Selling another as part of the Mouthpiece Anonymous healing process. As always, I'm open to interesting trades.

How does the inner diameter compare to the Bach 18? I think I might like the flatter than Bach rim, but generally like a little bigger diameter.

The I.D. is a hair smaller (32.00 vs 32.10mm) but of course, this is with my limited skills in using a digital caliper.
The feel while playing is almost identical to the Perantucci 12 that is my main piece. This mouthpiece is not quite as deep as the Perantucci and has a tighter backbore. I like how it plays and I love the look of it, but I have 2 other mouthpieces that are close to it in size (Faxx 18 is the other) so I knew it would never get played.

Thanks for the info. By the way, the angle on the picture is perfect for seeing what rim is like.

Ends in less than 24 hrs. Bid early and often. :D

Auction over. I am proud to say I am down to 4 playable non-plastic tuba mouthpieces. M.A. does work! :D
