Another ok effort...but...all the sizes in the mps I mostly use are incorrect using the Bach "home base" numbers. A Warburton 4 is like a Bach 5, not 3. (Unless you got a small 3C) Wick 4 and 4B (I use the cornet mps) are like Bach 5 (with a wider rim), not 7. The craziest is Stork 5C as Bach 8C? Try a Bach 6C, but playes bigger due to the rim/cup shape.
Again, by the published, printed measurements the sizes are not accurate.

Size charts are very useful, but only for general comparisons. I have known people who will say this Bach mouthpiece feels bigger than this Schilke and others who will take the same two mouthpieces and come to the opposite conclusion. When I made my chart I learned a lot! Many emails regarding how this mouthpiece should be in this category, etc.

People have taken the time to measure thousands of mouthpiece, but yet the measurement are never quite the same. If you are looking for a new mouthpiece, a size chart is a good place TO START. From there, you have to play them. Everyone is different.
