Product Overview
This model is on sale because it has been discontinued. Email drdave@wedgemouthpiece.com if you have questions about this mouthpiece.
The 98C is another mouthpiece that falls into a category of sizes that is a bit complicated to sort out due to inconsistencies in Bach rim sizes. It is the best choice for a player using a Bach 7C. It is also similar to a Bach 11C, with a slightly smaller ID.
Confusion arises with these Bach sizes because the Bach 11C actually has a larger cup volume than the Bach 7C, and nearly identical to the 6.75C, depending on the specimen scanned. The inner diameter of the 11C matches the 7C at about .05 inches into the cup (where we take our mouthpiece measurements). Below that point it is smaller, and then larger than the 7C a bit deeper into the cup, as shown in the profiles.
There is enough overlap in the sizes of the 6.75C, 7C, and 11C that one could easily pass for the other if the mouthpiece was not labelled. The main difference is rim shape.
This mouthpiece has a .240 throat, which is the best choice for most players.
