Bach small shank informations
Hi, I would like to ask informations about Bach small shank (without letter). What is cup depth on Bach 4? Kind of 6 1/2 A depth ? How is it rim contour? Flat or round? Thank you for your answer

Bach 4 | Medium depth cup | 26.00 mm cup I.D. | Medium wide rim, well-rounded | Very large cup; principally used by players having healthy, strong embouchures.
Larger cup than a 6½AL, but much smaller throat (5.85mm for 4, vs. 6.63mm for 6½AL

I found the no-letter pieces to be a bit restricting.

The A cup is deeper then 4 cup. All no letter Bach mouthpieces have a B cup.

Re: Bach small shank informations
Thank you for the answers. I already read specs on catalogue, but I wanted to know yours real thoughts about. So, we can say it is essentially Bach 6 1/2 A with bigger rim (4G size) , rounded like 6 1/2?
