I'm interested why you're into getting one of these. I'm currently playing a DW9BS which I'm doing ok on. The rim is comfortable, but I think that a m/P with a little more width might serve me better.

The one thing that the smaller Wicks don't have unlike the 9BS is a more conical throat, and I suspect that the 7CS may have the same bore profile as the 10cs which I find a little tight when used with a small bore horn.

Note the narrower rim and bore size on the 7CS.

7CS

Diameter: 37.92 mm

Cup Diameter: 25.40 mm

Rim Width: 6.26 mm

Bore Size: 6.24 mm

Back Bore: Medium

9BS

Diameter: 37.92 mm

Cup Diameter: 25.00 mm

Rim Width: 6.46 mm

Bore Size: 6.66 mm

Back Bore: V-type

I wanted to get one because I really liked how the 10CS responded and sounded, but it was too small for my liking.

I have been shying away from getting fixated on the specifics of mouthpiece design, as each variable is really a small component of how a system responds as a whole. The only way to test this system is by playing the mouthpiece.

I didn't like the 7CS - it didn't have enough color. I thought the sound was boring compared to the 10 and other mouthpieces of similar range. Other players have this piece and sound good, I just didn't like it. I've moved on to greener pastures.

Because nothing has changed in my playing scene I'm unlikely to buy one. They don't seem to appear on eBay, and I don't know of anyone that owns, or has owned one.

Just wondering really.. :|
