That's actually a really good question (one that I got at an Atlanta Buffet Clarinet Choir Festival)!

I don't really know.

During my career with the US Army Band program there was a lot of equipment buying and shuffling and I wound up keeping one of the bass mouthpieces along the way, but not the one that I necessarily ordered.

It is a Zinner "blank" (not so clearly stamped along the right side of the table but it appears to be heavily worked on. The rails are almost spooky thin, it has that shallow swoop of the baffle right at the tip, its baffle is dug out a bit coming into the bore, and it is an "A-Frame" tone chamber configuration. If I wanted to know the tip opening and facing length, I'd have to take it to someone..........hmmmmm......maybe I'll bother one of our renown mouthpiece makers in Knoxville!
