My mouthpiece used for fifteen years is a custom mouthpiece that I built when I was the custom mouthpiece maker at Marcinkiewicz Music Products. The rim is similar to a Bach 1 1/2C, the cup is similar to a Bach 3C and the backbore is a combination of backbores that I came up with.

Earlier this year Gary Radtke of GR Technologies, made me an awesome
mouthpiece based off of my original.
