HI, Douglas!

I guess that I would have to ask what position he will be playing with your
band.  If he is going to play 2nd or 3rd cornet, I would recommend a larger
mouthpiece than he is currently playing, like a Wick 2 or 4.  If he is going
to play front row solo cornet, then maybe a 2B or 4B would be good for him.


I, personally, play a 2B in the front row of the Illinois Brass Band, as
does one of the other front row cornets (my wife).  We do play Bach 1 or 1
1/2 size (or larger) rims on our trumpet mouthpieces for orchestral work, so
that should also be taken into account.

Otherwise, a Wick 5 should be about the same rim in a cornet mouthpiece.

Hope that helps!
