Bach's numbering system is one of the most inconsistent and unpredictable in the industry, the differences in rims between models can really mess up some players who need a consistent profile to work with their face. Binder dundat.
I didn't have one. These were the ones I had when making the video. I wanted to try out a 5C but it seemed >7 ones worked better. The 2 came with a used trumpet and the 3 was shipped incorrectly...
For slower (and classical type of) music, a regular depth or a bit deeper cup is usually preferred. Shallower cups are good for faster notes (but with reduced tonal color, i.e., bland). Larger rims deliver sounds with depths, too. All these are just my guesses and generalizations. One has to try out since own sound characteristics differ.
weidesvideo 17c please tell me where i can buy the made in china 17c trumpet mouthpiece. I just saw the price for the original 17c genuine and i must say although the mouthpiece looks beautiful its out of my price range.
weidesvideo do you have any 17c i can buy? Please let it be cheap i dont care if its made in china or fake i just want to have a 17c mouthpiece again cuz i lost mine and i cant adjust to a 7c mouthpiece
weidesvideo Hey, thanks for the info. I was about to start playing trumpet again, but I'm in a hospital for a while... Was thinking about getting a mouthpiece for Christmas and checked through the system and list. I have a 7c and a 7EW for sure and the other one is a 2b or a 7b... not quite sure... but a B for sure. I don't think paying 70 bucks for an a mouthpiece (on Amazon only Bach is available) would be worth it... or is the difference that big? What would you say?
'2' is a big circumference. 'B' is common/popular size for a deep cup. Again, I'm not an expert. Just how I feel with the ones I have owned (about 10 sizes). I got most of mine from Thompson's Music (no affiliation) from online. Never got to that high $70 but rare sizes just may or prices went up recently. Good luck!
Hey guys, I'm not able to play with a Harmon mute a la Miles Davis. I can only get going on a C, the lower notes are muted out. Any tips? Is it the mouth piece?
Sorry for such a late reply. Didn't know they have a number bigger than 10. I would guess a 11B has a smaller rim but deeper cup compared to the most common Bach 7C.
Thank you for making this video. It was exactly the information I needed too understand mouthpieces
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much for your video which was really good guide to what mouthpiece numbers and letters actually mean.
Glad it helped!
It's a very very helpful video, thank you so much for making it!
Most welcome, so glad it helped!
I got 3E, play mostly jazz and fast songs and this fits me perfectly.
👍 Sure, shallower the cup, faster the response, in general.

Great advice thank you 🙏🏻
You're so welcome!
Great info. Thanks for posting!
Why do you skip the 5c?
I didn't have one. These were the ones I had when making the video. I wanted to try out a 5C but it seemed >7 ones worked better. The 2 came with a used trumpet and the 3 was shipped incorrectly...
Is the 7C mouthpiece good?
It's like an average model.. good for people starting, since they don't know yet what they want
Is there a mouth piece better suited to play taps?

for powerful lows ,which would be better? thanks
I think it's usually deeper and larger cups, but more effort it takes playing them, and adaptation can be hard
I dont have high authority, but ill say that yoir skill level, dental health, and embochure mature with time. All very strong factors.
Guys please help me where can i buy affordable 17c trumpet moutpiece?
I really need it.
thank you in advance for those willing to reply.
17c? Or the common 7C? 7C should be easy to find and often it comes with the trumpet purchase. Unless you're looking for a large quantity for school?

Play with more air. Work on your tone without the mute, and your mute will vibrate better
I have an 11b, can I get some tips about the 11b
Sorry for such a late reply. Didn't know they have a number bigger than 10. I would guess a 11B has a smaller rim but deeper cup compared to the most common Bach 7C.
EW = extra wide (rim)
I see...
