Question
I have a near mint Buescher True=Tone 6cb trumpet mouthpiece. It is a cheater mp and has a very tiny back bore. My question is what information can you give me about it besides it being a pro piece?

Answer
We would need a Buescher catalog that is newer than what I have to answer this question.  

My catalog lists:  

1 Levy Cornet
2 Emerson Cornet
3 Coutois Cornet
4 Liberati Cornet
5 Arban Cornet
8 Bartait Cornet
9 Chambers Cornet
10 Buescher Cornet
18 Alto
19 Balad Horn
20 Tenor
21 Trombone
22 Baritone
24 Eb Bass
26 BBb Bass

I would presume that it is a newer model.

Expertise

Please note: My area is BRASS instruments, not other wind, string or percussion instruments. I will provide information on antique, obscure and out of production BRASS instruments. 1) Please don't ask for evaluations, I'll not provide them on this site. 2) I am often asked very similar questions, so I'd invite you to first check on Horn-u-Copia.net. Much of the information I have garnered about this topic, I have posted on this WEB site.

Experience

I perform in several historical bands, have informally researched the area, repair brass instruments, and operate a Forum dedicated to the topic at http://horn-u-copia.net
