Directorofbands Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Soprano (back when I marched) - Bach 1 1/2C (On lead, nontheless)Trumpet - Bach 1 Megatone gold plated Wewere never forced to use a particular mpc. However, I start all of my trumpet players on a 3C in beginning band and most of my HS players are on 1 1/2C with a few on 1's. Is there any particular reason you're switching our HS players to the larger pieces? Also, have you found that any that have changed couldn't handle the larger size? I start my trumpets on the larger mouthpiece (3C) after talking with one of the best jr high directors in the area who says she always started her kids on bigger mouthpieces. As far as handling it on the HS level, my kids have had no problem with range on the larger mouthpieces. The real payoff is in concert season when a big, open, natural trumpet sound is a welcome sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzlyoflight Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 1. Bach 5c and 7c on the trumpet and a Mt. Vernon 7c on the Cornet. 2. Instructed to the 5c by my last teacher saying it will develop the lip further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerMellophone Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 A Marcinkiewicz MLP4. Its a fairly shallow mellophone mouthpiece with a # 13 (thats right, 13!) backbore. Its a shame that haven't made these for over 15 years. I don't know what I'll do if I ever dent it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerFred Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 I play a Schilke 14B5E. Gives a darker and more open sound for me at least and allowed me years ago to get by not having to use a Bach like we were instructed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bssop97 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 A warburton 4MD top with a cokie cutter rim, 9* backbore drilled to a 24 throat. I think I'm the only lead player you'll know that likes a thin and narrow rim. Been playing it for 7 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 (edited) I Play Trumpet and use a 7c. I find its alot easier to hit higher pitches with a smaller mouthpiece. Edited July 15, 2004 by Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
