Yamaha Mouthpiece Pierre Dutot S

This mouthpiece does not seem to be sufficiently well known. It makes a lovely sound and is a good compromise of characteristics for those seeking a brass band or solo cornet mouthpiece.
Compared to the Yamaha 14E/16E, it has a similar throat but wider backbore and (in my opinion) this makes it better to play.
Compared to a Yamaha King it has a narrower throat and a wider backbore and compared to a Wick no-letter it has a narrower throat, (probably) a narrower backbore and a cup that is not so extremely deep.
The Dutot seems to me to be better balanced in these respects than all these other mouthpieces, it is more versatile and has a really nice playing feel to it.
The bowl is quite thin (lacking in mass) and its shape is like an old fashioned mouthpiece. The rim is extremely comfortable and flexible to play but seems relatively thin and flat.
This is a great mouthpiece for lyrical solo playing in particular.
