Seeing If this too is a beginner mouthpiece?

No such thing as a "beginner mouthpiece". You play what fits your face and fits your horn. The reason band directors mandate (wrongly, in my opinion) a certain size is because it's dead average and cheap. So you get students with 3C or 5C or 7C by Bach when a 10-1/2C Bach or 11 Schilke might work a lot better.

Not enough band directors are trumpet players who get it.

How old is your beginner? How big is your beginner?
If your beginner is young and slight, I might shy away from Bach B cups (because of the larger backbore).

Shameless. Post count = Marketplace.

I'm suspecting there will be some mouthpieces for sale in marketplace soon... call it a premonition

Why can't there be a verified user or higher post count requirement to post to the marketplace? I've seen way too many shitposts just to get the necessary 5 in.

Slightly off topic but,

The Stork Vacchiano line is essentially variations on the Bach 5B with the 4 size having the most true to origin rim. Also I think the Curry BC cup is based on the popular Bach 1.5C rim with 5B underpart and a 24 throat custom setup.

I'd argue the 5B is a better mouthpiece on the cornet than the trumpet, in that it gets more of a classic cornet sound than most commonly used trumpet pieces do when mounted on a cornet shank. That said, it can sound really nice for either, provided the rim works for you. A lot of people don't get along with it.

regarding a higher minimum post requirement... all we would get is more inane posts from people trying to get to the new minimum

I think some vetting from current members is more appropriate that any forum revisions needed. I see a guy selling a committee for $1000 and he has 5 posts, I'm calling BS, and not taking the time.

Just because somebody joined TH JUST to sell something is not necessarily a bad reason to join

Caveat Emptor or however that goes

I think a probationary period of membership longer than six months would help. I agree that a higher post count will only make things more painful. Also, veteran members have been complaining for a long time about this and nothing has been done.

Maybe we do away with minimum posts/minimum membership etc., and just do our own personal vetting. That way, we don't have to deal with reading inane posts.

For example, before I buy from or sell to someone, I read their posts. If they don't have very many or they're not contributing anything worthwhile, I don't deal with them.

If we all do that, newbies will likely get the idea that they really have to be contributing members to get other members to work with them.

Anyway, just my $.02

Do people know what "enabling" is and how doing it just encourages more of the same?
