Does anyone play with it?
What does it compare to? Bach 12C?

I found it 'unbalanced' and not as good as the Marcinkiewicz Jiggs model....the piece i used all the time on my small horn until switching to DE's setup due to the amount of doubling i now need to do!

It is deeper than a 12C more like an 11.

I still have the Marc Jiggs if you wanted to buy it!!!

Years and years ago I got the chance to study with Jiggs for 2 summers and during this time I picked up the Giardinelli Jiggs Whigham model mouthpiece. (Back when Giardinelli`s was a true custom Mouthpiece shop) Great piece. Rim is real comfy and feels close to a 7C but shallower. I tried the King Jiggs model a few years ago and my general impression was "YUCK".
