 |
|
Does anyone have experience putting say a 28 throat top on a 27 drill or larger backbore? The setup would be for a lead mouthpiece played on a 8310Z Shew trumpet.
Just wondering if there are any negative experiences as it hasn’t seemed to be problematic so far. |

Going that way usually has zero issues. The other way, 26 top on 27 backbone introduces a ledge that can make a hissing sound with certain players. It only happens with some players like one in 100.

Hey Jeff!!!
Steve Patrick told me he's been doing that for years and...yes...I actually like the feel of 28 to 27.

commercial V cupped mouthpieces with a tighter entrance to the throat seem to be better in a TWO PIECE and with a tighter top drill than bottom drill.
This is not a hard fast rule and everyone is different, but that's been my experience and several other notable lead/commercial players that I'm friends with or know of. |
Interesting. I have found my lead top, a Pickett Brass Paul Baron with a 28 throat, pairs best with a Kanstul copy of a Reeves Zinger backbore with a 27 throat. It also pairs well with a few other backbores, all which have 27 throats.
