Description
The Legends RM 13C is based on a vintage Rudy Mück 13C. The legendary cushion rim developed by Rudy Muck was described in the marketing brochure at the time as the “most comfortable feature of any mouthpiece in the field today!” The Legends RM 13C has an inside rim diameter of 0.640″ and a medium shallow V-bowl shaped cup. The throat is a standard #27, and the backbore is a Legends S. This mouthpiece is a tribute to the master craftmanship of Rudy Muck. The size of the inside rim diameter and the shape and depth of the cup make this piece good for upper register playing. And, as the brochure says, with the cushion rim, “Pressure marks and the hinderance of perfect blood circulation are an impossibility.”
Rudy Muck came from a long line of musical instrument craftsmen. His ancestors had been making instruments as far back as 1875 in Austria. Rudy became an apprentice in his father’s New York shop at the age of eight. He learned to play the trumpet during these early years, and by age 12 was playing in B.F. Keith’s band. Later, he became a craftsman in his father’s shop, and together they perfected the legendary Rudy Muck Cushion Rim Mouthpiece.
