Benge 5B cornet mouthpiece - Lausmann OEM made in Germany, UMI

Description: For years, I've supported the idea of branching out from the Vincent Bach 3C/5C/7C monotony that predominated school band trumpet & cornet sections. The Benge 5B kicked it off when the band director couldn't identify if/why it was better or worse than a 5C [i.e. when switching from 7C], and it's a great overall cornet mouthpiece! The 5B, per the Bach Mouthpiece Manual, has a "A precise rim and a fairly large cup. The tone is vivid and full." - fitting description for this. UMI said much the same: "For trumpet [cornet] players who want a good all-around mouthpiece without too much edge." - entirely accurate.The sound is bold, yet not excessively dark. It's not fuzzy or diffuse, but defined. For cornet players wanting an all-around mouthpiece with more geometric and sonic depth, this is a good upgrade option. I found this model useful for upper register training as well due to marginally less support, and it served well in everything from marching band section work to concert band to solos. It's a decent counterpart to the no-letter 3. With the medium width, semi-flat rim, it has a comfortable feel - the rim and bite vary compared to various Bach examples scanned [big surprise], but the Benge 5B doesn't have an overly sharp bite. This example has very good silver plating as well, with various light nicks, microscratches, and some other small dings. The shank opening is round as well. Sold as-is, no returns, pay within 3 days.
