Yamaha 48 Equivalent

Post by PaulyC »

I picked up a new (to me) horn today and it came with a Yamaha 48. I am curious what the Bach equivalent for it would be?

Thanks,

Or should we say "similar" or "near-equivalent" ?

Actually, we have to say that. Each blank is different, and even nominally identical pieces are different.

You could add many brands with similar rim diameters (1 inch or 25.4 mm).

When I look at Doug Elliott's. mouthpiece comparison chart, it shows the Yamaha 48 at LT100C. The Bach 6 1/2 AL is listed at LT100E, a deeper cup. Rim size is the same. I bought a Yamaha 48 last week because I wanted to try the wider rim as compared to my LT99C (similar to a Bach 6 3/4). Although I haven't played the new Yammy outside the house, I like the extra rim width. So far!

So what do you think about the cup depth? Like my C or deeper? I haven't looked at a 48 in a long time.
