I currently play on a Laskey 30H and it is CLOSE to what I'm looking for. My problem with this mouthpiece is that the rim is barely what I like and the throat is too small for my tastes. I wouldn't mind having the throat opened up, but I'm afraid that if it wasn't done spot on that it would ruin the mouthpiece.

LOUD LM6. It's an LM7 cup (similar to SHII + Laskey30H) with 8.6mm throat. Your choice on the rims.

It's quite easy to open up the throat on a brass mouthpiece. Just be careful. You can even do it without turning on the drill. Brass and silver are very soft metals.

The Sidey SHII has a rim diameter of 32.60 and has a throat of 8.50 and has a REALLY flat rim, a sharp inner edge, it's a funnel and is relatively deep.
It does feel a little bit small, kinda like an original small helleberg (whatever that means to you) or like the Chuck Dallenbach mouthpiece.

Yeah, everything posted so far does point to one of the Sidey SSH variants.
