Legends MF FBL TS:
Here are some specs on this piece: MF FBL TS
This model is inspired by a mouthpiece played by the legendary Maynard Ferguson. In the late 1960's, when Maynard was living in England, he worked with a mouthpiece craftsman named Jack Bell. Together they created the FBL (Ferguson-Bell Limited) series of mouthpieces. Three depths were created, the TS (shallow), TM (medium) and TD (deep). Legend has it that Maynard was using this series of mouthpieces when he recorded the original "MacArthur Park". He is said to have played all three depths, possibly interchanging them to compensate for swelling of his chops. A deeper cup played with swollen chops would sound and feel like a more shallow cup with fresh chops. The Legends MF FBL TS rim is very round and extremely comfortable, to support those extended upper-register riffs. The depth of the TS cup is very hard to quantify. It is a convex V from rim to throat, as with most of Maynard's mouthpieces. The TS is more shallow than the TM, however. To make this mouthpiece more accommodating to a wide range of players, it has a #27 throat and the Legends S backbore.
