    • @TrumpetBiz
      @TrumpetBiz 4 місяці тому

      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.

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.

    OMG your awesome for this video! I play outside with a marching band so I need to be loud as possible (ffff) while in the upper registers. I currently use a 1.5C and my tone is fat and full but I need more range (while keeping my tone). What do you recommend my good sir?

    • @TrumpetBiz
      @TrumpetBiz 8 місяців тому

      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 !

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.

    Throat diameters are usually given in the drill bit size, so it would be nice to know what size these Yamaha mouthpieces are. Most standard throats are 26 or 27 unless they’ve been modified or special ordered. I used to have all mine drilled (or made) to a #22 throat until I found my current mouthpiece (Bach 1E) which I’ve left stock because the balance between throat, backbore, and cup volume is about perfect for me. The Yamaha 16.85mm is just a tad small for me as my mouthpieces are typically 17.00mm. UPDATE: OK, I did the math. The Jazz has a #27 throat and the Lead has a #28 throat. The 16.85mm rim diameter of the Jazz would put it about halfway between a Bach 2 (16.50mm) and a Bach 1 (17.00mm) rim diameter, leaning just ever so slightly toward the Bach 1. The 16.54mm of the Jazz would l put it virtually the same as the Bach 2 (16.50mm) rim diameter.

      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 !

      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.

    • @TrumpetBiz

      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 !

    Generally Schilkes have #26 throat except the A4a models which have a #27 throat which is similar to standard Bach size throat. The Schilke mouthpieces seem to be the longest overall length compared to other brands. The Yamahas are cheaper so that is a consideration too. The gain in stamina using these mouthpieces on a long gig is the biggest bonus imho.

    Yamaha has used the Schilke nomenclature to describe their mouthpieces. The number refers to the inner diameter of the rim. The lower the number, the more narrow diameter. The first letter refers to the relative depth of the cup. A is shallow to E which is the deepest. The next number refers to the shape of the rim, not the throat. 1 is very narrow to 5 which is very flat a wide. A 4 rim is on the flat, wide side. The last letter refers to the shape of the backbore. A is the narrowest and E is the most open. The throats on Yamaha and Schilke mouthpieces are not mentioned on the mouthpiece. If you don't know, Renold Schilke was called in by Yamaha to help them get started in the professional trumpet and mouthpiece genre.

      Congrats ! How do you like the flatter rim?

    …V type, meaning the sides aren’t “flared” or “graduated”, a straight taper outward, like a V shape.

      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?

    Schilke 14A4A has 27 throat. Bobby Shew Lead has a 28.

    Are you selling your old 14A4A? I’d like to buy or trade for it!

      Hi Bryan. Sorry, it's a small part of my past that I just can't get rid of. It is a "blast from the past" for sure. Best wishes to you and your trumpet playing !

      You can have Ken Titmus flatten the rim slightly and add a rim undercut to a current 14A4a and that'll make it closer to the original series

    The cups are VERY different. The modern ones have two separate shapes. The throat entrances are barely different. The blanks are VERY different. The older ones are better, in my opinion.

    I was hoping for more of a video where you gave a actual play the the mouthpiece and evaluate it rather then just showing the mouthpieces.

    • @TrumpetBiz
      @TrumpetBiz 2 роки тому

      That is definitely coming. When I started doing these, I thought no one would care what they felt like to me, or what I sounded like playing them. Turns out, I was so wrong. Thanks for letting us know as we are working on making some new videos with these mouthpieces being played.

    Really don’t know how can anyone compare them, saying “they are very similar” … They’re very very different, in size & shape of every detail 🤷‍♀️

      I like this channel, but he is very loose when he compares pieces. Something that is “very different” to me is “similar” to him.

      Part of this is a difference between a discerning professional performer (who is likely extremely sensitive to tiny changes) and a hobbiest-enthusiast.

    So, overall do you think they are worth buying for the price or there are better options? thanks

    • @TrumpetBiz
      @TrumpetBiz 3 роки тому

      If they match your embouchure and playing style, they may be an option. What are you playing now? What are you looking to change in your sound? Most quality mouthpieces run in this range. They are definitely designed for different music. The Jazz's warmer sound from the deeper cup is something I'm enjoying these days as I take a break from my Schilke 14A4A as I'm not doing much lead work (as you can imagine lol !). Yamaha's mouthpieces are really high quality and am enjoying the more rounded inner rim of the Shrew Jazz as compared to the little sharper inner rim of the Schilke. Depending on what you are playing now and where you want to take your playing, hopefully will help you decide which direction to try. Good luck and please let me know how it goes. Thanks for playing along.

      @@TrumpetBiz I'm currently playing on a Yamaha 11b4 and it feels a bit limiting volume-wise and a bit small for my lips. Also the tone is quite mellow, which I like, but I'm baffled that my previous mouthpiece sounded brighter having a deeper cup lol. Anyway I play mostly jazz and I'm looking for something warmer but round (if that's possible), and the Shew Jazz seems like a good option. I was wondering if in your experience it is. Thanks and best of luck.

      @@Wes7Joplin I like it as a change from my Schilke 14A4A although the rim diameter is a bit smaller. I like the deeper cup and more open throat. In looking up your 11B4, it has a 16.46mm inner rim diameter and a 3.65mm throat. The Shrew Jazz has a 16.85mm inner rim diameter and the same 3.65 throat & standard backbore. You should feel the Shrew Jazz allow more of your embouchure to move given the larger rim diameter. The deeper cup should give that warmth. The backbore should help with your slotting similar to your 11B4. Sounds like you found something that may work. Nice chatting with you, please have fun, stay safe and healthy.
