Re: Wedge Cooley with euro shank
Two questions. One, does it have the Wedge rim to it? Two, could you state what your asking price is, please?

Re: Wedge Cooley with euro shank
Did they take an existing Cooley Helleberg and put their rim profile on it, or did they make a "Cooley" using their own mouthpiece blank? I would be interested in the former, but probably not the latter.
Also, posting a photo would be helpful.

If it is anything like the one my teacher Jacob Cameron has it is the Wedge blank with the measurements from a Cooley Helleberg. I tried it and it plays great!

Re: Wedge Cooley with euro shank
I am a huge believer that the outer contours of the mouthpiece are almost as important to the way a mouthpiece sounds as the inside contours. I have a Wedge 7B in their standard blank, and don't find it visually appealing and find that it sounds too bright for my personal taste.BBruce107 wrote:If it is anything like the one my teacher Jacob Cameron has it is the Wedge blank with the measurements from a Cooley Helleberg.

However, I do like the way the rim feels, so if they took a Cooley Helleberg and machined the Wedge rim onto it, I would be very interested.

Re: Wedge Cooley with euro shank
I don't get it. The answer you gave me was precisely the opposite: Cooley Helleberg with a Wedge rim.

Re: Wedge Cooley with euro shank
OK, fair enough. You obviously confused yourself because here are your exact words half-way down: "Yes, it's the Wedge blank with a Cooley rim". Regardless, the price is too steep for me. Thank you for being straight forward about the price.
