Learn About Trumpet Mouthpiece Deign and Construction - HEREThe rim contours of each diameter are unique. Although each rim is consistent within it's size range (ex., Curry 1C rim contour is the same as Curry 1Z rim contour), it is much different than the 1 1/4 rim. For example, if the Curry 1 1/2 C rim is the most comfortable rim you've ever felt, but seems a little "tight", it is wrong to assume that moving to the 1 1/4 size would solve that problem. The correct solution would be to get a custom mouthpiece using the 1 1/2C rim contours. The "tightness" issue could be solved in a couple of ways. The rim profile could simply be moved a few thousandths to the outside, or perhaps the bite radius could be increased which would also give a few thousandths more room. There are others ways to get the "feel" you're looking for, but you shouldn't be concerned with that. I'm the mouthpiece makerInner diameter "numbers" mean very little. Most manufacturers reference charts are expressed in both inches and millimeter sizes. One "major" manufacturer's published "numbers" are totally wrong! In fact, the millimeter conversions in their manual do not match the decimal numbers! And, they've reprinted the same mistakes year after year! The point I'm making here is that every manufacturer has different criteria for measuring the inner diameter. My personal criteria for measuring the inner diameter varies from rim to rim. In my 30 plus years of trumpet playing, I've learned that the feel of a mouthpiece can vary from rim to rim. The spot on your face where you "feel" a 1C rim is much different than the "contact point of the 1 1/2C rim. Although they only vary in "size" by a few thousandths of an inch, the difference in feel can seem like a country mile. Don't get hung up on the numbers too much. If they do matter to you, buy some dial calipers. A good enough pair (Chinese-made are just fine) of calipers will run about $60 in an industrial supply store. By the way, of my several thousa

The Curry precision mouthpieces have super high tolerances and they produce the most consistent mouthpieces in the industry. The rim and bite are identical for all cups in a given diameter. This allows for effortless switching. Classic mouthpieces are high-tech reproductions of 30 plus year old originals.Learn About Trumpet Mouthpiece Deign and Construction - HEREThe rim contours of each diameter are unique.

The Opera 545 trumpet mouthpiece is designed for symphony p
... Read more
The Opera 545 trumpet mouthpiece is designed for symphony players, jazz players and others desiring a less aggressive, more legitimate sound with good projection. The upper rim has a well defined inner edge for reliable upper lip suspension, good flexibility and clean attack. The rim surface is semi curved with a slightly higher inboard surface, and slightly softened outside edge for comfort and endurance. The bottom rim inner edge has also been softened to improve low register performance and flexibility. The #2 Schmitt style backbore, effectively deeper cup (minimal cup/backbore separation) and 25 throat (.150") along with massive cup and shank weighting tend to provide excellent slotting and a somewhat darker, more Teutonic sound, ideal for symphonic, operatic or jazz performances. Enhanced range and endurance are here, too. This combination of features in a legitimate, orchestral mouthpiece is hard to find.

... Read more
Laskey Trumpet MouthpiecesThe 65 SeriesOnly slightly smaller than the 68 series, these mouthpieces have a slightly thicker rim with a slightly softer bite.Cup Sizes AvailableMC, MD, S, and ESHow Cup Depth Affects SoundMany times players believe that their playing ranges are based on the depth of a mouthpiece cup--if the cup is shallow then they will be able to play higher. The truth is, range is based on your ability to vibrate your lips at a given frequency. The cup depth will not affect how fast you can vibrate your lips. What the cup depth will affect is the color of the tone you are capable of producing. The deeper cups will assist in producing a thicker, darker sound. The shallower cups will support a register that you already are capable of producing, as well as help create a more brilliant sound.What Do the Sizes Mean?Laskey trumpet rims are listed by the approximate inside diameter measurement. If a mouthpiece measures .680 inches on the ID, the size is the last two digits or 80.Throat SizeStandard throat size on all trumpet mouthpieces is .144 (#27). Our standard backbore has been designed to provide ideal intonation, support and projection..

Created by John Lynch, professional trumpet player and nuclear physicist/engineer, the Asymmetric Lead 342 Trumpet Mouthpiece is an incredible innovation in mouthpiece technology. If you're tired of playing the same old, warmed-over version of a 1938 radially symmetric trumpet mouthpiece, try the new Asymmetric! It extends the range of your trumpet a half-octave! The Lead 342 mouthpiece is the ultimate embodiment of the concept, having laserlike cutting power and a bright, full, brutal sound. Semi-flat upper rim, 24 throat, and a dual semi-tight backbore. Asymmetric Lead 342 mouthpiece comes with pouch and brush.

Schilke Trumpet MouthpieceSchilke Mouthpiece Numbering SystemsThe Schilke method of mouthpiece labeling has been designed to assist the student, teacher, amateur and professional in selecting a mouthpiece to meet the needs of the player. All mouthpieces come with standard rim shapes, cup volumes, and backbores unless shown otherwise on the mouthpieces. This method enables the player to know the characteristics of their trumpet mouthpiece.Example: a trumpet mouthpiece using this method might be called 9C3cUsing this example, 9 refers to the CUP DIAMETER Smallest numbers have smallest diameters C E. Large C refers to the CUP VOLUME A. Small Cup B. Medium-small C. Standard (medium size) D. Medium-large E. Large 3 refers to the RIM CONTOUR 1 Rounded 2 Semi-rounded 3 Standard 4 Semi-flat 5 Only slightly rounded c refers to the BACKBORE a. Tight b. Straight c. Standard d. Slightly curved out e. Large When a Schilke mouthpiece has a standard backbore, rim and cup, only the cup diameter (first number) is shown on the mouthpiece. In the example above only the #9 is necessary to identify the mouthpiece because the C is the standard cup volume, 3 is the standard rim, and c is the standard backbore. Whenever measurements differ from the standard sizes the alterations are shown on the mouthpiece.CUP DIAMETER (First number in label)Most trumpet and cornet mouthpieces have a cap diameter that falls between .600" and . 725". Nos. 1 to 25 in the Schilke system represent sections of .005" each between these two measurements. Cup diameters for mouthpieces other than trumpet and cornet are relative to each other with the smallest numbers representing the smallest diametersCUP VOLUME (First letter in label)In general the deep cup mouthpieces produce the darkest sounds. In reverse the shallow cup mouthpieces produce the brightest sounds and also aid in the production of the high register.
