AW in 24AW Stands for?

[iiipopes]

Now how can I get a 24W with the rim of the Kelly?

Call Jim at Kanstul. They have everything in their database and will CNC make it for you.

Have any Idea of the what it would cost to have such a mpc made at Kanstul?
Thank you.

To get more projecton for my recording bell, I wanted an 18-style mouthpiece, but in my preferred cup diameter, and smaller throat than a standard Bach 18. Jim took their "standard" 18-clone (which has the .328 throat and moderate backbore instead of the larger "stock" Bach 18 throat and backbore), widened the cup to 1.28 instead of 1.26, and put a Mt Vernon 18 rim on it for @$150, but that was a couple of years ago. Count on inflation. By comparison, to have "designed it from scratch" would have been @$300. In looking at their website, they have a 24AW clone as well, and it's not a big deal to change rims.

Now, if you like the 24AW otherwise, and only want the rim turned down, Vladimir at Dillon turned down my Curry 128D rim, which was wide like a Bach W rim, (it literally bumped my nose and I couldn't keep it centered on my embouchure - it kept riding down) again, for me, to a Bach 18 Mt Vernon rim, and was very reasonable on the charge, since I purchased the mouthpiece from Matt as well, but I don't remember the upcharge of the turning of the rim and replating it. It might be that you could simply send him your favorite mouthpiece and have him do the work, so you can keep the playability and "feel" that you like.

In the meantime, there are a lot, and I mean a lot of other mouthpieces out there. I came to my three primary mouthpieces (Curry with the turned rim, Kanstul semi-custom, and my Lexan Kelly 18 for inclement weather) after trying literally scores (pun again intended) of mouthpieces, and getting the recommendation of the Curry from Matt after a frank discussion of my horn and my playing, both good points and weak points.

Here's a great comparison chart so you can start with your 24AW and see if there is anything in the vicinity before you go dropping $$ on customization:

German word for 24AW: Polsterrandmundstueck.
That means: Upholstery rim mpc

Nothing for me. Lukewarm. I like it hot and sharp: Paul Sideys SSH
