ACB Custom Classic Series of mouthpieces!

These pieces (including my Daily Driver the MV 1.5C) are based on classic Bach Mount Vernon and New York mouthpieces. Modernized and optimized by me they give a "classic" sound and play wonderfully! 

Check them out here

  •  NY1: This originally started out as a CMM scan of a very early New York Bach 1 mouthpiece. The cup and rim are very similar, the backbore and throat are mated with this cup to produce a very large sound shape. Matched to my O backbore it is a great orchestral mouthpiece! The inner diameter is .677"
  • MV 1.25C: This is my modernized take on this classic mouthpiece. I match this piece with my O backbore and a slightly enlarged throat and throat entrance. It plays incredibly well and also has a very "classic" sound! The inner diameter is .673"
  • MV 1.5C: This is my modernized take on this classic mouthpiece. I match this piece with my MO backbore and a slightly enlarged throat and throat entrance. It plays incredibly well and also has a very "classic" sound! I'm using this for my everyday piece these days.
  • MV 3C: It is a bit bigger all-around (as seen in the overlay) than the traditional 3C. For me it feels a smidge smaller than a 1 1/2C. I also put my MO backbore (smaller symphonic shaped) and a #26 throat in this mouthpiece. The sound shape is tremendous and rich. The inner diameter is .664"
  • MV: This is my modernized take on a classic Bach 2 1/2C mouthpiece. Matched to my O backbore it has a slightly enlarged throat entrance to give a freer blow than the original. The inner diameter is .656"
