- Brae Grimes from Melbourne Brass and Woodwind explains the basics of mouthpiece selection. DISCLAIMER: While this information will work for most people, there really is no certainty to mouthpiece selection. For custom fitting and mouthpiece trials, please contact one of our stores so they can assist you based on your needs.
Step 1. Invest all of your money into a variety of mouthpieces
Step 2. Try each of them for extended amounts of time
Step 3. Select the one you like
Step 4. Try not to notice your bank account is empty, your wife and children have left you, and that your jazzy trumpet playing was never going to provide any stability for a modern family anyway.
Yeah, they've gotten expensive. I remember they(Bach mouthpieces) were $12.99 in the early to mid 80's now theyre $50 or more, but they let you try them out before buying.
Thats deep man
This is depressing.
you can get mp's for like $20
I settled on a Bach 1D Megatone about ten years ago. I get the best tone using that mouthpiece.
Hi Brae,
Very interesting and very informative with very good sound advice. You got my attention as soon as you mentioned the Bach #3 because that is exactly what I use and have done for some years. However I have enlarged the throat of mine out to a much larger bore to improve my blow rather than change mouthpieces. I have done this to several #3's in many different throat sizes so that I can properly compare them. In the early 1900's this was a common practice and even Vincent Bach did this for his custom mouthpiece customers. Even after Bach started manufacturing his big range of mouthpieces, he chose the drill size of #27 as a pilot hole and would ream them out according to his customers needs. His mouthpieces became so popular that buyers of his mouthpieces and not knowing about this art of adjusting the throat just accepted them as they were.
I see that David Monette is using much larger throat sizes (#18- #22) and I believe personally that this is one of the main benefits of his very expensive mouthpieces. A very good reason for not ignoring history and accepting that "Everything is old is new again" As the count would put on the end "Clink, Clink" Thanks again for your enjoyable video. Richard Autenzio.
PS. Chris Botti's old Bach #3 Mouthpiece from the 30's has it throat enlarged to a #15.
My windsor trumpet came with a 7C mouthpiece and it works fine. When I looked at trumpet mouthpieces I found they cost almost as much as my trumpet did!
Brae, I love this video! John.
The 3 F on the lower register sounded like you were hitting the trumpet with a hammer.
We trumpet players probably overestimate the difference of sound to the listener He is blessed with lips that don't go far into the mouthpiece I think because even his F mpc still sounds just as free blowing while for many there would be bottoming out. I would say as listener to go for what is plays well and is most comfortable to the player. Those little timbre differences seem suddenly overrated as to me as older player.
I got way too excited when he played on the 10 1/2 C.
Used to play trumpet in my young years.Only 5 of us,this was my happiest time in my life!Now I am older and listening to wery soft trumpet and style Like CHRIS BOTTI STYLE
Thanks for doing the vid.
My brother has just loaned me a Jupiter trumpet with 1c mouthpiece. I haven't played since about 1963 (used to play cornet for about 5 years in bras bands), and although fit and well, I'm now 67.
I'd like to see if I can resume playing a bit with a sax player friend. I'm looking for the easiest mouthpiece I can get. Is the 1c about as easy as they get?
He said a cornet is easier than a trumpet. Should I switch to cornet? (I love the trumpet sound and look and all its history.)

Can you do video on bore/throat size and it's effects? Great video thanks!
I use a 1 1/2C because I play 3rd, 4th, and 5th a lot
I use 1 1/2c but play lead/1st with no issues
@@nottjohn01 Its all about the person
Good review!
The 3B sounds best for you to me.
Would you say that there is any difference in suitable mouthpieces depending on age? Or skill?
I played this song when I was in middle school!
Any tips on selecting a French Horn mouthpeice?
which mouthpiece do you think had less resistance?
Which type of mouthpiece is best for Bb trumpet.?
Really great. I already have a 7B, C, EW and will get a 3C Rich sound (heavy) for practicing. I'm thinking about getting a 7C Rich sound (heavy)
Do you have any experience on the heavy mouthpieces?
Ps: I prefer the shallower one for high notes, obviously... but mainly because it is EW, it has a wider rim allowing me to put more pressure on my mouth and making high notes easier;)
Very good info. The only problem is that even in those Bach 3 sizes. None have the same rim design. At least I have read as such. If all had the same newer Bach 3C or Mount Vernon 3C rim. The comfort part could be solved also. Seems the non Mount Vernon ,10 1/2 C/ Bach 3C/ 1 1/2C along with the 1 1/2 B Bach have the more comfortable rims. Not sure how these sizes would pan out in the older 1920//1930's mount Vernon versions.
That's why I play Yamaha mouthpieces. The rims are the same.
Very informative,thanks,dude.
What about going all the way deep with an A cup? Bach numbers the smaller they are the bigger the mouthpiece. A 1A is the biggest mouthpiece they make. 10-1/2C is pretty popular. Bob O'donnell of Hanna Barbera cartoons, Ice Follies and tons of studio work in LA plays that or a facsimile of it. Also Rafael Mendez on that according to his son Robert who I met a few years ago.
I want second hand trumpet please help
The Xstream XE .575 ID, would that be the equivalent to the Boch 3E ?
I dont even play a brass instrument I play flute but good vid
How much cost for this type mouthpiece? Plz comment
So I'm a weirdo and am going from trombone and euphonium to trumpet or cornet. Id love a mouthpiece that makes it easier to switch between these instruments. A 1c sound about right? I also play sax and flute so getting a similar enough mouth piece size would help greatly. Thanks for any input.
Same here, I switch back and forth between my Trombone and Trumpet often, especially during practice sessions. I am trying to find something that makes and easier transition. If I play my Trombone first its so weird going to the smaller mouthpiece. Doesn't bother me as much if I play the trumpet first
Sorry, which trumpet? I do not understand.
Thanks, very helpful
Brae Grimes. Hello, I saw your store on the wall of the tube second hand. Please write me how much they cost and how they can be viewed. and even if you have a pipe ejection donate opinion is very necessary. with respect .
This tune slaps
How did I know it was gonna be pictures at an exhibition?
I play a 1-1/4 C but recently I've seen the same mouthpiece with a bigger throat and backbore. I do want to get a broad sound . Would getting of that help?
I play a 7C
Anyone tried the Bach Artisan 3C/ 1 1/2C and 1 1/2B mouthpieces? Does rims feel better or play the same as these newer CNC made regular Bach mouthpieces?
Love the Artisan 3c.
what can you say about a number 6 besson
Nice!
What mouthpiece is recommended for lip trills? I have the 5C and its not the easiest
Jose Vargas -AGuyFromMississippi- It's not the mouthpiece. It is in the development!
what is it that he is playing? a scale,a song?
i think it was a concert eflat (trumpet's f) scale and then the song was pictures at an exibition
Can someone suggest the best mouthpiece for people with big lips, just like me
OK it's not a trumpet mouthpiece A 130S might work but it is a tuba mouthpiece
Nicholas' Trombone this isnt even a tuba video lol
I know it is not a tuba,but that is about all you can get big mouthpieces on trumpet is smaller and takes a smaller mouthpiece
I play a schilke 20 and a Bach 1e. Those are in the large side.
Disappointing,,,,maybe because I didnt watch till the end...no mention of Jettone CONVEX vs CONCAVE and the really different sounds it produces compared to BACH whatever....I have a Jettone custom 6A and it sounds NOTHING like a Bach mouthpiece no matter the size.
hey man really resourceful video but your intro is so long
Sounds same
ah! too bright!
I WILL NEVER USE A VINCENT BACH MOUTHPIECE.
è meglio che vendi gli strumenti invece di fare lezioni
I just discovered the reason why Jazz is so boring. It has a name: 10 1/2C
Zarra Jester sure because you know so much about what mouthpieces jazz players use
Jazz isn't boring however there is a good chance that the person trying to play it might be.
Anyone who thinks jazz is boring should consider an ear transplant.
