Anyone got a good link to a mouthpiece site? One that gives diagrams of various mouthpieces, as well as terms of the difference parts of the mouthpiece.

We all know rim, shank, cup, etc., but sometimes throat, backbore, etc., can be confusing, as well as the TYPE of rim and cup--width, shape, "sharpness" of the rim, the point at which the cup "breaks" and funnels into the shank... I'd like to know each of these terms and the general effect it has on the playing of the horn...

I can get more specific about the questions I have, but if someone knows a great site that can answer all our questions, that'd be GREAT!! Thanks!
