How!!
Didn’t mention the worst thing about the 7c - sharp rim!
Haha! Definitely valid! Although the best fix for that though is to not play Bach at all, and find something like a Yamaha or Schilke mouthpiece!
😢I hard getting other mouthpieces in Nigeria 😢
I just love it
about to say is that cab calloway song
Hello, great content thank you for all you do! What do you think of Yamaha 14B4 ?? Any experience with Yamaha mouthpieces? I have been playing for 4 years
Thank you so much! The 14B4 is very similar to the Bach 3C, in terms of the rim and the cup. TL;DR: It's typically a very reliable mouthpiece! The main difference is that the Yamaha doesn't have as much bite, meaning it's going to feel smoother on the lips than a Bach. "Bite" is not a term I mentioned in the video - since I focused on Bach's numbering system and Bachs generally have the same bite - but it's the term used to define the point there the rim turns into the cup. Bach mouthpieces have a more defined point between the rim and cup (in other words, they have more bite) whereas Yamaha mouthpieces are more rounded ans seamless between the rim and the cup (they have less bite). The bite is one of the aspects of the mouthpiece that is typically up to a player's preference, whereas the dimensions of the rim and the cup have more quantifiable effects on the aspects of playing described in the video. Thank you for the question! I hope it helps!
@@MSGrantMusic this is spot on, no wonder I find my yamaha bobby shew lead so much more comfortable than my bach 3c.
This is awesome!!
Love it 😍
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard
Thank you so much, Carly!
Thanks!
Thank YOU!! That's such a kind thing for you to do!!
Bless you sir! Thanks for sharing!
Thank YOU for watching!
Incredible
Thank you!
hey man! i’m 5 years out of high school where i used to play on a small bore tenor trombone with a 6.5AL mouthpiece. now i’ve picked up the trumpet so that i can teach my little brother how to play before he enters high school! i’m currently using a yamaha 11b4 mouthpiece which came with the trumpet, should i switch to a 5b or 3c considering that i’ve had previous experience with brass instruments? and which mouthpiece should my little brother start with? he’s turning 13 this month! thanks again!
following up!!
Hi, John! Thanks for your patience. It's ultimately up to you, but the more experience you have, the more variables are at play, but - at the same time - the more you can usually handle mouthpieces with shallower cups. I can't tell you definitively what to do because I'd have to hear you play to know how your experience has affected your growth, but for most of my students in that situation (especially if they switched from a trombone), I'd ask them to try out a 3c and see if we hear or feel any differences - particularly if they sounded any warmer compared to the 11b4. But even if you do switch, hold onto the 11b4... it might help you in jazz band or marching band down the road! About your brother, Happy Birthday to him! I'd try out the 5b for him and see how he does with it!
@@MSGrantMusic sounds good!! thank you so much!!
Practice your scales kids!
"7.8/10 too much water"
Trumpet joke aside, this sounds very nice
Please I couldn't get 5b or i could get is 5c, are they dsame.
The 5c has a shallower cup. You'll be alright with a 5c, but if you want a 5b there is a link in the description of this video taking you to an Amazon listing of the 5b!
Sir if you are still in a good mood could you please upload just a 1 minute of sample to seem like French Army Medieval charge horn sounds please? I want to include them in one great video game about 100 years old and I would like like that some nice notes to seem like charge or move or retreat but every around is more like viking or from lotr movie or like dark evil or even Civil War.. But none about the glorious trumpets like I ve heard on some 60s film "El CId" I wish you return to give a sample like that mate
I come back to this from time to time :3 Wish I had been more confident and mature back then to really give it my all. Lol There's one part where I can hear myself clearly XD I always listen for that part bc Mr Holley complimented me one practice for being loud, in the front, and hitting the notes correctly (Or was it Mr Barton..idk) Thanks for keeping this up! It's nice to look back on <3
Sound. Bachs have too much bite for me. And yes, a brittle sound. Even a 3C. I've played Bachs for decades -- amateur -- and had no formal training. I drilled Arban's as a kid. I'm on the way back to playing and it's only been the last few years that I have been trying different pieces. I wish I had tried a wider range of products when I was younger. I recently picked up a Wick 1-1/4C from a remainders bin. I get a fantastic tone, even in the transition above the staff. It's the only piece so far that lets me lip up a pedal C.
Valid, for sure! The bite is almost worth an entire video in itself, especially since, like you said, there is such a wider range of mouthpiece options nowadays. Certainly the Wick and Schilke mouthpieces feel quite different from the Bach in comparison. A lot of mouthpieces feel "softer" than the Bach mouthpieces because of the bite.

Nice! I commend you for taking the challenge in the video!
I have been waiting for this video for a hot minute! Excited for what’s next!! 🎉
Haha, yeah I'm sorry 😅 I appreciate your patience. Thank you for watching my videos!

Hello sir , I really desire to learn how to play trumpet, yet I don't know how to go about It , the trumpet am training myself with is not producing harmonize sound I need a help on how to go about it sir!
Hi! The first video in this series is a "How To Play The Trumpet" video for beginners, so if you haven't seen it yet, it might be helpful to watch it! Here is the video: th-cam.com/video/FFJ4FGlW5Zo/w-d-xo.html I'm also going to be releasing a lot more videos later this year about what to focus on to improve on the trumpet, so if you're subscribed to my channel then you'll see them when they come out. I hope they help you as well!
Good info here! I stopped using Bach mouthpieces a couple months in. Every beginner should watch this
Gay🏳️🌈
I play on a yamaha 16c4, which is equivalent to bach 11/2 c, all the way from my 7th grade year until now, my 5th year of college. I started on a 7c in 5th grade. This makes sense why I never had the problem you explain at 4:15. In fact, the band director in the early years was always telling me to play louder and was routinely baffled why I couldn't play loud but had a fantastic tone, but the other 30 trumpets had the opposite problem.
Bro played the Trumpbone
After a bit I actually kind of like 7c.
Parents across the world agree. Sound is important. 3c is my most used. Started in 1984 still use it. (Yes, there were years that started with a 19 and not 20). I always thought the hand up was the conductor giving me a long distance high 5 for drowning out the clarinets. Also, where have you been? Missed your content.
I appreciate that! Lol, and who doesn't love a long-distance high-five? Thank you for watching my videos and waiting so long for the next installment. I've got many videos planned out for the future, so it's just a matter of scripting and recording them now. And haha, I grew up in the 90s and have been involved with music since then, so I've seen the 1900s and can confirm that they're real!
I agree. I started with a Bach 6C. I never liked the 7C. somehow, in high school in the 60s I switched to a Bach 2 1/4 C. I played this for a long time and remember back 60 years ago there wasn’t that much discussion about mouthpieces. The larger mouth be served me well, but then I switched to a Monette 4BS which I liked a lot but then my trumpet work trail off and life went a different direction. Remember, however, if what I heard is correct that Jimmy Tamburini in Detroit played a 10 1/2 C. Oh well.!
It's always been my experience that playing a larger mouthpiece will build your range in the long run. Switching to a smaller mouthpiece later from there is like when Goku and Piccolo take their training weights off.
The fact that you used a Dragonball/Dragonball Z reference to describe mouthpieces gives me new life. But yes! I've had a number of students experience this firsthand!
@@MSGrantMusic I'm happy you appreciated it! Cheers
I don't even play trumpet but this was super informative and well edited!
Thank you so much for watching and supporting! That means a lot, especially coming from a non-trumpeter watching a trumpet video!
0:00 I use a bobby shew lead for most of my playing unless playing below the staff i use a 3c. I would however highly recommend buying a harrelson spectratone or modular mouthpiece where you can change the cup, throat,backbore and gap of the mouthpiece. They can advise you what choices to go for, his trumpets and mouthpieces he builds are the ultimate. I play on a harrelson bravura that I got second hand recently, it projects amazingly against yamaha and bach strads in the band I play in with very little effort.
Too expensive for most of us 😪
They are expensive mouth pieces, but you are getting limitless combinations, unless you can try mouthpieces in store. Mouthpieces are about £70 each now, and if you have three, you've already spent that much.
The Bach numbering system is counterintuitive. I used Shilke for the most part up until last year. Then I wound up using a Bach 1 1/2c last year after having used roughly the Schilke equivalent (the 14) for years. Now, I did use a 13 A4a for an outdoor concert the other day where endurance and being able to project were more important. Edit to add, I only used the 7c for my first two years playing, then it was the Schilke 14 through high school and most of college (experimented a bit with the Bach 1 1/2c, but reverted back to the 14 after about a year).
The Bach trumpet mouthpiece line is a mess when it comes to measurement. The C cups are not consistent from size to size. So a 3C is not the same depth as a 5C, which is not the same as a 10/1/2C or a 7C. The 3C is actually the shallowest “C” cup out of all the “C” cup classes in the Bach lineup.
@@tonyyao4785 It really is a mess. One of my instructors grew up with the pre-merger stuff. After dealing with the inconsistencies between supposed identical mouthpieces after the merger with Conn-Selmer, he gave up on Bach mouthpieces (and any of the post-merger Bach trumpets). People act like the Bach Strad is the pinnacle of classical trumpets, but it doesn't deserve that reputation. Maybe it deserved it at one time, but it certainly doesn't today. The only reason I currently use a Bach mouthpiece (1 1/2C) is because it seemed like I had more accuracy (compared to the Schilke I was using, now that I have about a month off before rehearsals resume, I'm going to reevaluate my mouthpiece choice and give the Schilke another shot) in the middle space C to top of the staff G range when I started playing again after a hiatus where I hadn't had time to maintain a regular practice regimen.
@@karlrovey I know a lot of people use Pickett brass and curry equivalents of the Bach mouthpieces and they are amazing. Ultra consistent across the line and sound a lot better on them. I personally use hammond design most of the time, but I still use both brands from time to time.
i love how there are small channels like this that edit videos better than some channels that have 1m+ subs
I really appreciate that!
While getting my music ed degree, the trumpet teacher recommended the 7c mouthpiece with the director drilling out the mouthpiece with a #23 drill bit..... I'm a trombone player and he had directed a very successful jr high band and high school band before being a trumpet teacher in college.
@@edsherrod5216 trumpet teachers are so ill informed sometimes, a 7c isn't a one size fits all, it needs to match your lips and embouchure, denture structure, bach technology is 100 years old and just mass produced, no laser cnc machining for tolerances.
The thing I see so many people get wrong is that sound doesn't automatically mean you're a master of the trumpet. I'm exagerating here a bit but, you can sound like arturo sandoval when you start and you have no idea what the basics are.
I'm a woodwind btw
Let's run the likes to 1k... I've been with 7c all my life and just can't wait to know the ones you use
1:58 Exactly like you worded it. A mouthpiece can only HELP you reach higher notes. It doesn't magically ''unlock'' extra range. In the end, mouthpieces are ofcourse personal preferences. I do agree that 7c is a terrible beginner mouthpiece. 3c or even something down to 1 1/4c is way better to start with. But once you can play your instrument a little bit, go to a large music store and try out different mouthpieces! It's also really recommendable to try different brands!
Thank you for your thoughtful comments and for watching the video! It's absolutely true once you gain some experience that trying out multiple options from multiple brands can make a huge difference!
Exactly. Switching between a concert band mouthpiece and a jazz mouthpiece would only get me one to two more notes, but it really helped with endurance, volume, and ease of playing in the upper register.
i use a bach 1-1/2c and ive been playing trumpet for 4 years
That's awesome! I hope you're enjoying it; I find playing trumpet to often be quite fun and rewarding.
Wish I'd received this advice when I first starting playing over two decades ago! I did switch to a 3C in high school, but I do have to wonder where I'd be if I had started on a 5B 🤔 Also, love your sense of humor in this video! 🤣 I promise I won't tell the woodwinds anything!
Thanks a ton! Yeah, thankfully if you can get past the first few years, your added experience can help direct you on a more helpful path!
