Bach Trumpet Mouthpiece

Vincent Bach Trumpet Mouthpiece (silver plate) When selecting a mouthpiece, a brass instrumentalist should choose one with a solid, compact tone of large volume. A carefully selected Bach mouthpiece can help improve a player’s embouchure, attack, tonguing and endurance. Professional musicians and advanced students prefer the musical results of large mouthpieces, such as the Bach 1B, 1C, 11⁄4C, 11⁄2B, 11⁄2C, 21⁄2C, 3C, which provide a maximum volume of tone with the least amount of effort. By opening up the lips so that they do not touch, the larger mouthpiece produces a clearer, purer tone. The large cup diameter also allows a greater portion of the lip to vibrate, producing a larger volume of tone, and keeps a player from forcing high tones by encouraging the correct functioning of the lip muscles. However, a student may find a medium-sized mouthpiece suitable, and our 7C mouthpiece is our most popular beginner mouthpiece. Models with no letter designation have deep cups, #10 backbores, and produce a rich, full, clear tone. “B” Models have medium deep cups, #7 backbores, and have a full, teutonic tone with great volume. “C” Models have medium cups, #10 backbores, and are preferred by many players that alternate between Bb, C and D trumpet. “D” Models have medium-shallow cups, #76 backbores, and produce a sparkling, brilliant tone, especially in the high register. Artists who continually play in the extreme high register use them to advantage. 1 1X 1B 1C 1CW 1CW 1E 1-1/4C 1-1/2B 1-1/2C 2 2C 2-1/2C 2-3/4C 3 3B 3C 3CW 3D 3E 3F 5A 5B 5V 5MV 5SV 5C 5V 5MV 5SV 5C 6 6B 6BM 6C 7 7A 7B 7BW 7C 7CW 7D 7DW 7E 7EW
