Softer 7c
Hey all, does anyone have any suggestions for a softer alternative for a 7c? I love the dimensions, the rim contour is just a little too sharp. Thanks!

Re: Softer 7c
When you say softer, do you mean a flatter rim?
It’s much more expensive but the AR Resonance is pretty flat. I would also recommend checking out Denis Wick 10CS but that’s slightly bigger I believe.
Other ones worth checking out if you can get your hands on them
Greg Black 11 or 7C
Hammond 14S
Doug Elliot 98 rim
Laskey 48C
Yamaha 47

I'm sure you don't play a 7C size piece on your 42. It is much more comfortable to use the same rim size on small bores. For most people there's no down side - everything is better and easier.

If you like the mouthpiece, Contact Ken Titmus at KTCustommouthpieces.com He`ll work with you and re-shape the rim.

Re: Softer 7c
I agree the edge of the rim of a Bach 7C is a bit sharp for me too. I have never liked it enough to want exactly that same mouthpiece just with a different rim. Anyhow, the best Bach mouthoieces to me are Bach 11C and Bach 6 1/2 AL. The contour of the rims are more comfortable to me on those and both works very well on a small bore.Arendsdale wrote: Thu Dec 05, 2024 6:34 pm Hey all, does anyone have any suggestions for a softer alternative for a 7c?

Re: Softer 7c
I've also found most of the Bach 7c's are a bit sharp. I'm currently playing a King 7C (came with a King 2B+ mouthpiece). It's very comfortable.
If you're interested in the Yam 47, I have one of those listed for sale here in the classifieds.
Good luck to you.

Re: Softer 7c
I had a Shires 7C for a while.
I play a Mount Vernon 7C and the Shires felt more like a 6 3/4C than a 7C
You may want to look at Picket`s 7 line . They are rim-wise close to the Bach 7C size but a little rounder
a Schilke 46 is another option in that size
Greg Black has a couple in that size range with really comfy rims. His 9C fits that size
