I guess I'm odd man out on this one. After more than thirty years of teaching, I've settled into the Holton DC and the Bach 3 as my beginning mouthpieces of choice.
Both are deeper than what others have mentioned, and both have thinner rims, too. The Bach 3 rim seems a bit strange, at first, but the results are good. Highly under rated. I also like the old Conn 7BN, not the more common 7BW. Again, it has a narrow rim. Glad to know it's still being made. Thanks Dave!
