Classical player here. I did my job using a Bach 3B. What I learned later on is that a 3C to a 3B doesn't just mean deeper, it also changes the shape of the cup. Finding a diameter of a 3C with the same shape but deeper provided me the same resistance, but darker tone which is what I wanted. 3B is more of a V shape and less resistance making it harder to play.
Hey Kurt, Not sure if you see these comments anymore, but you turned me on to a Back 3E from my Back 3C, and MAN! what a difference. Thanks soo much from a new subscriber!!! ;-)
I played a 5B in college, and I've enjoyed it a lot. I'm not a range player at all, but it's such a pretty sound and it works well with me, especially in chamber music. I did have to switch to play up to the others in my jazz group - there I play a Marcinkiewicz model 10.
That's great, but my dear we are ALL range players! There is no choice in the matter. If you ignore it or rationalize it then you play less musically with less musical options....just ask Maurice Andre....( his spirit)
not trippin at all... yes, i have had several students with cleft palate, cleft lip and the ones with the cleft palate had that plastic mold spacer installed near the roof of their mouth. What is your point?
It is so interesting to see people talk about mouthpieces especially in accordance to range, I am a lead player and I play almost exclusively on on large or xl mouthpieces. Currently on a GR67LX and a Lotus1XL2
You sound great on all those mouthpieces. The 3F sounded a little distorted to me when you played the low G. I didn’t hear that at all with the other pieces.
I never laughed so hard. Dude, we are all shaped differently. Good or bad is a world of variables. Look at Bobby Shew. Tiny. Others play large. Myself, a 12C.Why? It fits. Best performance. Can't explain it.
I've played the "3" rim size for a looong time. In my early 20s I played a 3 (no letter) and you could sleep a family of 4 in that. I've played a 3e for decades. Good all around piece.
@@TRUMPETSIZZLE my 12 year old son took up trumpet in 5th grade (2 years ago) and had been playing a 7c. This fall he actually started acting like he was interested in playing and his sound was getting much better so I gave him a 3c and he sounds surprisingly good (especially on my horn). He'll get some strength in his chops on the deeper cup then we'll move to 3e.
I'm a brand new trumpet player and I don't have much lip and I know practice is key but is there a mouth piece that could help me hit notes/ tones better???
Bach 1D was my preferred daily driver for 20 years. Man, I love that mouthpiece. I have a 1X that I love as well but holy cow is it a deep dish. On a Strad Sterling Silver Plus 43 Bell, that was the kit.
So do any professional (commercial) lead players, such as yourself, play serious upper register work on ANY Bach mouthpiece? Your clear, sharp attacks are very impressive. Are there any secrets to getting those type of attacks?
I am sure some of them do. I tend to use a Bach 1 on stuff that goes below the staff or stuff requiring good precise tonguing like I did in a recent video short here. I played this all on a Bach 1 ruclips.net/video/doZPLuLEUQU/видео.html
Wondering about trying a Bach 3D cornet mouthpieces .. I’m playing solo cornet in brass bands here inAustralia... been using a 7C but but lip can’t handle it anymore... thanks Kurt
Kurt the BR is great at the mid to high range, though I detect slight airyness at the mid to lower.range . The 3F is way too airy throughout Fail The 3E is a solid performer slight air at just some notes through to midstaff, .then is very clean up to top . The 3D has nice overtones mid staff full round would be my description . 5C doesnt like the dblG and neither did you . The 5B has full round from low G to G above staff to A 5B actually comes alive ( beautiful full tone) at mid staff to A above.. B probably stands for Bucket . thanks for the comparison Bring 2 mouthpieces. Conclusion The BR for Everest and the 3e for mid stuff and 5 b with an extra set of lips and lungs for the basement
TAPS encompasses middle G to high G on the trumpet. That is a normal playing range for anyone who doesn't have exceptional chops, for anyone who doesn't have a well-developed upper register. Because of this, I don't make any recommendations of mouthpieces. ....any mouthpiece will do. In fact, I can play taps WITH NO mouthpiece at all.
The deeper the cup, the better your sound! There is more effort in the high register when you play the A cup high--But to my ears your "effort" sounds quite beautiful on the A & B. --It's clear for gigs that it's probably impossible to play your high register material on the A & B, but your tone really sounds great and clear, less pinched on the deeper cup sizes. Peace
Yes, there are no-letter cups in some sizes, but oddly, they fall between the A and B cups in depth. If a certain size comes in both a no-letter cup and an A cup, the A will be deeper... at least, according to Vincent Bach. 3 is one of those sizes, so it would have been interesting to include that here.
Cant speak for Bach but Schilke does as their 14 which means standard C rim, standard depth C cup and standard backbore You can find the dimensions and comparison specs of mpcs .
Hey Kurt, I’ve played on a 3c for the last 5 years and I’ve gotten around just fine with it. I want something just a little bit shallower. Not too shallower. Can you give me your in depth opinion on the 3D and how the 3D compares to the 3C. Also how the 3D compares to the 3E. Thanks, Hazen
Well the "D" is a slight more shallow cup, but...slight. If you really don't play in marching band, pep band, or jazz band and only a wind ensemble, concert band, or orchestra, "D" cup is probably a decent level of bowl depth for ya!
I played a Strad with a 3C as a pretty good student in the 60’s and 70’s. Switched from a 5C, which came with the horn, because I felt it was too shallow. I loved the 3C! Fun to play. I thought it brought out for me the best of the Strad.
There is also a 5 with no letter in case the A wasn't deep enough. I also notice the tuning is different between moutpieces. A deeper mouthpiece needs the tuning slide to be a bit more in.
100% you had the wrong sound! You could possibly get away with it if you had extremely large lips however you would still have the wrong sound. Meaning it wouldn't lead the band but would blend in too much. I noticed you don't have Jack diddly for any Lead playing on your Channel....
Thanks, but...next time you get serious about playing lead, TRY a Bach 1 1/2 D or E because it will give you a closer lead or commercial type sound. It still won't be exactly right, but much better than a warm muffled sound I am quite positive you got on the 1C. If you get more serious, Get a few variations of the Bob Reeves mouthpieces and they have a comparison chart to approximate the 1C if you really like that, but can modify it to get a much more appropriate lead trumpet sound. GOOD LUCK!
I played 1 1/2 c all through high school. Only reason I switched from 7c was because I was told to move to a 3c. Probably worked better for me since our teacher was a flute player and always told the brass section control our tone and blend. Lol I also had a knockoff eBay trumpet, so maybe it was for the best😅
Kurt, If you play a double G, altissimo register G, with a deep cup, as demonstrated by yourself in this video, you're going to hear a beautiful double high G sounding very mellow. The reason for a shallow cup is to make producing the note easier. Many players scream out a note on the trumpet and brag that they played a high ,double G. You can play a double G as you demonstrate in this video on a normal or deep cup mouthpiece, and not sound any higher than the g and octave lower. And yet you are in fact an octave higher and busting your guts. Like the girl wrote at Amazon about the Bach 3E mouthpiece I read a few minutes ago. A shallow cup mouthpiece, writing about the 3E makes the note easier to play. Not as Much effort required to produce the note. You can play a double G as you demonstrated in this video on an mellow A cup Bach mouthpiece, and I could play a loud piecing G an octave lower and some people would be unable to discern the difference in pitch! A young woman played a beautiful Herbert L. Clarke solo accompanied by a piano player here on youtube.com. She had beautiful tone throughout her solo using a Bach 1C I think it was. Broke on every high note.
Kurt I'm 75 playing kon a jettone Bill CHASE model I also play in Drum Corps having a little trouble. On my upper register. What can you recommend for. Me.
these days usually a BACH 3E, but for a pure, never played the horn beginner? 7c, 5c, 3c or anything in that range. They are just trying to get a buzz and see if they want to keep going with the trumpet or ....play clarinet or guitar

It would have been nice if you had described the differences in the mouthpieces. Not being a Bach player, (Irving Bush w3c), I wouldn't know the differences.
When in high school i switched from 7c to 7m when i purchased a new trumpet. I was teen then and now am 70 years old. The change ruined me. I went from 1 chair and winning a scholar ship to dropping out of band all together. It was not long after i switched that i could not play a single note.
Hey man so ive been playing the trumpet since 5th grade and played a 7c (still do cause thats all i have but i have 30 bucks so i can buy a new one) and i got braces sadly and i wanted to know what mouth piece will help me play higher notes easier
@@TRUMPETSIZZLE guess what, i bought it i have it and its pretty nice. Now all i need is music to play and some musician friends to play with cause well im lonely and practicing by myself is werid

thank you. Now how about the rim differences, that inconsistencies has been my main source of frustration with Bach. I feel comfortable with a 6 but it does not do high very well. The 5c and 3c have rims too wide for my lips. I have an antique unmarked mouthpiece that increased my high range but it is awkward on the bottom.
Well, I already took at that years ago. First, you can't too much on the guy and there is NOTHING with him playing anywhere on youtube. Also, little to know student reviews from his personal students or players that have read the method. Certainly, no video reviews by the same crowd. Last: Lowell Little, Gordon, Stamps, and some others seem to have similar stuff that i bet....Charles got from them! So players aren't going to fare much better with this book unfortunately.
Hey Kurt! My name is Ryan, and was looking for some advice with the breaks from Double G to Double A.
