Inner Diam. (mm)	Rim Contour/ Thickness	Cup Depth	Throat (mm)	Backbore	Playing Characteristics
16.82 (.662")	semi-flat/ semi-thick	standard	No. 23 3.91 (.154")	narrow	The medium size rim diameter and cup make this a very versatile mouthpiece. It produces a more efficient (more sound for the amount of air) tone than most orchestral mouthpieces, which is focused yet rich and full. It features a large sized throat for a powerful orchestral sound, but it is also easy to play and is an equally well suited mouthpiece for students.
