In this episode, I talk all about the juicy, vibrant, and hefty Yamaha Bob Sullivan Signature Mouthpiece. This thing is an absolute beast to play - and is the intersection between a rim that was originally made for Bud Herseth, and the preferred cup, throat, and backbore of Phil Smith... and have I mentioned what an incredible player Bob Sullivan himself is? He is not only the principal trumpet of the Cincinatti Symphony Orchestra, but also the former assistant principal of the Cleveland Orchestra AND the former associate principal of the New York Phil, as well as teaching at many of those place's associated conservatories and universities. He is also an extremely expressive soloist and recitalist - and actually is the player that probably had the most impact on my personal sound concept. Any serious orchestral player should check this piece out, even just to get a sense for the kind of equipment these legendary trumpet players actually play on.

Beautiful sound man! 1C player here. Might have to check this out!
What people don't know is that Bud got his job with the CSO in 1947 playing a NY Bach 7B (Mr. Schilke made a copy and it's sold as the Schilke 11 model). Most of the Symphony cats were using smaller MPC's 70-80 years ago, it wasn't until Bud had the car accident and HAD to go to a bigger piece out of necessity.
Stumbled across your videos. Best trumpet RUclipsr by far. Keep grinding man. The content is GOLD!
Years ago at ITG I ask Herseth what mouthpiece he played and he said "it is a Bach 1B with a 22 throat and a 24 backbore". While Bach made the mouthpiece to Bud's requested specifications there was never a Herseth model. Naturally I had to order one so I could play as good as Bud! Somehow it didn't work that way. But seriously, you can play that thing extremely loud and the sound doesn't break up! It is also easy to play softly. There is no doubt big mouthpieces give you more real estate to balance your sound precisely, assuming ones chops are up to the task. Jon I really enjoy and appreciate your videos. I've learned a lot from them.
I always look forward to your nerd videos Jon!!!
Now you've got me interested! You have a way of making me want to purchase all these Yamaha signature pieces you review :)
Good tone!
I'm not a trumpet nerd but I love the videos! Keep up the good work!
Hey Jon could you maybe put a video out on how to find a new trumpet?
Thanks for the info. this was very interesting. I have had a Sullivan model for years, alternating for a long time with what I have thought was a “Phil Smith “ model was… 1B top, 5B bottom, and 23 throat and S back bore… I think I got this idea from Paul Merkelo. I now play a Bach symphony 1C/24/24… will you ever do anything on rotary pieces?
Vince used a Bach 1C to 1 1/4 C . He covered call registers, articulations and dynamics with ease because he used his "head connected to his ears" ( Arnold Jacobs "Song and Wind"--"If you're nor HEARING something, nothing will come out.; you must hear the best (trumpet) sound possible and PLAY to it; the brain will do the rest").
Is it possible for you to do a mouthpiece video about the Greg black BP mouth piece and maybe include some tips for playing trumpet with braces
Hey Jon! Do you think this mouthpiece would work well on rotary trumpet? I'm not a trumpet player, but I started collecting brass instruments and mouthpieces but I don't have a good mouthpiece that brings out the rich and robust rotary sound that I'm looking for. Love your videos!
In the spring of 1963, toward the end of my second full year of lessons with Mr. Herseth, I brought my new Mt. Vernon Bach 1 to my lesson, because that was Mr. Herseth's usual mouthpiece at the time. He took out a #22 drill bit mounted on a T handle and offered to drill out the throat of my Bach 1 to meet his specifications. (He told me that the drill-bit set-up was a gift from Vincent Bach.) I was frightened and turned him down, which I now regret. However, I do still have the Mt Vernon Bach 1 as a keepsake. I later learned that he sometimes resorted to a Bach 1B for heavy-duty weeks, at that time. Toward the end of his career, I believe Herseth returned to the Bach 7, which was the mouthpiece he played when he first joined the CSO. Scott Laskey knew Herseth's entire mouthpiece history in detail. What a shame he is no longer with us. RIP
Hi Jon! Has someone compared the Sullivan (or other 1CH avatars) to the Schilke Symphony 1 series?
Good video. I wish the pace was a little slower. I studied with Ware, nice surprise to see him. Great guy and player. CURRY has a line of mouthpieces called the Chicago series. I use one with my C trpt. jw
woo hoo!
Scott Laskey did not make the 1CH rim for Herseth. He copied Bud's Bach 1C rim one day when Bud was in Schilke's shop, where Scott worked before opening his own business. He started selling that rim design later because the high point of the rim was a bit more toward the inside, making it easier to control than some versions of the 1C rim.
Could you tell me the size of the Philipsmith mouthpiece? I'm Japanese so tell me briefly.😢
Does anyone here know anything about Abbott trumpets all I can find is that it started in Czechoslovakia The company produced multiple instruments but all I have is a trumpet and I’m pretty certain they were bought out by the king company but I’m trying to restore mom right now and I’m trying to figure out more of the history on this brand of trumpets the one I have I know it’s pre-World War II
