Miraphone mouthpiece owners.....

Post by Tubaryan12 »

How would you describe the rim and inner bite of this mouthpiece? Sharp? Rounded? Narrow or wide? Please list which mouthpiece you are referring to.

I've played on my friends TU29 and I'd say the bite is very slightly rounded. The rim itself is moderately wide and deep, like a Bach.

C4 - "gold standard" for round rims. Taken to an extreme on the original G&W A/B models.

I frequently play on a Mirafone TU-33. The rim wide and the rim is rounded. Reminds me a lot of a Bach 12.
