Choosing the correct model is as easy as one, two, three:

1. Choose a rim:

40 40/64", .625", 15.875mm Semi-flat with a medium-sharp bite The 40 rim is functionally similar to Bach Mount Vernon 10 1/2C, Bach 11 3/4 C, 17, and Schilke 6 rims.
41 41/64", .640", 16.272mm Semi-flat with a medium-sharp bite The 41 rim is functionally similar to Bach 7C, 9D, 10 3/4 A,11A, 11C, and Schilke 13 rims.
42 42/64", .656", 16.669mm Medium-round with a soft bite Our 42 rim is functionally similar to Bach Elkhart 3C & 6C, Bach 8C, 10B, and Schilke 14 rims.
43 43/64", .672", 17.066mm Semi-round with a soft bite Our 43 rim is functionally similar to Bach 2 3/4 C, 3, 3E, 3F, and Schilke 16 rims.
43N 43/64", .672", 17.066mm Semi-flat, narrow, with a medium-sharp bite Our 43N rim is functionally similar to a Bach 6C Mount Vernon, Bach 1X, 2 1/2 C, 6, 6B, 7D, and 8 1/2 B rims.
43W 43/64", .672", 17.066mm Semi-round, medium-cushion with a soft bite Our 43W rim is functionally similar to a Bach 2 3/4C with cushion, 7CW, and 3CW rims.

2. Choose a cup style:

Cup Average Cup Depth Description
ES .195" Extra shallow bowl shaped cup
SV .208" Very shallow conical V-shaped cup
S .215" Shallow bowl shaped cup
M .245" Medium bowl shaped cup
D .260" Medium-deep conical bowl shaped cup
C .268" Medium-deep bowl shaped cup (Similar to a Bach 3C cup)
B .305" Deep cylindrical bowl (Like Bach 7B)

 

 

3. Choose a backbore:

Backbore Description
692sL An extremely efficient backbore. It is the same shape as the 692s backbore but not shortened. This increases the cylindrical bore section leading to a full, focused sound and enhanced slotting in the extreme upper register.
692s An efficient backbore, the 692s is shorter than a conventional length mouthpiece. When combined with shallow cups it projects with ease making it a popular choice for lead players. When combined with very deeper cups (like a "B" cup) it allows for the darkness in sound of the cup while continuing to assist in the upper register.
2 (Standard) Our most versatile backbore, the 2 is more centered than a Bach #10 with excellent tone color and intonation. This backbore works well on all of our cups providing the player both efficiency and agility. The 2 backbore is generally not marked on our mouthpieces.
69 Good for big band playing, the 69 backbore records well with a bright, focused sound. This is very popular on our shallower cups (S and shallower). Good if you like to power the upper register. It was named because Bob developed it in 1969.
692 Darker and broader tone than the 69 backbore but still with a well defined core. The 692 works great for strong players who don’t prefer the efficiency of smaller backbores and for players who have tighter horns.
s Our Symphonic backbore is similar in style to a Schmitt backbore and used in combination with our deeper cups to produce an opulent, teutonic sound.
X Our physically largest backbore, the X is a popular choice for rotary trumpets and when a dark, warm sound is desired.

 

From there, you can decide if you want our standard shank or if you prefer to optimize your mouthpiece further using the Reeves Sleeve system.
