I guess that depends on the audience. I respectfully disagree. I love the Bach sound, but I think many players leave Bach equipment to gain a broader palette of sounds. In general, I think we give equipment too much credit.

They probably didn’t buy the right Bach then. I think it usually goes the other way. People leave bach and lose colors |

I suppose you prefer to dream on too much. |

Then you did what we all should do... try out a variety of options, choose what sounds and plays best, then stick with it. For you, that was obviously Bach. Others have the right to do the same, and, for them, the best match may not be Bach. Some of us have explored the options in the Bach line and moved on. For those who remain loyal to Bach because they have found the right fit, I think that is great.

| Anyway, it's only just now that I understand the popularity of the Bach 3C(olors), the rainbow mouthpiece. |

See? They’re “better.” And now we understand why.🙄
Maybe it’s my age, but lately it seems like a lot of threads here degenerate into this sort of silliness. Maybe that’s why there seems to have been a departure from TH of members who are truly accomplished and knowledgeable.

I think it's just a case of exhausting all the available worthwhile topics...

I’m fairly certain all trumpets, cornets and mouthpieces are all the exact same. Marketing is flawless and has us all fooled

I follow this rule. If it is a cornet, then I just use the Cleveland C. If trumpet, why then it is the Cleveland T. There are no sizes, no variables and no questions. They made that mouthpiece for their instrument, right? It must be the best.
