I played some really great shows on an ACB 3C. It's the best 3Cish piece for me I've tried. I also really really like the 1.25CS. MV3C = sweet. He's got a lot of variation in his designs and there's something for everybody and options for plating and blank. FWIW the TA2 and 3CS did not feel good to me. It's like choosing which candy you like on Halloween.

Does anyone know what the difference is between the ACB MV-3C & the ACB MV-3CS?

My guess is a different backbone or throat but I can't find anything on their web site that clarifies that. It may also mean nothing as some manufactures don't use a letter or number if it is a standard size. Right now the MV-3CS is on 'flash sale' and I'm back on an old, old Bach Corp. 3C.

The C and CS are different rims, so the width of the rim or the inner bite or something along those lines are going to differ.

The MV3CS is the MV3C rim with the "3CS" cup - so a bit shallower:

Quote:
MV3C rim with my CS cup -- it's slightly smaller and also has a much more efficient entrance into the throat. This helps the articulation and adds a lively "zip" to the sound. This mouthpiece is especially good on vintage trumpets or overly dark horns to make them "speak." Paired with the MO backbore for a balanced feel.


(description from Standard Series Mouthpieces

From what I remember it was quite a popular mouthpiece

This should be what you are looking for - looks to be in the size of the cup in depth.

I have an ACB3CS ( not the MV ) and the S designates a modified cup to make it more efficient. He has a chart in pdf form of all his mouthpieces, showing the cup and rim sizes, what the S means, etc. Go to the MOUTHPIECE shop now page and scroll down until you see the info on the chart, then click on it for the pdf.

I also Have several ACB mouthpieces. Really liked the large Morse shank mp I got for trying out flugelhorns some years ago. Wound up with a small Morse horn and got that version of the same mouthpiece. It is good but not as much heft as the large one. I also have a 1.5C Acrylic and metal top with the symphonic backbore. I find it a little softer on lips than a Bach. I got the acrylic for playing in the cold. Liked the piece and got the metal top too. I find it to be the perfect match for my Yamaha YTR-6335 trumpet. It helps open up that horn a bit.
Great mouthpieces.

Does anyone play a mpc. from his "Signature" series? I have a Heim copy (Miles') and it has a sound to die for. Not my go-to mpc., it's for specific uses, but a great mpc.

I also find ACB mouthpieces great for certain applications. I use the modular ones, a 1.25C with the symphonic backbore for my Yamaha YTR-6335. It opens up the horn nicely and seems to match the touch gap needs of this horn. Makes the transition from my Schilke X3L (with a Bach 1.5C and slightly enlarged throat) easy. I also have a couple flugel pieces and a cornet piece that I use. Great people to work with because they understand your needs. They are great at finding solutions when you present them with a mouthpiece problem to solve.

Although I don't play it anymore, I played an ACB TA2 for a while, and it was very good. In reply to the poster's original question: I suspect that Trent's mouthpieces fly under the radar partly because of lack of big-name endorsees, which makers such as Yamaha, GR, and Marcinkiwicz have.

the major differences are the Monette is short shank, bigger throat, different backbore. The rim will be somewhat similar but the cup shape will also be different. Basically everything is different.

I have a 1.25CS A Short Cornet MP for my ACB Doubler’s LB Cornet and simply love it.

Ordered a matching 1.25CS MDF while ordering my ACB Doubler’s Flugelhorn.


So far I am impressed.

Does anyone know if all of the CS cups are the same shape? For some reason, I just don't like the 1.25CS, even though I really like the 1.25C. It's not that it's shallower, there is just something about how it blows that I find odd, but that's just me.

Personally, I have preferred the standard ACB ones over the few MV ones I've tried. The MVs sounded nice, quite a 'creamy' sound, but I found the comparable standard model to be more efficient and flexible in the sound.

I LOVE the TA2 top. Such a great option for a 3C ish lead mouthpiece. Much more forgiving than most downstairs that others but super easy to play upstairs. Caveat - mine has a #22ish throat in it though, which is a personal preference, and I use an MO backbore with it.

I personally didn't like how it played with the MT backbore which I belive is what the 1-piece version uses. I think if you didn't like how the TA2 played, you'll probably change your mind if you put the S or MO backbore on it, you can move a bit more air, and it will put out that fat sound to match.

ACB make great mouthpieces and are very competetively priced as well, compared to most other makers. Warburtons are $125 now for tops, so ACB are about $45 bucks cheaper for a top at full price, but they also really frquently have discounts going. I think several times I've bought tops they've ended up being like $65ish which is a real bargain for what you're getting.

The list all the other CS cups as a modified C that is shallower than regular.. they have both a MV3CS and regular 3CS that are listed with Differing cup depths.

Thinking for this you should call them have a chat…

The CS also has a slightly tighter backbore, which makes a difference in blow
