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. _________________ King Super 20 Trumpet; Sov 921 Cornet
