This model was designed for Wynton Marsalis, and it is one of our most popular sizes for classical, jazz, orchestral, and all-around playing.  The rim and cup size compare to the 1 1/4C, and just about everyone who plays that size will love it!  Many people who currently play a slightly smaller size like a 1 1/2C also like the B2S3 because the sound is bigger, the response is faster, and it plays more efficiently – all without sacrificing range or endurance.
