Mount Vernon Models

Our Mount Vernon collection are all hand made copies of vintage originals. These mouthpieces share common features like very bowl shaped "C" style cups. They also have back bores that are larger than the standard Bach back bore seen in present day models. These elements in combination guarantee that the emphasis is on the quality of sound.

The S1 was a design originally conceived by William Vacchiano. The cup shape and volume belong to an original Mount Vernon 5B cup fit to a 1C rim. The MV5B cup is unique in that it has a modified V shaped cup ( compare the S1 cup to the S2 cup below ). It is this cup shape that inspired the Vacchiano line.

The bore is larger than standard at 3.8 mm as is the back bore which is a symphonic "D" back bore . This design has been passed around among principal players in orchestras all over the world for the past 35 years or so now. This kind of consistent staying power over the years earns this model a permanent place in the New York Collection.

The S2 has a tremendous amount of cup volume without an excess of depth. Put another way this is a very "C" shaped cup with lots of bowl to it. The bore is quite large at 4 mm., but the back bore is moderate in size, not a whole lot larger than our standard back bore.

This is a very large symphonic mouthpiece and has served the principal player of a major American orchestra for many years.
