Looking for comments.

I have just started dabbling with this piece and find a lot to like: the comfy cushion rim feels especially nice for me. Using a little extra pressure doesn't bother me that much and it's good to know that it's there if I need it.

Is there a better Bach lead piece?

Two great Trumpet players I know both played that mouthpiece/size.
Conte Candoli and Tommy Porrello..one a great lead player (Porrello)the other a great jazz player who also played lead some..(Candoli)
Joe Triscari

Actually, Joe, your uncle (Ray Triscari) gave me one of his extra mouthpieces and it was very small. I was playing a Purviance 4*D4 at the time, and it was smaller than mine. I think a lot of players in that day played what would be called small today.

When I was coming up. I think the average sizes were between a Bach 7C and a 10 1/2 C.

OP
- if you want to wade through it, this has a lot of information: https://idoc.pub/documents/player-horn-combinations-on23e1j8j0l0

FYI, when I open that link, the "Preview" tab image only goes as far as Andrea Guiffredi, and when I click on the "Full Text" tab, all the 3-column formatting goes away (rendering the result virtually useless).

The link below is current (for now) and gives you the whole list in the useful 3-column "Player/Horn/Mouthpiece" format:

Hi kehaulani….
I played a Bach 10 1/2C in college and when I played in the Air Force Band
( When I sat in the jazz band and played lead on my audition at March AFB in 1982 when you were the Commander at March I was playing a 10.5 C.)
My uncle (Ray Triscari) and Pete Candoli had the two smallest mouthpieces in LA and they both got a big sound playing lead..I personally don’t believe everyone who plays a small mouthpiece sacrifices a big sound.. I’m sure a lot do but I think it’s individual… I hear it all the time that if you play a small mouthpiece you won’t have a nice big sound…. I don’t always agree!!!
Btw…. I tried my uncle’s mouthpiece and I could barely get a note out it was so small!! Lol

According to this chart, the 10 1/2C has slightly more cup volume than a 3C.
