Definitely adds depth to the sound but I also like the acrylic by itself too, it gets more of a lighter airy tone which I can see using in some situations and it’s the same mouthpiece. Kinda like a guitar player with pedals to help change the tone but can use the same guitar
It does make a difference with the acrylic mouthpiece. Also, could you include (like today!) some classical setups for the horns you demo? I liked your Haydn concerto excerpt and the Stravinsky Petrushka. Of course don't take out the small group jazz or big band set ups either. It seems we need to play in all styles these days...
I will try to remember to play more of those. These are pretty spur-of-the-moment so sometimes I'm lucky to even hit the "record" button ;-) yesterday I did a long video for a customer and forgot to turn on the mic ;-)
Of the three mouthpieces, I thought the metal one sounded the weakest. No real depth, no real overtones, it just sounded weak to the others. The acrylic without the booster seemed to me to be brighter than the other two, but it had depth to the sound. With the booster, the sound seemed to me to get a bit darker in the lower end and brighter in the upper end, but not as bright as without. The depth to the sound was huge. I thought there was huge difference between the acrylic with and the metal mouthpiece. I would love to hear the booster on all your go to mouthpieces, Mr. Austin, assuming my speakers could handle that sound. If you were someone I did not know and had never heard before and you asked for me to pick one of these mouthpieces for you, it would be the acrylic with the booster. That combo produced the best sound for my ears. Do you have something similar for cornet mouthpieces? Great video.
These work on acb standard and traditional blank mouthpieces only. We are most likely going to carry more products of theirs as I am impressed with their work.
I have KGU's classic trumpet mouthpiece booster and it fits the ACB traditional blank mouthpiece. It does not fit the ACB standard blank mouthpiece. Trent, did you try this KGU booster with your metal mouthpiece? Results?
Yes I did try some titanium pieces but really did not enjoy the outward sound shape and projection. It's also a pain in the butt to machine so I am not going to cut it. Same goes with Stainless Steel for me.
@@austincustom I can’t tell really.. but I was told the weight of the booster will help the slotting with the acrylic/plastic mouthpiece.. just wondering if that is your experience..
I feel a benefit for sure on the acrylic it seems to lock in a bit more. More importantly for me at least is the sound change which feels much more like a metal piece in terms of the outward sound projection.

love your videos.
Thank you!
It sounds quite a bit different from this end. Acrylic is brighter to my ears.

Thanks for listening!
Are these limited to only your mouthpieces, or can they be adapted to other manufacturers?

I could see acrylic needing this .I bought one and I could not tell the difference on my Bach mouthpiece
Wish i could play like that.
You're too kind!
Trent ever try a Titanium MP by it's nature Ti is a music metal

Hi Trent, does the booster change the slotting? Thanks!
What did you hear?

@@austincustom will this fit my
Hybrid. Warburton H with your acrylic tops?
Standard mouthpiece is better
There is a difference not by much
I won't spend the money on it.
Not worth it.
