[/quote]I guess since one of our necromancers summoned this thread from the dead, I'll comment on this.
The regular Schilke 15 (no letter) is, for me, a great all-around mouthpiece. I agree with Al the middle-of-the-road Schilkes like the 15 or the 15B are great all-around mouthpieces.
The reason I love the Schilke 15 (no letter) so much is because it FEELS comfortable (has the "free-blowing" feeling to me, so the mouthpiece isn't "resisting" my airflow) and the rim is amazingly comfy. PLUS, the Schilke 15's rim is like a Bach 1.5 in size, but the cup depth is medium-deep instead of deep. This means a player won't have an unusually dark timbre because the cup of the Schilke 15 is decently deep, but it isn't a freaking bathtub for orchestra-only stuff.[/quote]
Not wishing to Hijack this although, as you say it is an old thread...How do you rate the Schilke 16C4 in comparison to the 15? I have recently bought a Schilke 17 which has a great sound but I cant get past high C (so yes, a bathtub). I think the 15 and 16C4 have similar diameters but the 16C4 a slightly flatter rim. I'm now wondering if I should try the 15 as its says it is free blowing and is only slightly bigger than my Yamaha16C4 which is what I'm trying to improve on.
Cheers

I had the same problem OP. Find a good old 7c its deeper than the 3c and only negligibly smaller. |
