|
|
I currently play Yamaha 16C4-GP for band and orchestra settings and a Yamaha 16C4 for principle parts and section trumpet in jazz. I use a Schilke 12B4 for lead trumpet in jazz. For cornet, i use a Blessing 7C for cornet playing and a Yamaha 14F4 for flugelhorn.I also use a custom Schilke 16C4x for my piccolo trumpet playing. Any suggestions for new mouthpieces for any of any of the horns would be appreciated. _________________ Schilke B1 Bb

A much more efficient lead mouthpiece/big band/picc would be a Marcinkiewicz E8 R. Baptist. The rim is wider, throats is 28, backbore is more efficient. After getting used to blowing less air/muscling less and letting the shallower piece to do the work for you, I feel you'd experience a marked increase in playing endurance, and possibly range. _________________ TPT: Nova LA

I know someone else is bound to ask this, so why not jump in first...
Why do you want to change any/all of them?
Is there something specific you're looking for from a change, or is it simply that you fancy trying out something different for the sake of it? |

I’m always looking for something new and different to give me the widest array of sounds possible and I just like mouthpieces because behind every good player is a good mouthpiece. _________________ Schilke B1 Bb

You seem to have your own thing going, able to swotch rim contours and IDs without a problem. I would explore flugle mouthpieces, maybe something deeper from Curry, Warburton, Stork or Reeves. You might also explore a larger backbore for your C trumpet, maybe one of the Schilke symphony series with large backbore or laskey? |
