NEW mouthpiece gap solution: Frost Threaded Sleeves

[@GDM223SR]

Great video, thanks. I’d add that the turn-counter-clockwise-to-click trick is useful for all threads, all situations, not just mouthpieces. (Taught to me by Dad the machinist.)

[@JonTalksTrumpet]

Yes!! Reverse threading is so important! Glad you enjoyed, Steve, thanks for watching!

Warburton figured out how to use the gap to their advantage and make it into something that helps you slot notes and I love it so much. If you could check out Warburton trumpets that would be cool every trumpet feels different and you could find the perfect one I use a 231 which I love it feels so open.

I will definitely have to check this out! Thanks for the informative video!

Great video! Very interesting also, if you play not only one trumpet...

[@rubenproost2552]

At one time I had this trumpet where I needed to sand a millimeter off the shank of the mouthpiece so it would not bottom out. So the gap would have been none. lol. It played alright tho, but bending notes was difficult.

[@JonTalksTrumpet]

Haha!!! Glad you got it to fit properly - even if the approach had to be a bit primitive 😂

These are a big step up from Reeves sleeves!

[@JonTalksTrumpet]

Reeves certainly deserves a lot of credit for creating probably the earliest commercial gap sleeves and inspiring other manufacturers to take gap more seriously (as well as creating many many fabulous mouthpieces) - but yes I definitely prefer this threaded version!

How to get these mouthpiece gap sleeves ??

[@JonTalksTrumpet]

Google Frost Custom Brass or you can find them on Facebook and Instagram!

[@notcharlamagne1606]

is it me or was the Less than stock gap more out of tune?

[@JonTalksTrumpet]

Yes, probably! The slots are more slippery which means you can't micromanage intonation as much without accidentally moving to the next note.
