Description
The Legends RM 19C is based on a scan of a vintage Rudy Mück 19C. The original brochure from 1937 describes the legendary Rudy Muck cushion rim as “the most comfortable feature of any mouthpiece in the field today”. It helps relieve pressure, prevents hinderance of blood circulation in the lips, and keeps the lips from slipping, even when wet. Over 75 years later, this is still one of the most comfortable rims available. Rudy Muck cushion rim mouthpieces have become indispensable for Mariachi players who seek great projection and comfort through extended playing.
The Legends RM 19C has an inside rim diameter of 0.660″ and a medium to medium shallow V-bowl shaped cup. The throat is a standard #27, and the backbore is a Legends S, which is geared to all-around playing. This mouthpiece is a tribute to the master craftmanship of Rudy Muck, enabling splendid attack in all registers, and clear rounded tones without effort, just as originally intended!
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.
