I play a Yamaha 17 C 4 which supposed to be about the same size as the bach 1 1/4 C. I am extremely happy with this mouthpiece. Every notes from low to high is clear and full.

[@harrelsontrumpets]

The Yamaha has a different Rim shape than the Bach.

@@harrelsontrumpets and more comfortable forme

[@keithsimpson2446]

I play on a 1 1/2 c. Is there much difference from 1.5 c?

[@paulgrimm6850]

The Bach Artisan mouthpiece has returned to the old days of Bach. I’m playing on a 1C . No bite and comfortable

[@jean-pierredevent970]

I suffered for years from cutting Bach mouthpieces. Then I could accidentally borrow a Bach 2C and it changed my life immediately. I keep sticking to that now although I can play much else too now as long as they are "flat".. The high point is close to the bowl so it doesn't feel big. Checked with a little 1 eurocent, the diameter seems however bigger than given up (16.5) . The 5C plays much more colorful. It sounds still bright but in a neutral and friendly way, without ear damaging piercing. The 1.5 C plays more flexible, more wide spreading and big. It was my favorite for years but the high register is stuffy for me. (The megatone 2C version is "bigger" but sounds even more neutral). The 3C is really brighter, more commercial and will most likely please more people. (for me it's good for Es trumpet only) This mouthpiece plays easily high, is very versatile and flexible enough after learning how to control it but few play on it.

You need a Harrelson Modular Mouthpiece! www.whyharrelson.com/store/c5/Mouthpieces.html

[@loveleyday]

Really enjoying your mouthpiece demos. Two things: Early Bach mouthpieces apparently suffer from shocking inconsistencies due to tooling wear. It is said that they didn't account for tool wear and thus some 3c mouthpieces are larger than later 1c mouthpieces. I think you must have found one! Second, is there any possibility of you using a spectrum analyzer to show the difference between your own mouthpiece on the HTC6 and each mouthpiece you analyse like this? Sure would be interesting.

[@harrelsontrumpets]

Hi Nicholas, I have planned to post videos comparing many different mouthpieces as you have requested. Concerning inconsistent mouthpieces marked the same size, this problem is true of older and newer Bach mouthpieces due to many variables including the change of tooling, machinery, programming and vendors over time. I have measured modern Bach 3C mouthpieces that are also nowhere near the standard size!

[@seth094978]

Trent Austin says he had a Bach 1.5C that he really liked and turned out to be basically a 5C!

[@777dingo]

How would it work for Jazz or lead trumpet in a band, also the Yamaha Tom Hooton signature MP is comparable to Bach 1.25C but is more comfortable.

[@LCHenderson]

Thank You Sir 😎

[@paulgrimm6850]

You Sir,are a wealth of info. Thank you. Do smaller throats take less air to produce a nice tone?

[@harrelsontrumpets]

Yes, smaller throats will reduce air flow. When combined with the correct backbore, the tone can be more open than a larger throat.

What Is The Largest Diameter For Trumpet On The Market? What Is Larger Than A Bach 1C?

[@armenk8293]

Wayne Bergeron GR Studio model next?

[@paulgrimm]

Really good in the Bach Artisan series

[@christiankirby9650]

For people with bigger lips would you recommend this? The 7c I play is too small can barely get the coin the staff

[@NareshKumar-vp6qq]

Thank you very much I like this🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹

[@paulgrimm]

You sound great on this one

[@harrelsontrumpets]

Thanks

[@Calvin1985]

Chuck Norris's lead mouthpiece.

[@sebthi7890]

Chuck Norris should not try to play trumpet even he shaved his beard

[@AliasgarVirdiwala]

So which mouthpiece according to you is better for large intervals and upper registers?

[@harrelsontrumpets]

Your question has a surprising answer. You may need to fine tune both your Rim/Cup dimensions and your impedance at the leadpipe venturi. This can be achieved with the Harrelson VGR system and the 5MM Mouthpiece system.

[@AliasgarVirdiwala]

@@harrelsontrumpets How is that possible sir?

[@ericclaptonsrobotpilot7276]

Can I guess what size? Hate to tell you bro, but it's in the title.

[@giuseppegira2836]

Salute a lei Maestro.. Avrebbe gentilmente la possibilità di provare e anche fare un video su bocchino Bruno Tilz series T - 3 B?.. grazie mille!

[@SamuelPlaysBrass]

Geeze, 0.67 rim, deeper cup than the typical C, AND a wide throat? Don't tempt me like that ;)

[@tooter1able]

Great job explaining the importance of the rim size and feel. Thanks. Is there an all around mp for Jazz-classical -pop? a personal preference issue? Best

[@harrelsontrumpets]

It depends on your dental structure and playing preferences. I would recommend the Harrelson 5MM for you.

[@杨洵霁]

The throat is larger than 25#? Maybe it is modified.

[@harrelsontrumpets]

nope, it's original

[@paulgrimm]

But with a Bach ,anything goes?Nuts

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

Why does no one simply press some modeling clay in there to show comparisons?

[@harrelsontrumpets]

because it wouldn't help anyone

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

Harrelson Trumpets It would illustrate the shape of the bowl.

[@harrelsontrumpets]

Which would not help anyone because almost every traditional mouthpiece bowl looks very similar. A deeper understanding of the mouthpiece is necessary to make any useful assessments.

[@apolloskyfacer5842]

D*mn ! You wouldn't want to accidentally spill that pin box and its contents on the floor !
