Yamaha YCR - 233S My mouthpiece used for fifteen years is a custom mouthpiece that I built when I was the custom mouthpiece maker at Marcinkiewicz Music Products. The rim is similar to a Bach 1 1/2C, the cup is similar to a Bach 3C and the backbore is a combination of backbores that I came up with.
Earlier this year Gary Radtke of GR Technologies, made me an awesome
mouthpiece based off of my original.

(This was originally a short TPIN compilation by Kevin Fay.)

I first saw this on Trumpet Master and then later on TPIN andnow on another site. On the off chance you guys ahd not seen I figured I would post it! It is super interesting!

Very interesting information. It would be neat to see this in an excel spreadsheet with Breakdown for horns by Bb (primary), Bb (seconday), C trumpet, D trumpet etc with a matrix linking the horns to the mouthpieces used. One could then sort by horn model, mouthpiece and look for common setups easily.

I thought it would be cool to see it in a spreadsheet based on brand and then model. I know I noticed that their where very few Bach instruments in their compared to all the other's!

[John Mohan]

Hey, I'm "famious" [sic]

Some people might think "infamous" would be more appropriate for many of us on that list...

Confession time: I've grown older and lazier, and have downsized from the Reeves 43 rim for most playing to the Reeves 42 rim. For me, a 42C gives a slightly darker tone than a 43C and requires slightly less physical effort - what a combo: easy and not too bright. Now I find I can play a 42M when I really want to sound screamy (I had tried to play a 43M once in a while for screamy stuff, but found the 43C was screamy enough).

Oh my gosh, what a geek I am - I'm discussing... mouthpieces. Enough!

It just goes to show you it is the player not the equipment.

Seriously, it would have been better just to give the link. I also agree, it's very hard to read, as you displayed it. I actually already had the original site bookmarked myself.

I also agree with Nonsense Eliminator's opinion, concerning the lack of Bach Trumpets on the list.

First it is not copy righted that is the first thng I looked for! Second it is in the public domain under several web sites and until I found this on his website no one else had bothered to put the guys name with the material I do not believe. It appeared on Trumpet Master just a few months back and I could have just as easily gotten it from their and I do not believe the origianal poster put the origanal guys name in the thread but I could be wrong on that. I know the link that I say on Trumpet Master was not to the origanal site rather to another site that had reposted the information.

Second if you look at the bottom of the orignal on his site he welcomes people to add to it and make corrections. Not exactly the behavior of someone looking to protect his work.

Third anything in public domain that is not copy righted is considered fair game! It never stops amazeing me how many people seemed to miss internet etiquite 101. The Supreme Court has even ruled on the issue and anythign in public domain that is not copy righted is fair game for anyone that wants to use it even with out the origanal authors permission. I am preety sure that was hammered out while Bill Clinton was in Office the First time so that should give you a time frame!

So your appology is welcome. Seems you are a little to zelious to cast fault and blame where no wrong has been committed. Haveing been through college a number of times and authored several paper I would never steal someone's copy righted material. When I have wanted to use copy righted material as a teaching aid I have always gotten the author or publishing house's permission about 7 out of 10 times so I never hesistate to contact people about their rights as most are fairly friendly even when they say no!

That is one of the problems with many people on this site and most trumpet sites. First they are quick to point fingers and cast blame even if none is due! They do not like anyone that has anything to say that disagree's with them even if they have Zero hands on practical experince! Heaven help you if you say anything that violates the current convention even if it has not always been the case how dare you! If you do not Worship at the altar of Bach and Vinny is not your diety of all things trumpet then you must be an out cast!LOL

One last thing no current so called internet trumpet expert would ever put a list like this together! You know why??? It does not support the current eliteist idea of what is or is not a proper proffessional trumpet. It does not support the idea that everyone needs to play a dime with a hole drilled in it to play in the upper range! It does not pander to the $5000 trumpet crowd at all. It does not represent Bach Strad's as the most popular pro-horn actualy used by actual pro's! This post almost goes against all of the current convention that is held by many internet experts. Does this list mean they are wrong? No it does not! What it means is that they are not seeing the big picture and are only telling half a truth. I am person that always seek truth in everything I do! I hate lies and hypocrites and do not have any respect for eanyone that push's an agenda that is not based 100% on the truth. This is why so many dislike what I post even if I borrow my information from non-copy righted sources that are far smarter then myself and much more knoldgeable. My post's do not support the agenda that many people on sites like this have. I am not selling anything not trumpets, not mouth pieces and not reading material. A lot of people on this site and many like it either are in the busines of selling themselfs or some proudct or are friends with someone that is. It is not in their best interest to look at history objectively since this might not fit into their agenda.

I love people and Ilove shareing and I love learning! This is why I come to various sites. I learn something everytime I come to a site like this! I like to help people. Knodlge is empowering and takes away the mystique of things and the mystery! Knoldge helps people make informed decisions and should be everyones goal to constantly improve them selfs in any way they can. Like wise we all should wish to understand the tool that brings us to this site and that is the trumpet! It is no different then what a sword represents to a Samari or to a Knight or light saber to a Jedi! Transperancy is what is lacking in this hobby since few want to speak the truth as this is not int heir best interest especialy if they sell anything! I am sorry if I am polarizing but I am always friendly and never seek to decieve even when I am completly wrong on a subject!

It's a perfectly valid and reasonable observation regarding the list. He never claimed that it pertained to the trumpet community as a whole.

[steevo]

Who is this "Knodlge" guy? What kind of trumpet does he play?

Uh, ok, you're welcome... - Don (young stupid zealous finger-pointing Bach-worshipping elitist lying hypocritical inexperienced mean unfriendly opaque Internet expert -- hope that covers it all, as I have to oil my WT and get to a dress rehearsal for a pit gig after finding a black hat to cover my balding crown)

p.s. I still think it's unethical, and hard to read anyway.

p.p.s. Anything published is automatically copyrighted, just not registered. I do not know all the Internet rules, however -- my experience involves 30+ years of writing various papers and research reports at college and work.

Capt.Kirk --

I made some pretty specific observations about that list, and if you'd like to try to refute them I think that would be a lot more effective than conspiracy theories and empty rhetoric.

Can you not just post a link? You seem to be somewhat of a troll around here - I do not appreciate this.
