Vernon, otoh, was really surprising. The sound was focused. Just the right amount of resistance. An overall nice playing mouthpiece. I do have to go back and qualify what I said about 7c's in my previous post s. I still stand by what I wrote, but will admit that the Mt. Vernon 7c is a mouthpiece worthy of consideration when a large sound is not needed. The 5c was the superior sounding mouthpiece, seconded by the Mt Vernon 7C. The 5C did not take much more effort to play and is only marginally larger feeling than the Elkhart 7C.
The sound, however, is much, much rounder and fuller. I think I would feel very comfortable on the 5C, were I not playing on larger equipment comfortably. So, to summarize Equating Bach mouthpiece sizes, one must be acutely aware of when and how each individual mouthpiece was made in addition to their legendary inconsistency. Then throw in different rim widths and cups and backbores How can we even discuss these things intellitgently? It is a daunting task, no? See y'all at Midwest, SK. Reply to author.

Hello All I too am a re-starter crikey, there are so many of us the world will soon be overrun by old horn blowers after a 6 year layoff. He's a great teacher and player. I don't think he's on tpin. His email is bach Tim Morgan.
I recently started playing again 5 months ago after 15 years. I have always played a 5C. Don't know if a 7C would have made any difference one way or another One of the reasons the 7c is considerd a standard for starting students is that most students are very yound between , so they are physically smaller, thus the smaller mouthpiece. The 7c is a fine mouthpiece, but I would recomend the 5c or even a 5B for more room and a slightly larger sound usually.
As a medical doctor I will also post articles about medical conditions of interest to brass players from time to time. For complete information about Wedge mouthpieces visit the Wedge website or check us out on Facebook by clicking on the links below.

How did the Bach 7C become labelled as a good mouthpiece for beginners?
Vincent Bach happened to like it, and it is said that played one himself at times. He chose to include it withe new instruments. The Bach 7C has a narrower rim than some other models, and the high point is shifted more to the inside.
