Does anyone know the Bach equivalent of a Conn 5 mouthpiece? The Conn 5 came with a trumpet I recently acquired but not much info available on Conn mouthpieces on websites like Mouthpiece Express. Thanks!

The Conn Loyalist can offer some help. What era is your horn and mouthpiece? It makes a difference in sizes.

Thanks for the link Doc! That Conn 5 mouthpiece came with a 1947 refurbished Olds Standard Bb trumpet. I doubt that Conn 5 is original with that trumpet.

Somewhere in the Conn Loyalist website is a pdf of the Conn mouthpiece book, which goes into how mouthpieces work, how they should be fitted, how their intonation reacts with different players, and I believe some size information.

Exactly what I linked to above.
