Willson TA1 European Shank Mouthpiece?

[Russell_B]

Hi, I am looking for a mouthpiece for my Besson New Standard. I've noticed that a lot of european shank mouthpieces are over $100, but this one is way less. Would this be a good pick?

I'm sure it is at least decent, but it depends on what you want. This is roughly like a Bach 5G from what I hear. If that size seems about right, then the TA1 you show might be a good pick.

Or here is a Kelly plastic 5G with medium shank for $17.99 if you want to go cheaper.

I will be coming from a large shank Getzen 6 1/2 AL mouthpiece. Does it sound reasonable to use the Wilson if I was using a much larger mouthpiece for my other horn?

The 5G is slightly larger than the 6-1/2AL. For Bach and Wick, a smaller number = a larger mouthpiece. The 5G would probably be pretty easy to get used to.

Wow, thank you for replying, I am glad you were able to explain this to me!
