Does anyone know what kind of mouthpiece I would need?

Depends on the trumpet. I used to play on a bach 229H25R which had a full size trumpet leadpipe with a reversed tuning slide.


Did you need a different mouthpiece, or the standard?

Short shank mouthpieces by Monette are made proportional to the overall length of of the specific keyed trumpet it's designed for. All Monette C mouthpieces I've measured regardless of model are uniformly the same length.

You may consider alternatives like Curry 3.1 or have a stock Bach altered for C trumpet. If you choose to have a stock Bach altered for C simply specify the size/model you want and we can take care of the rest.

I hope this is helpful.

If I were to get a curry/bach from you, how much would the alteration be?

FWIW, I play box stock Curry mpc's on my C (both before and after the horn was tweaked out by Mr. Becker). I even discussed the idea of a modified mouthpiece and he convinced me there was no reason to go that route.

I'm not sure how you got onto this idea that you need a modified mouthpiece to play a C trumpet, but hey, it's your money.

If you read the previous post, it is because my horn is made to take those type of mouthpiece. It has a smaller receiver, causing my mouthpieces to stick out too far, and because the are not seated correctly it wiggles around.

Weril actually makes or made special mouthpieces for this C trumpet?

I misunderstood what you wrote. From your description, it seems like you are chasing the symptom, not the cause.

If you get a special mouthpiece for that wonky, non-standard receiver, you'll be forced to buy a special mouthpiece anytime you want to change.

I would suggest that you'd be better off having somebody competent examine the horn and look into the option of replacing the receiver with one that will accept standard mouthpieces.

Now that we know the reason for a special shank can you please share what brand your C trumpet is? I think everyone here would like to know.

For better part of the past century the Morse #1 taper has been the industry standard for trumpet mouthpiece shanks. There was a time in the 1920's and 30's when Holton and Vega had their own specialized sized tapers specific to for their own trumpet designs.

It is a Weril Regium II Symphonic. I have their Bb horn and love it.
