Philip, it all depends of course how you feel with the rim, which sound you prefer,... it's all personal. All I know is about the Wicks. I prefer a bright and a quite fat sound, as Sandy Smith or Sheona White. A number 5 makes me think you are coming down from a smaller instrument like flugel, cornet, maybe even French horn? I think you should once try to come down to nr. 2. Or 3 if on the 2 you loose the upper register. Certainly when you're on solo horn, it can be very tiring playing above top G's for an hour on an nr. 2. If you're on second horn I think it's difficult to play a clear bottom G, F# on a 5. But all depends also on the person of course. I know Sandy has no problems with his nr. 2 , Sheona tried it too but feels more comfortable on 3 and she's playing the 3 now I think. But it should be crazy to go for an embouchure somebody else is playing. But try it! Oh yes, I am using the Wick no.2 on first horn. But then I never started on eg cornet.

I'm currently using a Dennis Wick-5, but I like the Vincent Bach mouthpieces. Any adivce?
