz E3/3C and Warburton 4M for a shallower 3c-size mouthpiece.
For piccolo I prefer to use a smaller diameter, shallow piece. I like the Schilke 11A better than anything else I’ve tried.

Sounds like a plan! I also have a ton (well, maybe not quite a ton) of other mouthpieces similar in size to the 3C including almost all the Reeves 43 sized cups (I have the 43B, 43V, 43C, 43M and 43S) and a bunch of the 42 sized Reeves mouthpieces as well. I also have a copy of Arturo Sandoval's Mt Vernon 3C and several custom mouthpieces that combine (exact) copies of Arturo's rim with progressively shallower cups (and deeper ones as well). One is a Bach 1-1/2C underpart mated to the Arturo Sandoval MV3C rim copy and one is a Bach 3B underpart mated to the Arturo Sandoval MV3C rim copy. And also a bunch of James New's mouthpieces in the 5 (MV3C) size and the 4 (Elkhart 3C) sized rims with various cup depths and the Yamaha Bobby Shew Jazz and Lead pieces. Practically a mouthpiece emporium!  |
