    Good video. I think Harrelson has the most comprehensive mouthpiece solution for players. His approach is based on impedance matching for best efficiency. Gap is one of many variables to get the best solution for the players.

    Great content. I have a Courtois Evo I with a gap adjustment "mechanism", it's genius, so simple, and yet it allows you to try infinite settings.

    Mouth pieces are like fingerprints. No two are alike , just like Trumpets. Everybody's mouth and dental structure , teeth alignment are also like fingerprints all different. You must experiment to find what is just right. The right combination. I have played on 4 mouthpieces in 63 years of playing. Started on a Bach 3C . Evolved to the 1 and quarter and now on a 1 1/2 . Learn to play softly and correctly, establish the low registers and build from there. On the other hand , I watched my friend Mark Gould play the Hummel flawlessly on several mouthpieces he was trying out during rehearsals. I am convinced Doc could play great on a tin can with a kazoo for a mouthpiece. There is no finite solution. It's all individual.

      @@jambajoby32 That’s something I was curious about. Have you measured this? Once upon a time, I heard Wynton live. I was sitting perpendicular to his bell and it seemed like his sound was still coming at me. Then he turned and faced me . . . . That’s when all of my hair flew off of my head. 😆 Soooo much sound.

      I wonder if it’s adjusted and balanced in the throat/backbone because those too are larger than most.
      Monette trumpets, on the other hand, are large in general. Bells, bores, bell spread & more, no matter what, you’re getting a big sound if you’re using air!

      ​@jambajoby32 Monette mouthpieces may be shorter, but they surely took mouthpiece gap into account. What I remember when I tried one (college instructor had a few for the studio to try) is that the mouthpiece shank went in just as far as the mouthpieces we were using. In other words, the length difference was on the outside of the receiver, having little to no bearing on mouthpiece gap.
