What v-shaped cup cornet mouthpiece would you recommend for vintage cornets? I currently have a Denis Wick 2B and a Yamaha 13B4.
Thanks!

| Looking at your list of the 2 Conn cornets you have you can’t beat the conn Levy or Conn Wonder or Conn Pechin or conn Libriati or conn model Cornet mouthpieces of that era when it comes to matching resistance and sound balance. But if you absolutely must have a V shape mouthpiece try the York and Son mouthpieces of that era. York made great V cups to match their very conical cornets between 1911-1919. Especially the 2 Courtorier models (new proportion and Wizard models). Not easy to find in great condition but if you do they are great. |

You might consider a Curry vintage cornet piece. A familiar, modern rim with a v-cup and a nice vintage exterior shape.

+1 Plus, he can make it to fit odd ball receivers, like some of the old Olds and Conn cornets. |
