What would be an example of a wide, narrow(not cushion) rim, shallow cup mouthpiece, and what do you think of said mouthpiece...accepting that mouthpiece opinions are subjective.

Thanks Guys
Marcinkiewicz H4 is wide and shallow, with a relatively narrow rim. It isn't an attack mouthpiece (e.g., LM 12.) I think it conceivably could sound nice in a legit context, for someone who wants the responsiveness and doesn't need a "totally dark" tone. I personally feel a little insecure on it - it's great when it works, but overall I play better on an easier mouthpiece. (Like, smaller.)

Conventional wisdom: shallow bowl cup = fast response and a lot of overtones, and some find them desirable for high register.

My C4 has a wide rim.
