Great video! Thanks for sharing your experience. Tony and I recently collaborated on a mouthpiece build for a mutual customer who was using a Wedge mouthpiece and bought an AR Resonance trumpet. He liked the slightly shallower cup of his ARR mouthpiece and the larger #22 throat, but he really wanted to stick with the Wedge rim. Tony sent me a CAD file for the cup and I made a Wedge top based on the cup shape that he could use on Tony’s backbore. This was a win for everyone and is the way it should be. We makers should work together to produce the best product for our customers. Coincidentally, after that I bought an AR Resonance Classica trumpet based on my customer’s positive experience with his horn and your review on this channel. It’s an amazing horn and I could not be happier. Tony is a great guy making great instruments. Thanks again Donovan! By the way, your most recent order is almost ready to ship. 😊
If AR Resonance is the company you were interested in getting a Wedge rim from, he addressed that in a forum post (on Trumpet Herald maybe?) and said that he did have the capability, but would not copy the Wedge rim out of respect for Wedge's intellectual property. I seem to recall the Wedge guy joining the thread and saying he might be receptive to working out a licensing deal or something, though, so maybe there is still the possibility.
@@trumpetthoughts don't know for sure. I have steep upper teeth, that might have caused it, but it is a guess. But bottom line was they did not sound good.

Thanks for the info, Seth! Tony (AR Resonance) is a good guy!
How are note bending with the wedge?
No different.
Though I appreciate innovation these mouthpieces never worked for me.
Why's that?
