12 best trumpet mouthpieces
Trumpet mouthpieces are a crucial component of a trumpet player's gear, significantly influencing the instrument's tone, playability, and overall performance. Here's what you need to know about trumpet mouthpieces:
Design and Construction: Trumpet mouthpieces are typically made from brass or other metal alloys. They consist of a cup, rim, throat, and backbore. The cup is the deepest part and affects the overall tone, while the rim provides comfort and grip for the player. The throat and backbore influence airflow and projection.
Sizes and Types: Trumpet mouthpieces come in various sizes, categorized by their cup depth and rim shape. Common designations include shallow, medium, and deep cups, as well as round and V-shaped rims. Players choose mouthpieces based on their playing style, desired tone, and personal preferences.
Cup Depth: Shallow cups produce brighter, more focused tones, while deeper cups create darker, mellower tones. Players who need to play in higher registers or produce a piercing sound may prefer shallow cups, while those aiming for a warmer tone may opt for deeper cups.
Rim Shape: The shape of the rim can affect comfort and playability. Round rims provide a smooth, even surface for the lips, while V-shaped rims may offer more control over articulation and precision.
Throat and Backbore: The throat and backbore influence airflow and resistance. A larger throat and backbore can result in increased volume and projection but may require more effort to play. Smaller dimensions may offer better control and articulation.
Brands and Models: Many manufacturers produce trumpet mouthpieces, including Bach, Yamaha, Schilke, and Vincent Bach. Each brand offers a range of models with varying specifications to suit different playing styles and needs.
Personal Preference: Choosing the right mouthpiece is highly individual. Players often experiment with different mouthpieces to find the one that complements their playing style and produces the desired sound. It's essential to consult with experienced players or a music teacher for guidance.
Maintenance: Proper care of a trumpet mouthpiece is essential for longevity and performance.Regular cleaning and sterilization are necessary to prevent bacterial growth and maintain hygiene. Specialized mouthpiece brushes and cleaning solutions are available for this purpose.
Compatibility: Trumpet mouthpieces are designed for specific instruments. Ensure that the mouthpiece you choose is compatible with your trumpet's receiver size and design to achieve the best results.
In summary, trumpet mouthpieces are a critical component of a trumpeter's toolkit, allowing for customization of tone and playability. Choosing the right mouthpiece requires consideration of cup depth, rim shape, throat, backbore, and personal preferences, and it's essential to maintain and clean your mouthpiece for optimal performance.

User questions & answers
Question: | is it metal or plastic |
Answer: | Metal. It is fine for student use. I buy them for my band students. Plastic mouthpieces should only be used in extremely cold weather to stop mouthpiece from sticking to lips. They really don't respond as well as metal. |
Question: | Does it work with an Olds Coronet |
Answer: | HAVEN'T tried it, but my son, the trumpet player, says yes. |
Question: | Does it fit in a bundy |
Answer: | If it is a Bundy TRUMPET, yes. Cornets require a different size mouthpiece. All trumpets will take these Glory trumpet mouthpieces. |
Question: | Do these mouthpieces contain lead |
Answer: | I am pretty sure that all brass mouthpieces contain lead because they are made of brass. That is why they are plated with gold, silver, or nickel. If you start seeing the plating wear off, it should be re-plated (if it is an expensive mouthpiece) or replaced as in the case of these. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Does this fit all trumpets I’m having trouble getting it to work |
Answer: | It did not fit (was too thick for) my trombone at the most inward setting, but I would assume it would work for a trumpet since the cup of trumpet mouthpieces land much further away from the leadpipe than on a trombone. |

User questions & answers
Question: | whats the eqiv.size bach |
Answer: | According to Mouthpiece Express Specs, the Bobby Shew Lead has a cup diameter of 16.54mm. The Bach 2 series mouthpieces have diameters of 16.50mm. The Bach 2's don't offer a shallow cup, at least from mouthpiece express. Schilke 12's are about the same size ( 16.5mm) as the Bobby Shew lead and Yamaha and Schilke have some similarities due to joint venture in the past. Marcinkiewicz also has a Bobby Shew Lead model with a cup diameter of 16.81mm. Check out the Mouthpiece Express.Com comparison chart for other options. |
Question: | Will it fit a jean paul trumpet |
Answer: | I'm not familiar with the Jean Paul which I see is a student model. It depends on the taper of the mouthpiece receiver. It fits fine in my King Silver Flair, Getzen Eterna Severinsen and Besson 1000. My best guess would be to say "probably but not guaranteed". |
Question: | how does the bobby shew mouth piece compare to the Schilke 14A4A |
Answer: | The BS Lead is more like 12 or 13A4a but with a rounder rim. Schilke 14A4a is bigger, like a Bach 3C, with a flat rim and a tighter throat.There is also a Bobby Shew Jazz which is the same size as the lead but with a deeper cup for a darker sound. But I am no authority. |
Question: | Will this fit a jupiter trumpet |
Answer: | If it's a standard receiver it should. |
