These are the Conn,King,Benge combined features in one mouthpiece design by UMI. It is either UMI are Conn Selmer not sure. Have anyone while on their mouthpiece safari tried any of them? They look great. But pretty is as pretty does
Concave sides from the King mouthpieces of the 1960s, knurled exterior from C.G. Conn mouthpieces of the 1920s and rim/cup sizes from Benge mouthpieces of the 1980s – features from the past combined with the science and technology of the present in one superior design.
When I down sized from my Schilkes, I tried the one that came with my V1. I used it for one rehersal with the concert band and had sore chops for days. The rim was too sharp for me, but it did play well. _________________ Bb's- Vintage One, Strad

Hello Son of Sam. I just got my 3C CKB A.B. cornet m.p. Mouthpiece Express sells them in trumpet and cornet Takes a little while to get one. As they are a special order item. If you like a symphonic m.p. with a sharp bite. This is your mouthpiece. They are great playing. Right up there with the GR's. I really like mine. It sounds real good on my Conn Connstelation,Olds Special and King Cleaveland. and Ambassador cornets. The G on staff to C to low C all blow easy. It is to me just as it is advertised. A Accoustic Balanced m. p. Also you can get in a wider rim if you like. I also play a 5B bach. These mouthpieces come in a 5B in trumpet. They appear to run about same in rim and cup size as Bach m.p.'s. My mouthpiece safari seems to be coming to a end. Praise the Lord.
