Find the Best Trumpet Mouthpiece for You!

Mouthpieces have a great influence on sound and playing comfort. Of course, everyone has his or her own preferences, but it can be very confusing when deciding which mouthpiece will be your partner from now on among the many mouthpieces lined up.
Therefore, I will simply introduce the characteristics of mouthpieces. Let's find your ideal sound and playing comfort together!

First, I will discuss the three main categories of mouthpieces and their differences.

■ Rim

The rim is the part that directly touches the lips.
The rim varies depending on the inside diameter.
Smaller rims →Higher notes are easier to produce!
Bigger rim →More volume! Stable bass!

■ Cup

This is the bowl-shaped section below the rim.
The depth of the cup varies depending on the depth of the cup.
Deep →Stable low sound! Dark and heavy sound
Shallow →Easy to produce high notes! Bright and gorgeous sound

■ Throat

This is the entrance to the pipe under the cup.
There are differences in throat diameter, which is the size of the entrance.
Narrower throat →Higher resistance to breath. Easy to produce high notes with less fatigue!
Wider →Less resistance to breath. Easy to get tired but produces a loud sound!

Next, I look for the ideal sound and playing comfort based on the characteristics of the rim, cup, and throat.
