This is a signature model by Bobby Shew, whose powerful, high-pitched tone remains strong even after the age of 70. Many top professional players, including Eric Miyashiro, have been taught by Bobby Shew. There are five models of Bobby Shew mouthpieces from Marcinkiewicz: 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, and 2. Bobby Shew 1 has the shallowest cup, with the cups becoming progressively deeper with each number up to 2. The size is between a Bach 10-1/2 and 12. The rim is semi-flat with a normal thickness. The outer edge of the rim is slightly rounded, making it easier for the embouchure to grip. The cup is about the same as a Bach F cup. The throat is #28 (3.56mm). Like the Monette and Eric models, the straight part of the throat is quite long, which is especially helpful for stable high notes. The backbore is slightly wider than a Warburton 4. This design provides brilliant, focused high note control with a thick core and easy lip control. There is a slight scratch on the side of the rim, but there are no scratches that affect playing.
