Overview of Wedge Tenor Horn Mouthpieces
Rims
* Rim inner diameter (ID) is measured at .05 inches into the cup* Rims are named according to the ID (a 75 rim has an ID of .75 inches)
* Easily correlated with sizes of Denis Wick tenor horn mouthpieces
Cup
* Cup depth and shape varies somewhat depending on rim diameter, similar to Denis Wick mouthpieces. * Unique oval cup shape, larger from top to bottom than side to side, extending right down to the throat
* Oval cup amplifies the effect of the Wedge rim, providing greater responsiveness in all registers and a bigger, fatter sound compared to a conventional round cup of similar depth and volume.
