I just want to say that I recently got a megatone mouthpiece, and it made a significant difference in my tone, especially in the lower registers (on the staff, and a bit below). I had been playing on a Bach 3C. I am an amateur, and I was kind of skeptical that a mouthpiece could make that big of a difference but I was absolutely wrong. Just a cheapo 30$ knock off megatone mouth piece made quite a difference tonally. Definitely recommend you guys (fellow amateurs) experiment if you have some spare cash to throw around. It's been fun!
@@trumpet_guy idk if your big into shallow/v cup mouthpieces but you should give the Nicholson x-piece by lynn nicholson a try, as you might know, he's a trumpet god and his mouthpiece (in my opinion) is a piece of art, it really helped with my register and it feels amazing on the lips, I've played trumpet for around half a decade, ive tried 7c's 3'cs and they didnt didnt really cut it for me, a bit disappointed on the 3c as many, including my band teacher, told me the 3c was an overall good mouthpiece for range and tone quality
I have a wedge mouthpiece with the beefy backbore on it. It’s a solid piece and one of the really cool features about those specific pieces is that they make the rim of the mouthpiece curved to almost wrap around and seal around your mouth better. I love my wedge. Another good piece that I play on for my drum corps days is the Schilke 14a4a. It’s built for higher range but it fits really well for the lower range as well and for it being a lead piece, it’s surprisingly dark from what I’ve been able to tell versus even standard 3c and 7c pieces out there.
Ok so I have a Kelly and while it does improve your range and allows you to hit very high notes (double high c) it also forces you to adjust the tuning slide to compensate for the pitch shift
I play trumpet in my band i am going to be a freshmen this year I LIKE THE 250 and 60 dollar mouth piece i have both of them the r rlly good to work with
I have a 14a4 and a plastic Kelly screamer I think the Kelly screamer is like a plastic version of a 14a4 so I like to use it for field show practice when it's cold
My main mouthpiece is a Monette Prana (+ a bunch of letters and numbers I cant remember) Its good for both low, middle and high range (at least my high range) It retails for 350$ but I got mine used (almost brand new) for 190$
I was more expecting a comparison between mouthpieces of the same cup size. A bit hard to compare the value of different mouthpieces based on sound and resistance if there is no "base".
Miles told ones " if you wanne make tone. just practice " .----) a fast car dont make you automatic a good drive Btw, I also play a 5c of 38euro in a Jazz band. With that mouthpiece a can play low and high enough and make color like my life and I often manage to attract the audience to me.I know a high blower who only blows high against himself......
I use 5c with my pocket trumpet! 1 1/2 c with my trumpet and Fluglehorn 5c and 7c buying 1 1/2 c just like different mouthpieces by Bach! Do have valve trombone Yamaha 45A 😀
Looks as if you are playing on the red of your lower lip.This will hinder control, flexibility, endurance in all registers. I think that in your tests here, one has to assume you are playing correctly.
I don't know how it is with Bachs and Schilkes, but I know with many German professional trumpets like Krinner you don't even get a mouthpiece. But I think if you buy a professional trumpet you already own your perfect mouthpiece.
Bach's tend to come with either a 3c or a 5c , Yamaha's tend to come with a 16c4 or an 11b4. Reputable companies *normally* come with a standard mouthpiece comparable to a 3, 5, or 7c
@@brian_urb3157 That is true. I play with a Monette Prana mouthpeice on a Yamaha ytr-2335 student trumpet. And Im playing semi-professional. I just cant afford a professional trumpet
@@FishingForLife28 its similar in my case, I play a Bob Reeves 41 on a Yamaha YTR 3335 with heavy valve caps. Even though all in all its a relative cheap equipment, its still so much fun to play.
For euphonium they can run towards $450. Typically they’re not that expensive and are about $80 dollars on average (if you’re buying it in silver plate)
OMG mouth pieces drive me nuts, what I play today does not feel good tomorrow, yesterdays mouth piece is for, not sure what day, thinking about labeling my mouth pieces for the day of the week... OMG
I have one of the Al Hirt M's in my collection, the bite is so far on the outer rim it is practically a bottom out funnel. If you want to find a jet-tone both the studio B and C I have had great luck with!

you should try out the wedge mouthpiece. i’ve heard really good things about it but there’s not many reviews.
I would love to try one at some point

Have you ever heard of a "Kelly screamer mouthpiece"
Well you should test if it does improve your range
Ok so I have a Kelly and while it does improve your range and allows you to hit very high notes (double high c) it also forces you to adjust the tuning slide to compensate for the pitch shift
It it really fun though
@@anthonyfontana3063 oh ok thanks fam I will get one then for marching season
Anthony Sanchez well I don’t recommend you marching with it, rather you should use playing stand tunes in the stands.
It allows you play higher but is really hard to play loud

Your monette mouthpiece sounds the brightest. I currently play on a Wedge. Perhaps one day you should try one out.

5b has a pretty deep cup. So good for the low notes, not so much for high.
I was more expecting a comparison between mouthpieces of the same cup size. A bit hard to compare the value of different mouthpieces based on sound and resistance if there is no "base".
Have you got some kind of dimension comparasen for the Monette ? I'm sure that's not the only one they make.
I actually use that range mouthpiece,and yeah... Its a bit hard in the low notes..
Can the nmonet be used well with a mellophone ?
Is that I Bach strav model 37

mine came with a shires 3c but that’s because I requested it. so if you were to buy one, it might be different.

I have a $60 mouth piece
I had no idea mouth pieces could get THAT expensive
For euphonium they can run towards $450. Typically they’re not that expensive and are about $80 dollars on average (if you’re buying it in silver plate)
And that is only Monettes classic mouthpeice, their Prana line goes for 350$
Look at Harrelson. $599 for the 9 piece kit 😂
here before 5 views😎
Nice
? Number 3 E , good ? Or not ? Do you know , .....
I have a newer production 3E and have had pretty good luck with it. I would just make sure that you can still have control of your low register.
Just get a 3c and use less pressure on your lips almost like pull away from your face it will do wonders for your tone man
LAXED PLIS

Al Hurt Jet Tone S which is wasted on a novis like myself. Very shallow bowl.
It's likely just too small for you. Those jet tones are tiny

Plastic mouth pieces aren't really good to play on really don't give off a sharper tone.
voice crack but good vid
Omg i got braces and I can't play
Dude I remember that it sucks so bad playing with braces the blisters suckkkk😩😩
I have braces and I can play
I hate it, everytime I wanna play above the scale my lips just to hurt in the inside.
Too much talk
