B1.5CC-27
  Wedge - Bach 1.5C Cushion
The 1.5CC is an excellent choice for someone playing a Bach 1-1/2C or similar mouthpiece. It is based on a 1.5 cushion Wedge rim and a C cup. It has more edge than the 1.5B cup models, but still produces a full sound with lots of core. It is a great all round choice.

B3CC-27
  Wedge - Bach 3C Cushion
The 3CC is an excellent choice for someone playing a Bach 3C or similar mouthpiece. It is based on a 3 cushion Wedge rim and a C cup. The 3CC plays slightly bigger than the Wedge 3C. The 3C and 3CC are by far our most popular models for a wide variety of playing situations. The Wedge 3CC tends to sound a bit darker than a Bach 3C and is more efficient in the upper register.

About Wedge Backbores
Wedge backbores are available in regular weight and heavy weight models.

Heavy weight models add extra mass to the mouthpiece, and are a bit darker, with more core to the sound. They have a slightly more stable response and tend to produce fewer chipped notes. Heavy weight models are very popular with players who like Monette and similar mouthpieces with a little extra mass.
Wedge Backbore Sizes

Large (L) 27

Similar to a Bach 24, or Warburton 10 backbore. This is a large orchestral backbore.

Large (L) 25

This is the 25 throat version of the Large 27 for a more open blow.

Medium Large (ML) 27

This medium large backbore resembles a Bach 10 or Warburton 7 backbore. It is a good choice for all round use.

Medium Large (ML) 25

This is the 25 throat version of the ML 27.

Medium (M) 27

This is a medium sized backbore similar to a GR #2. It has a more compact sound and offers a little more resistance than the ML

Medium (M) 25

25 throat version of the M25 for a more open blow.

Small (S) 27

This backbore is similar to a Schilke A or Warburton Q backbore. This is a tight commercial backbore. Although many players prefer a larger backbore on the Wedge, this remains a good choice for those who want more resistance and a compact sound.

Regular weight backbores sound a bit brighter and are slightly more responsive to light articulation than the heavy weight models. Both models share the following features.
