Hi, good video. I used to study on big rims like 1.25bach, but due to an injure on my top lip i am switching to small rims and i feel that if you want a good classical/symphonic tone on a small mouthpiece you have to use larger throat and backbore sizes. These are a game changer in terms of quality of sounds
Hey Mariano, thanks for commenting! Yeah, I think I agree with that. I use a pretty free blowing throat and B/B, tighter B/B for lead. If I'm playing more legit or jazz then I go to a large backbore. How small have you gone?
Ha! I used live on tiny cups. I never cared about tone, just high notes. I've since started over with much larger mouthpieces. My cornet mouthpiece is like a French horn mouthpiece. My repair guy called it a toilet bowl! But the tone, so big and open. Deep v. Right now I'm switching between a marciOkiwicz 3 and 15. Opposites, for sure, but the 3 gets great tone. More easy range on the 15. Cheers!
Hey, thanks for the comment! I don't think I could convincingly argue that small mouthpieces are the best but I do think that argument goes both ways. If I played more regularly in a classical / legit environment then a slightly larger rim diameter would make sense for blend and the range I'm working in. I've not had the chance to use a deep v cup style of my tpt rim but the flugel piece I use is an older back 3c which is perfect. Great comment man and very important to highlight that its not all about range!
I'm so glad to read your comment. I kind of did the same thing. Started dabbling around with small mouthpieces only to find that my tone really thinned out and the higher notes really weren't that great sounding. Ran into a lead player that played for Denver and the Mile High Orchestra who played on a bach 3B and that is where I stayed. Yes, my range initially dipped downward quite a bit and I got tired much more easily, but after working on that larger cup, my range came back with more more power and depth. Now routinely hitting double Gs and As with power and good sound quality. But finding I have to stay on it to keep it. Price to pay for range I suppose.
@@thomasodowd4660 I dare say we have to learn to evlove with our playing. When I've played lead / commercial work on larger equipment I have always been happy with the sound. I was quite surprised when I could also achieve the sound, range and stamina on smaller equipment. I think attention to detail is a little harder on smaller equipment, less force, more placement. This is the same for any setup up course but part of my problem is that I muscle the sound a little, more so on larger equipment and this would show at softer volumes where my sound wasn't clear. I could make it clear but that's not efficient. Currently on the 0.630 size rim I can play softer and cleaner than on any of my larger equipment. I wonder, what does it feel like if you try a smaller piece? I think is great that you've got setup that helps you connect with your sound, which in my opinion is huge part of playing efficiently.
i’ve playd ar resonance d cup and my dad bought me the sergei mouthpiece like 30mins ago. it feels sooooooo gooood and my sound is so good comparing to the d cup. size def matters.( in mouthpieces)
Thanks for commenting! Yes, it can make a huge difference but always bare in mind that your sound should guide you. I love AR Resonance equipment, congratulations on the equipment and follow your ears!
@@iam62goinon63 hey there! Really good question! I'm afraid O dont know but most mainstream mouthpiece makers will have options that may suit. I'd start with Schilke and Bach, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with bugle shanks but maybe a cornet mouthpiece would be an option? Good luck!
Mouthpiece design, and desired effects, is a very subjective subject. For me ones that physically help me hit higher notes more consistently force me to sacrifice tone fullness, and texture, making it sound more shrill, in my opinion.
That's a very interesting point. Shouldn't a musician be employed for their individual qualities, qualities that will add to or enhance genre or specific.
@@CameronJay Possibly. I have a naturally broad sound, but I was encouraged to learn to play with different sounds for different purposes. I think a lot of orchestral conductors want a brighter sound these days. Might be the C trumpet influence in popular recordings.

Where can I get a 15mm inner rim size for my bugle

I never know what sound conductors are looking for! That's another issue with mouthpiece choice.

Yeah, the C trumpet has a clarity that even the most focused of Bb sounds can't match.
