The B5C mouthpiece is designed to meet the needs of a player who likes the characteristics of the Bach 5C mouthpiece. The B5C is an excellent choice for a beginning player as an alternative to the Bach 7C. The Wedge B5C has a much more comfortable rim and is a size well managed by young players. The diameter is slightly smaller than a Bach 3C or Wedge B3C, however the cup is slightly deeper.

This mouthpiece has our new Double Oval Cup (DOC). The diameter of the rim and cup in the vertical dimension is 10/1000 of an inch larger than it is from side to side. This means that the oval shape of the Wedge rim is continued down to the base of the cup where it joins the throat. The DOC design, found only in Wedge mouthpieces,  provides the added efficiency of a smaller mouthpiece with the big sound, clear attacks, and flexibility of the larger mouthpiece.

Wedge plastic mouthpieces are machined from black Delrin just like our brass and stainless steel models. They have all the advantages of a metal Wedge mouthpiece, the main difference being that they play with a darker sound. Slotting and response is excellent. Most players prefer a 25 throat on these plastic models.

This top can be used with any Wedge, Warburton, or similar backbore with a matching throat size. The metal backbore makes the mouthpiece sound slightly brighter than the all plastic model.

This mouthpiece has a medium-large backbore.
