Posted: Wed May 24, 2017 8:08 am Post subject: Stork crossover piece |
|
|
Hello Trumpet World!
I've recently been turned on to Stork mouthpieces and am liking them very much. I'm currently playing the following pieces:
2B+25C - B flat trumpet
2B+25D - C trumpet, E flat trumpet
4P - Piccolo
I'm looking for one more piece that could be somewhat of a crossover piece. Something that could be used when playing principal on very taxing pops shows or when playing musicals and the like. I usually prefer fairly full sounding equipment and am hesitant to go with anything that would be considered a "lead" piece.
I plan to call Stork and talk with them directly about this, but I'm wondering if any of you have any experience using the D+ cup for this type of application.
Thanks for your time!
Sincerely,
Dave _________________ Dave

D, D+, E, or E+ could all be options. Their D and E pieces are not all that shallow. In fact, the biggest difference between the two is the size of the 2nd cup going into the throat.
I know Marvin Stamm uses a 7D+25C for his jazz work. _________________ Isaiah 40:8

Stork VM2...about the same diameter as 1C, but cup seems more V shaped. _________________ “The world's No. 1 tennis player spends 90 percent of his time winning, while the world's No. 1 golfer spends 90 percent of his time losing. Golfers are great losers.”

I've used the 2D for all around playing for years. I bet Stork will suggest a 2C or 2D for you. As jaysonr said, the D and E cups are not that shallow. They're not at all like a lead piece, they just make things sound brighter in my experience. _________________ Richard Hastings

I played a Stork 2D+T for a year or so. I've been playing a Stork 1.25DT for the past year. The D cup is just medium-shallow, which for me, means it's easier to play, but still, it isn't a shallow lead piece. I think of it as an efficient all-around kind of mouthpiece. _________________ Bb Yamaha Xeno 8335IIS

I would consider using a Stork Studio Master VMS cup (in whatever you determine is the appropriate diameter).
It's a double-cup mouthpiece that can give a very round sound when you back off on the air, but the shallower first cup can really help for more taxing pops stuff. If you're used to pushing a lot of air, this mouthpiece can sound more sizzling than you would probably want for an orchestral pops concert.
I use a stock Stork Vacchiano 4B as my orchestral mouthpiece for both C and Bb, but I use a stock Stork Studio Master VMS 6 for pops repertoire. (Phyllis tells me that these mouthpieces have the identical rim.)
I'd give Phyllis a call and discuss it with her. |
