Vincent Bach Classic Trumpet Mouthpiece - Silver Plated

When selecting a Bach trumpet mouthpieces a brass instrumentalist should choose one that allows the player to produce 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 1, 1 1/4C, 1 1/2C, 2 & 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.

Do not select a certain mouthpiece just because another trumpet player uses it. No two players have the same lip or tooth formation, what is perfect for one may be entirely unsuitable for the other. Bach produces many different models so that each player can find the best mouthpiece for their individual embouchure.
