Monette B6L The plating is still beautiful as it has been used very little. This mouthpiece can be used all-around, from lead to side, and is easy to play and has good pitch. The shank was damaged, but it has been repaired. It played without any problems on both Bach and Schilke instruments. The inner rim diameter is slightly smaller than a Bach 6. According to the catalog, it is equivalent to a Schilke 14B3. The rim is flatter and thicker than a Monette B6. Therefore, the outer rim diameter feels as large as a Bach 3. It has a soft rim that is comfortable on the mouth and designed to prevent pain even with hard pressing. The cup has a slight undercut and is about the same depth as a Bach E, and slightly deeper than a Monette BL. It has a good balance of a thick throat and a narrow backbore. Even in the high register, the sound is thick and warm without being tinny. It is designed to make it easy to hit the notes in the high range, with stable pitch and easy control. This mouthpiece can be used all-around, from lead to combo.
