This is the 4E. I hope that was the question you had. Thanks for playing along

It depends on how often you play. If you are playing your horn every day or almost every day, then every month is a good schedule. I recommend swabbing out your leadpipe and main tuning slide after every time you play. That really helps reduce the chances of red rot in your leadpipe etc. Thanks for playing along !

Lol 😂

Manda um bocal de trompete para mim 14a4a Yamaha

Pode ser o bocal usado mesmo o 14a4a para mim

thankfully no. monofiliment is softer than brass. I’ve used swabs for decades with no issues. Swabbing to keep dry rot at bay has helped for sure. happy playing !

@@TrumpetBiz hey Thank you for you reply .I saw that this was on here awhile wasn't sure I would get an answerThank you Anthony

One more question because I found this interesting .Can you use a lesser ' poundage " I think that's the correct word..like maybe 40 lbs. ? Thank you Anthony

Never mind I found the 80lb.

I had a hard time didn't know how to make a lasso ..had to look that up lol anyway I got it working it left the lead pipe nice and dry and clean btw. can you use it on the slides tuning slide 3rd slide ..just curious.Thank you Anthony

No. That's not needed. After playing, I just want to remove as much moisture (spit) that's in my trumpet. I do swab the third tuning slide, main tuning slide, and lead tube to dry them before I put my horns away. See the video on this channel on how to make a swab with stuff you probably have around the house if you'd like. Good luck !

The Bach 3C trumpet mouthpiece will have a deeper cup than the Bobby Shew Lead which is very shallow. Also, the width of the rim of a Bach 3C is 16.30 mm. The rim diameter of the Bobby Shew Lead is 16.54 mm. That's enough of a difference that you will feel it. The rim shape of both are "semi round" so that will feel the same. The backbore of the Bach will be bigger as I've found the tighter backbore of the Bobby Shew helps with compression and playing higher. The biggest differences you'll feel are the rim width being bigger on the Bobby Shew, the cup much shallower, and the tighter backbore. The Bobby Shew may help you play higher. For most people, I've seen a few notes higher, but not an octave higher. For me personally, it helped clear up my upper range and I gained a few notes higher as well. You may want to try a friends mouthpiece that has a wider rim like the Bobby Shew of 16.54 mm. If it feels comfortable, then you will probably do well with the Bobby Shew. Hope that helps you decide if it's for you or not.

@@TrumpetBiz that was the problem here in our country branded mouthpiece are limited we can't personally try the difference of both mouthpieces and if we want it we order it abroad but as I remember my teacher has a golden silver Allen vizutti that I tried to play but I can't go all out at the 2nd octave even I used to much air to sustain but I still struggling and as I go up it feels like my lips stop buzzing like its choked and stick in to the mouthpiece.im.still waiting to your advice Sir thanks for replying

@@EdTrumpetMelos Thank you for explaining that. I'm currently playing an Allen Vizzutti from Yamaha (not the gold plated one) after some time playing the Bobby Shew Lead. The rim size is even bigger than the Bobby Shew and your Bach 3C. It's 16.67 mm. It's got a bigger backbore than the Bobby Shew which I personally like. If you had trouble with the Allen Vizzutti, it may be that you need a tighter backbore to not overblow. Given that, the Bobby Shew Lead may be what you need. The increase in rim size will be the biggest adjustment for you. My advice is talk with your teacher first, and if they think it's okay, then go ahead. It sounds like it'll help your lead playing. Best of luck to you !

@@TrumpetBiz btw Sir the other Allen vizutti the silver one, that was a good for me but I don't know what size is it and because of limited time I never test it in upper register cause we're in the church that time, I'm confused it's because for me maybe the bobby shew lead is better than Allen vizutti Sir? So this time I made up my mind I'll buy the bobby shew and if it's hard for me to adjust then I'll swap it to the Allen vizutti silver😆 thank you very much for giving me some advice Sir🙂

Best of luck with your playing !@@EdTrumpetMelos

Nevermind

Well yeah works for any mouthpice

Surprisingly, I prefer the Bobby Shew Lead. Even though I was used to a flatter rim of Schilke mouthpieces (used to use an 11). It just feels a little better to me. I should spend more time playing the Denis Wick as it is a very nice mouthpiece. Sorprendentemente, prefiero Bobby Shew Lead. Aunque estaba acostumbrado a un borde más plano de las boquillas Schilke (solía usar una 11). Simplemente me siento un poco mejor. Debería dedicar más tiempo a tocar la Denis Wick porque es una boquilla muy bonita.

Apologies for the late reply. It's definitely been on our list to try. Just got an Allen Vizzutti from Yamaha and will be posting a review on that soon. Thanks for playing along !

Fat and full sound is great, definitely something to keep. I recall having to go to a flatter rim for marching band because of all the moving around. Not sure if that's something that you need. I went from a Bach 5C to a Schilke 11. The rim diameter is a about half a millimeter smaller than your 1 1/2 C, but the rim is flatter. The cup is a touch shallower (not a lot) than you are currently playing on. The slightly shallower cup and slightly tighter rim may help your range a bit without sacrificing your fat sound. I found I could project a little bit better when outside. When in the stands, I played a Schilke 14A4A as I was stationary. It's shallow cup and tighter backbore really helped project. It's a bit wider of a rim, so definitely try different ones to see what suits you best. Thanks for playing along !

I wouldn’t recommend it. Napkins and paper towels while great at absorbing fluid, can scratch the delicate finish of your horn. They’ll be tiny scratches. Like if you ever look at a dark colored car that’s been run through a drive thru car wash. The finish have these very fine scratches and swirls. A fluffy towel would be better if you don’t have microfiber clothes. Thanks for playing along !

@@TrumpetBiz Thank you for your time! I ended up buying a cloth like yours :)

Great points !

I found it took a bit of adjustment to the shallow cup to not be so sharp. Extending the main tuning slide and trying to relax helped. Good luck with your new horn and mouthpiece !

@@TrumpetBizyes, relaxing your embouchure is the key with the Shew lead, as it is easy to choke off your airflow with it.

Smart !

Great to hear Ryan. I bet the "sizzle" of the shallow cup really helps you project when outside. Thanks !

how does it compare? how is it better in marching band?

@@lvhuriel I found projection was key when in marching band. The Lead has a shallower cup and a tighter backbore than the Jazz. So for me, the Lead projects better as it's a bit brighter. When I marched in the Macy's Day Thanksgiving day parade, it was tough to keep in tune due to the cold so the Jazz may have been a better choice for that day. One thing to note, the rounded rim may not be as comfortable for you if you are used to a flatter rim like a Schilke etc. I found something with a slightly flatter rim was more forgiving when having to do dance moves etc. while trying to play high. Hope that helps, happy playing.

It does look like a Bach on the outside for sure. I found that the rim shape was much rounder than what I recall of Bachs. It makes me use less pressure as it can dig a bit. But that's just me as I came from a Schilke 11 which has a much flatter rim than the Jazz and the Lead.

The Shew Jazz is essentially a tweaked Bach 3C. Rounder rim, same cup, altered backbore.

@@IndianOutlaw1870 So would the Shew Lead be similar to a Bach 3E?

I was saying that to remind myself to wash the inside of the mouthpiece well to get rid of all the polish so I don't eat that stuff. I didn't rinse the inside completely clean of the polish once and the taste was terrible !

Thanks, will be doing some playing videos of these mouthpieces soon.

It’s neither. It’s just a chamois type microfiber so you can use it anywhere. There’s no chemicals in the fabric. Hope that helps.

@@TrumpetBiz ok, thanks!!

A Mellowphone is more like a French horn than a trumpet so I would look closely at the receiver of your mellowphone. Modern ones can accept a trumpet mouthpiece. If yours does, then the Bobby Shew Jazz would be far better as it has a deeper cup and the Lead would be way too bright. Again, you may want to look at a Mellowphone specific mouthpiece to make sure it fits, and most importantly, sounds like a Mellowphone should. Good luck with your playing !

@@TrumpetBiz yeah i use a trumpet mouthpiece and it’s disgusting and it’s impossible to play high notes with it

Play a Yamaha 14F4 Mellophone Mouthpiece.

Forgot to mention, you'll find more success with matching the inner rim diameter of your french horn mouthpiece with your mellowphone mouthpiece. You can do this by seeing if your french horn mouthpiece maker also makes mellowphone mouthpieces. Also, the rim shape being a little flatter I found makes life easier when marching. Nothing worse than taking a slight misstep and banging your mouthpiece against your lips. If your marching band performs in cold weather, also look for a plastic or nylon model as well.

Hi Vision, I replied to your comment on the Shew Lead vs Jazz video so hope that helps. I wouldn’t recommend the Lead on your Mellowphone (even if it fits) as it is pretty bright with the shallow cup. Good luck with your playing !

Well, I haven't touched a Bach mouthpiece in a very long time, sorry about that. I played on a Schilke 11 for many years and even played with a 14A4a for awhile. The 14A4a would be the closest to the Wick 4E for cup depth but very different in width (the Schilke 14A4a is much wider). I find the inner rim of the Schilke mouthpieces (in general) have a little more rounded inner rim than the Wick which gives me a little more room to move. The Wick "feels" to me like it has a wider rim than the Schilke (both are much flatter than what I recall of Bach mouthpieces. I think that's because the Wick doesn't roll off the outer rim as much as the Schilke does. The Wick has a V cup which you can see but I personally don't feel a difference between it and something like a Yamaha Bobby Shew Lead (both are very shallow and play bright for me until I spend some time with them). Good luck with your playing !

Olá Isaías, Se eu entendi sua pergunta, você está perguntando qual é melhor para notas baixas. Esse seria o Bobby Shew Jazz, pois o tamanho do copo é muito mais profundo do que o Bobby Shew Lead. Espero que ajude. Hello Isaias, If I understand your question, you are asking which is better for low notes. That would be the Bobby Shew Jazz as the cup size is much deeper than the Bobby Shew Lead. Hope that helps.

Thank you AJ !

Two abrasive comments for one video. Okaaaay.

Congrats ! How do you like the flatter rim?

You are right Bryan. The Denis Wick "V" shape isn't as cupped as other mouthpieces. It's subtle, but it's noticeable when you have a "regular" mouthpiece next to it. My lips don't notice it and I don't personally bottom out. I've got thinner lips I've been told so your mileage may vary. What do you play on?
