I received Symphonic 1C 22 throat 24 backbore mouthpiece about a week ago. First up I didn't like the rim edge and cup but having imported it I thought I would get a friends opinion. I decided to play duets with a buddy to try it out. Wow it worked. The intonation was spot on with my old Bach C. The high C was easy to play without having to adjust the note. The sound and articulation was easy. Now it's my favorite. Thank you for a great review.
Great explanation and great playing! By the grace of God I play the bass trombone but my son is a trumpet playing so I’m trying to get my head wrapped around all these things! Thanks!
Hi Chris, nice to hear from you. Yes I liked it a lot, lovely centre and roundness to the sound. The rim was a bit like a Stork 2c ish, it sits nicely between a 1 1/4 and 1 1/2, It felt more like a 25/24 to me, with the backbore perhaps being a tiny bit smaller. It was a tiny bit too closed for me, I like to get my chops in the mpc and control the compression, this kind of does it for you. Hope that helps? All the best. Jon
@@jonathanclarke5545 thanks for your reply Jon! I've been on a year long search for something between a 1.5 and 3 rim. I've found the 1.5C 24/24 Symphonic Bach to sound great, but I don't love the rim, although I like it better than the 1.25. I'm in the practice room right now with a 1C 24/24, but it's just too big for me. I have some Pickett's that I'm experimenting with, but I just can't quite get the sound out of them that I can out of the Bach. I have a Bach 24/24 backbore and a Parke Orchestral backbore on the way for me to try, so perhaps they'll go some way towards getting the sound I'm looking for. Again, love your videos!
@@christopherbaldwin8709 Interesting, yeah I guess thats a common size area to be in. I failed to mention in the video that also the Fritz Damrow works well too. Thats about a 3c 23/24. Thats Yamaha, or you could look at the Hardenberger piece which is around 2 1/2C. Often its about grip and purchase. 1 1/4's took me till in my late 30's to make work, as they use to feel like they slipped down, once I over came this everything was better, particularly stamina and efficiency.
Great video, thanks! Would it be pointless to use a Bach 24/24 on both the Bb and C trumpets? Do you like Artisan mouthpieces? Those can be modified to 24/24 on Mouthpiece Express.
No I'd say if it works go for it! I generally end up using the same mouthpiece on both hooters these days. Like any opinion/idea one evolves and sometimes disagrees with previously held thoughts. My current view is once you're used to your instruments and mouthpiece, (and I mean very used), and you can make a huge variety of colours, then your technique is dialled in and you will make it work. Combining 24/24 and 26/10 is a nice way to soften the shock of the switch, but many end up playing one of the 2 90% of the time.

Wonderful!!! Finally, a player who not only understands the differences, but plays them so well the differences are immediately apparent! Bravo.

Great video Jonathon! Out of curiosity, did you like the Aubier mouthpiece? How did it differ from the tradition 1.5C 24/24?
