Mouthpiece Kit

Mouthpiece kit includes a mouthpiece, ligature, and plastic cap.

In the trumpet world, high note playing is sensed as one of the more difficult tasks of learning to play. Trumpeters tend to believe that they have to switch to a “jazz mouthpiece” to achieve high notes on a trumpet. So then they have this faith that they play 2 dissimilar mouthpieces – one for tone, one for high notes.

What’s interesting to me is that while a great deal of mouthpieces may tend to aid in the ease of manufacturing more quickly air, that’s all a high note in truth is. Players who turn to shallower cups tend to play with a more glorious sound in usual (hence the jazz mouthpiece). Once in a concert setting, they tend to return to a “C” cup or a “B” cup and regain a “classical” tone (hence the classical mouthpieces).

If a player learned to develop a clear upper register on a “C” cup, they wouldn’t inevitably have to switch mouthpieces and confuse muscles, air stream, embouchure, or their minds with varying degrees of myths!

The mouthpiece that I’ve formulated is close to a “C” depth, what I’ve changed for my playing is the rim size. I have found that the rim size affects my ease – not my tone. There are other variables in the anatomy of a mouthpiece that will either heighten or hinder ones tone and range, such as back bore, throat size, etc. But if we stay with a usual back bore and throat, such as in the Bach line of mouthpieces, we may modify tone just by altering cup depth.

This is what most trumpet players don’t want to face up to – if we just did the work without looking for instrumentation to do it for us, we’d come out with a lot more cash in our pockets and a lot less frustrated! My line of mouthpieces are outstanding because they don’t offer a bunch of hocus-pocus, empty promises, or claims that they will give you range that you don’t already have… they do offer a more comfortable rim, and variable rim sizes in a kit form – something that most manufacturers don’t do.
