Damn man, you’re one hell of a player. Especially for your age! Congrats! Also I personally switched to Monette B2S3 and B3F S7 from Bach 2C and a Bach 1-1/4C. Both worked okay, but as I aged, they became increasingly limiting and monette just opened a whole new world of sound for me.
Bach 3c with a modified 25 backbore for regular playing and Nytc stage 1 DC mouthpiece (DC meaning double cup) for lead. It has a modified V cup towards the throat and a C cup at the rim and has similar to a 3c rim with a flatter contour overall in the rim, the throat size is 26 and has a modified backbore for a more spread out sound than a straight lead mouthpiece
Appreciate the suggestion. If I were to make another mouthpiece comparison video, would you want me to compare all of my mouthpieces with the same piece or just a couple specific mouthpieces? Thanks again for your comment!
@@trumpetmax4927 Thank you for the response, and for making these videos! I'm a beginner/intermediate player looking to upgrade from a beat-up Conn 7C, the only mouthpiece I've used the >5 years I've been playing. I've never played with a band or orchestra, so I have very little intuitive sense of just how much difference different mouthpieces make to the sound. I'd love to see an apples-to-apples comparison. Whatever you might do would likely be helpful, but a comparison between mouthpieces like a cheap Bach clone, Bach, and Monette Silver/Classic/Prana would be amazing.
@@trumpetmax4927 Great video! I do agree with @Aidan Boyer with using the same pieces. I'm a trumpet player in my mid-20's and for me, even though you can hear the difference between each mouthpiece, it was hard to distinguish the big differences between each mouthpiece as they were played the way they were meant to be used. Playing each mouthpiece with one or more (preferably a couple - but hey, what do I know. I'm also on my way in the mouthpiece journey.) pieces would show the important differences between them and why they are/were used for they were.
I’m a long time Bach mouthpiece player. Started with the traditional 7c then to 5c, 3c, and finally a 1c in college. Now playing a 1c orchestral mp with 24 bore. I’ve been very reluctant to try other mouthpieces mostly due to the outrageous prices
I use a Bach 3C, 5C and 7C standard mouthpieces (MPC). However, I purchased a Monette B6S1 Resonance MPC I'm still working to adapt (very slowly) with this MPC
It took me a while to adapt as well, so hang in there. Here's an insightful Monette playing guide that helped me a lot so hopefully it can help you too: www.monette.net/single-post/2016/08/26/Monette-Mouthpiece-Acclimation-Guide-Repost
Started on 7c. Then went to Bach 3c, many years. Kind of found my sound with that one. Then played Yamaha 16c4 for comfort but then I realized it was too dark so I went back to Bach 3c again. I think I will soon try yamahas around 14 or 15 to see if there is a perfect match around there between 3c size and yamaha ergonomics.
Thanks so much! These types of videos take a long time to make at the moment but I'm working on uploading more and getting more efficient with editing and all that. Thanks again for the comment!
I've only been playing so I upgraded my no-name Chinese 7C mouthpiece to a Bach 7C mouthpiece, both for my trumpet and my flugel. An upgrade won't be neccessary the next few years lol I'm a noob
Hey Max I enjoyed this comparison video. I purchased a Monette resonance B6S1 this summer and I love, itw great for overall playing. I want to try a good lead mouthpiece from them I just dont want to buy another resonance mp without trying it out. You sound great on the gram by the way.
Hi Ephraim, I appreciate the comment! I understand the concern of buying a lead Monette without trying it. For me, I knew I already liked the dimensions on the B6S1 so I just bought a shallower lead version of that (B6L S1). If it doesn't work out for you, it also seems Monettes maintain relatively high resale values for the most part, so hopefully that's reassuring.
@@ephraimpinckney8209 Hey, just bought a Resonance B4S S2 since its very similar to a 1-1/2C which I've plaid on for years. How would u say the mouthpiece you have, not the lead however, plays on high notes. In case that was confusing I mean how is the normal B6 S1 for higher notes?
Hi from Italy! I have used a lot of mouthpieces in my life: Getzen 7c, 1c Yamaha 17b4,15E4,16e4 Bach 1c , 1 1/4c , 1 1/2c corp. , 1 1/2c Artisan Breslmair three pieces mouthpiece Monette traditional plus 6 But now I’m using Yamaha 15e4 (sometimes I’m using Breslmair and,rarely, Bach 1 1/2c artisan too) on Bb,C,D,Eb trumpets and I’m using a Bach 7E 117 on my piccolo Yamaha 15e4 is very deep but it helps me to control the flow constancy. I have chosen some mouthpieces cause I’m searching an orchestral sound but I use the same set in concert repertoire. I advice u to try some breslmair mouthpiece. I use it from years and I’m very proud .
I seem to do best on a Bach 10.5C although some other models give a nicer tone or higher maximum volume there is a beautiful balance to the wretched thing that I keep coming back to. Well, maybe that high C is a tad flat
CURRENTLY have only the Bach 3C & 3C Megtone....swapped away both the 1.5 C & the 5&7 Cs ... + .... I have started using a Warburton 3C cup / 5 back bore + I have a Dennis Wick 4 w that I use on a cornet. .......I have considered a Monette but am not sure how to choose a size .....Joe (USA )
When doing these kind of comparisons please don't edit/mix the takes too much. Especially the reverb just gets in the way of a clean a b comparison. Also please keep the rooms the same. Thank you, tho!
The "embouchure headout" I added into the video was in relation to the end of the phrase when I didn't connect the last 2 notes. My embouchure wasn't firm enough to support the smooth note transition and the break in the sound resulted.
Great video man! Since you’ve had a lot of success with Monette pieces, I’d recommend you try some Lotus mouthpieces if you get the chance. You’ll notice some similarities in terms of the improved intonation and things like that but I personally had a better experience with Lotus than Monette. I played a B2LS3 for about a year and then got the Lotus 2M+ and I had a better experience with the Lotus (and they don’t hurt the bank as much). I’d recommend any of the mouthpieces in the 3 rim for you. I also have a 3S+ and although my main lead piece right now is the Wayne Bergeron GR Studio, the Lotus 3S+ is an AMAZING lead mouthpiece. Especially for all cats coming from a 3C/6S1 kind of mouthpiece, you’ll feel the familiarity but you’ll also feel that spark. Lotus mouthpieces are amazing
I’m starting back after 50 years. I play a Bach Artisan 3 C . It’s supposed to be old school Bach . Very comfortable than a modern 3c Bach. I’m very interested in the Monette . I want to use less air with a better sound. I play a 190 50th Anniversary Stradivarius. It’s built old school like my prior Mt Vernon.I’m looking at the Monette B4SS2. It has the Mt Vernon C cup
I enjoyed the video! The mic your using give the trumpet some kind of particular sound, I can't seem to put my finger on it. 🤷🏾♂️.. Well since you can afford all these Monette mouthpieces, perhaps you should try other expensive ones such as Harrelson s, AR resonance , lotus .. etc.
Appreciate the comment! I unfortunately don't have the ability to buy all of those mouthpieces (I saved up for the monettes), but I'll consider doing more mouthpiece comparison playing videos/trumpet comparison videos.
Hello Max,thank you for your video,is very clear and helpful and you are such a talent trumpeter,I already follow you on Instagram. I wanted to ask a question: I’m using a Bach 3C and I’m trying to use a larger mouthpiece to try to play outside “the red of the lips” and not inside. Can you suggest me a Bach that can help me to solve this problem? Could you also suggest me a comparison of Monette mouthpiece? Than you so much in advance
I bought a gold Monette B4S S 2. It’s modeled after the MV 3C . It’s got a bigger throat.I can’t play any better on it . It’s harder . Could be my level as a comeback player . $300!Yamaha is the best buy
Damn man, you’re one hell of a player. Especially for your age! Congrats! Also I personally switched to Monette B2S3 and B3F S7 from Bach 2C and a Bach 1-1/4C. Both worked okay, but as I aged, they became increasingly limiting and monette just opened a whole new world of sound for me.
Appreciate it! And thanks for sharing, cool to see other people have a similar story to mine.
I use a Bach 5B because I find it gives me a warmer sound than my other mouthpieces and also because it feels good on my lips
That side look into the camera while you were buzzing & spitting away killed me! 😂😅🤣
Just got a Monette B4002.UN believable . Cheaper than buying multiple mouse pieces with old technology.
Monette mouthpieces are a game changer!
Indeed!
Thank you, I benefited a lot from this video... From Morocco ❤️
Denis Wick Ultra gold 3c. Gives a very rich tone and space for my lips to move around.
Great playing!
hahahaha well done fella! I like the last mouthpiece
Bach 3c with a modified 25 backbore for regular playing and Nytc stage 1 DC mouthpiece (DC meaning double cup) for lead. It has a modified V cup towards the throat and a C cup at the rim and has similar to a 3c rim with a flatter contour overall in the rim, the throat size is 26 and has a modified backbore for a more spread out sound than a straight lead mouthpiece
I play a Stork Vacchiano 2B+25C and I love how it feels when I play it
Fantastic tone!
To get a better picture of the difference between mouthpieces, I wish you had played the same pieces on the different mouthpieces.
Appreciate the suggestion. If I were to make another mouthpiece comparison video, would you want me to compare all of my mouthpieces with the same piece or just a couple specific mouthpieces? Thanks again for your comment!

You like this better than a Parana?
Hey max nice videos ! I am wondering how do you record your self , with which mic ?
Great technical analysis.
Thanks Colman!

I guess you liked the Bobby Shew Lead better than the Bach, have you tried a Lotus?
Dude you’re awesome, you should post more if you can, love the videos

Bach 12C, Besson 6a, Eric Miyashiro 2, trumpet mouthpieces. Considering Rudy Muck. Thanks
Looking for a bright sound and improved upper range.
Is the b6s1 polyvalent and good for jazz solo?

I'm a Monette lover with 2 Monette trumpets and 20 Monette mouthpieces, severe dent in my bank account!!!
Oh yes I don't miss those prices!
Hi from Italy! I have used a lot of mouthpieces in my life:

Breslmair three pieces mouthpiece
Monette traditional plus 6

che modello Breslmair?
the last mouthpiece is called neighbor's darling 😍
Which trumpet you used for those recordings? Is it Yamaha ytr 9335 chs?
WAS THAT DANZON NO.2 TWO THAT U PLAYED WITH THE PLASTIC MOUTHPIECE!?!
Also I have been thinking about getting a monette B6 S1 so what do u think?
I seem to do best on a Bach 10.5C although some other models give a nicer tone or higher maximum volume there is a beautiful balance to the wretched thing that I keep coming back to. Well, maybe that high C is a tad flat
Hey Trumpet Max, what song are you playing at 2:19?
Pictures at an Exhibition

Monette has a chart that shows which of their Mouthpieces match a Bach 3C. Go online to the Monette mouthpiece section.
Yes Jaeger Tiger is right, Monette has a comparison chart on their website.
When doing these kind of comparisons please don't edit/mix the takes too much. Especially the reverb just gets in the way of a clean a b comparison. Also please keep the rooms the same. Thank you, tho!
a very good trumpeter! good video! I use a standard Bach 1.5C with a Bach Strad 180S37. Very versatile and symphonic sound.
Very very I terestimg congrats for the info
I use a 7c mouthpiece came from my Chinese trumpet I face the same embouchure headout issue , is there any solution

I switched from a Monette B6S1 Resonance to a Lotus 3L+ and had a similar experience. I highly recommend them.
@@nicholasfields1082 glad to hear it. Lotus mouthpieces are great
What model Eb/D do you use?

I bought a gold Monette B4S S 2. It’s modeled after the MV 3C . It’s got a bigger throat.I can’t play any better on it . It’s harder . Could be my level as a comeback player . $300!Yamaha is the best buy
This kid makes me want to quit😢
