Cut for Sleeves
Bob Reeves developed his sleeve system in 1973 as a method for adjusting the annulus ("gap") between the end of the mouthpiece and the beginning of the lead pipe. This allows the player to "fine tune" the playing back pressure of his/her set-up. It also allows the player to use one mouthpiece on different instruments that require a different gap.
The correct gap can only be determined through experimentation as it varies from player to player, mouthpiece to mouthpiece, and instrument to instrument. Virtually any trumpet mouthpiece can be converted to use Bob Reeves sleeves. They are available in sizes #0.5 through #7 in half sizes. A #0.5 sleeve will give you the greatest gap. A #7 is the smallest.
If you have your mouthpiece cut for sleeves, be sure to also purchase the sleeves that you need. Trumpet Sleeves.

Description
Bach 8½B Trumpet Mouthpiece
Featuring a 16.10 mm cup diameter with a medium-deep cup and a medium-wide rim lowered toward the outside with a moderately sharp inner edge, the Bach 8½B offers a comfortable and responsive feel. Similar to the 7B but with a slightly smaller diameter, it facilitates easier production of high tones while maintaining a warm, full sound. Its medium-deep cup provides richness and balance across the range, making it a versatile option for all-around playing. The #7 backbore supports an open feel with broad airflow and strong projection.
