Product Description

A carefully selected Bach mouthpiece like this 3C Gold mouthpiece can help improve a trumpet player's embouchure, attack, tonguing, and endurance. Vincent Bach was a rare combination of artist and engineer. A mechanical genius and acclaimed trumpet soloist, his instruments and mouthpieces are used today in every major studio and orchestra in the world. Bach personally designed the tools and composed the plans that continue to set the high standards for making all Bach products today. "Choosing the perfect mouthpiece is often more difficult than choosing the perfect instrument. Your success as a musician depends on the choice of equipment that will do justice to your capabilities." -Vincent Bach

This review is from: Bach Standard Series Trumpet Mouthpiece in Silver 1E

I have allways liked Bach trumpet Mouthpieces, and use regularly an 1C or 1 for my orchestral trumpet playing. Nevertheless, for my piccolo (Amati Piccolo which uses a large bore mouthpieces) I had allways used the Stork Vachiano 1.5P or 1.5E and wanted to change for a Bach. Nonetheless, the adaptation so far has not been as expected. It is a difficult mouthpice due to its shallowness. Any excessive pressure and you will not be able to play at all. Therefore, I have found it very usefull to study my piccolo with, rather tahn for actual live perfomance.
