Good mouthpiece for high register playing

Karry 12.12.2019

I use this for playing in the high register and to cut over the band when I play in a big band.

The mouthpiece is well built feels great on the lips and is very easy to play, the cup is not too small but gives you an easier time playing in the upper register. As it's not too small, you don't need to significantly adapt your embouchure unlike with some other highly specialised upper register mouthpieces.

It does sound brilliant and may not be right for you if you're looking for something darker in your sound. Though this could be great if you have a dark sound and need to be more brilliant on a gig.

The lower register suffers slightly but this is a necessary compromise to allow for a brighter and easier upper register. it can be difficult to get the volume and accuracy on the lower register especially below middle C. With pedal tones being difficult to produce reliably.

This is a great mouthpiece for anyone looking to get a mouthpiece for higher register playing, it definitely makes the notes easier to play and gives you a more brilliant sound it you're looking to cut through a band. However, bear in mind that it is a specialist mouthpiece and may not be suitable if you're looking for a 'one size fits all' mouthpiece for your playing

I love this mouthpiece. Despite being seen as a very shallow mouthpiece, I actually find it very easy to play with a full sound in both the low and high register and encounter no issues with response. It's quite possible to play with quite a warm sound on this mouthpiece, but it opens up beautifully in the high register too, so I find it to be very flexible.

Ordentliches Lead-Mundstück

Anonymous 22.12.2015

Ich spare mir hier mal die ganzen Loblieder auf den tollen Service bei Thomann. Das dürfte hinlänglich bekannt sein. Die Bewertung bezieht sich also nur auf das Produkt:
Mit diesem Mundstück ist es einfach, einen durchdringenden, scharfen Klang zu erzielen, der für die Lead-Trompete in der Bigband wünschenswert ist.
Bei entsprechendem Ansatz spricht das 14A4a, insbesondere in der Höhe, sehr gut an. Dazu muss aber gesagt werden, dass dafür dementsprechende Übung notwendig ist, da bei derart flachen Mundstücken ansonsten der sogenannte Bottom-Out-Effekt (Wegbrechen des Tones durch Berührung zwischen Lippen und Kesselboden) eintreten kann.
An der Verarbeitung habe ich noch nichts zu bemängeln. Dies kann aber auch daran liegen, dass ich es erst ein halbes Jahr besitze.
Für diejenigen, die sich wirklich auf die Lead-Trompete in der Bigband spezialisieren möchten und sich daran gewöhnen können (Man darf nicht vergessen, dass Mundstücke für Trompeter immer eine sehr individuelle Angelegenheit sind.) ist dieses Mundstück absolut empfehlenswert. Im klassischeren Bereich passt dieses Mundstück auch gut zur Piccolo-Trompete. Offensichtlich ist es ob des flachen Kessels aber nicht für den Einsatz an der B- oder C-Trompete im Symphonieorchester geeignet, da der Klang, wie oben bereits erwähnt, eher scharf ausfällt.
