I'm looking for mouthpiece that combines the rim size and contour of a Bach 5G with the cup shape and depth of a Schilke 51. Any suggestions?

My LT 101-5G rim, H cup, H8 or H9 shank

I asked a similar question here a few weeks ago. Doug’s suggestion, in a Skype call, confirmed the written response he made here. Very satisfied with the process.

What Doug said

Thanks everyone.

Just out of curiosity Doug, why the LT instead of the XT?

I used a Schilke 51D for a while. A smaller rim with deep cup - I've now gone onto XT 101 G & H. Did use an LT101 G for a while but now prefer the open feel of the XT series.

Either one would work but LT will give "the rim size and contour of a Bach 5G" as you specified.

XT will have a bigger feel. Maybe you want that.

I recommend my standard rim shape instead of the 5G shape. Nearly everybody likes it better.

Understood. Thanks Doug.

I had Hammond put his 12 rim on a Schilke 51D. His rims are very comfortable. I just got and am liking a 5G at present. Given my 40 Lbs box of reserves, I don’t know how I missed the 5G until now.

A new mouthpiece solves all my playing problems for 6 months. That’s why I buy a new one every 5
