The bulk of the musical talk

Has anyone here used a Bach 18 or simular mouthpiece after high school?

This time I really mean it....done.
Start to finish over 10 years. Dozens of mouthpieces bought and sold. The only ones left are the 2 blokepieces, my original Benge 18, a couple of beat up Bach 22s, and a unmarked 67 mouthpiece that I turned into a paperweight by opening up the throat,

1 rim left to sell.

Update: I saw my post from 2006, and it is time to update. I still have my Kelly. The actual Bach mouthpieces (yes, I tried several 18's) and any copies I had along the way have gone away. I still have the custom mouthpiece that Jim @ Kanstul made for me that is their take on an 18, but with the cup at 1.28 instead of 1.26, when I need a little more projection outdoors.

Other than that, all my other mouthpieces, including too many in the meantime to mention, have all gone away in favor of the Blokepiece Imperial with the 32.6 modified Helleberg rim and a spacer trimmed to .080.
