Backbore Comparisons

The table below provides comparisons of some of the more common backbores. They were obtained with a low tech method using pin gauges and a Vernier digital caliper.The data was then imported into an Excel spreadsheet and imported into RhinoCAD as a point cloud, from which the curves are drawn.

Although this is not a sophisticated method, the results are highly reproducible to about 1/1000 of an inch and are consistent when calibrated against known dimensions of Wedge backbores turned on a CNC lathe.

To see two backbores together find the first one along the top row and click on the X corresponding to the row for the backbore to which you wish to see it compared. The image will load without leaving the page.

Testimonials

"The Wedge helps me lock my mouthpiece in the right place. I think that as I fatigued, my mouthpiece would have a tendency to shift downwards. I have good flexibility and range with the Wedge. I also have my articulation, including double and triple tonguing improved with the Wedge, with a added tone intensifying weight on my mouthpiece.

Dave's personal attention to customer service cannot be overstated. It was pure pleasure dealing with Dave. I would recommend the Wedge to anyone with an open mind. I would especially recommend it to anyone who has some variability in their embouchure, and wants to lock it in properly."
