Hello AllI too am a re-starter ( crikey, there are so many of us the world will soonbe overrun by old horn blowers ) after a 6 year layoff. I move house nextmonth to a new abode with no-one attached - YEAH!!I did all my previous playing ( some 15 years ) on a Bach 7C mouthpiece.However, I see a lot of posts in this group singing the praises of the 5C as agood one to re-start with.1) What part of the mouthpiece is different between a 5 and a 7?2) Is it worth me shelling at 40 pounds on a new one, or should I just take upagain with trusty old steed?Many thanks,Nige- Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network -Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Owndennis13.12.98 00:00. Wrote 2) Is it worth me shelling at 40 pounds on a new one, or should I just take up again with trusty old steed?try and find a place that will let you try them. (take rubbing alcohol toclean them, in case they don't have anything) go in a room,and try a 7c 5c and 3c, and see which one you like.a lot of people like the 3c which is very similar in size to the 7c,but gives a little more flexability, i think.after you get to where you have built up some strength, (for me, 8 monthsof hard work) try a 1b.
Bach 3c Trumpet Mouthpiece
That seems to give a nice combination of flexabilityand good tone for me. (whichever bach you use, find one of the old ones withthe smaller letters. The new ones with the bigger letters are generally regardedas belonging in the hole at the bottom of the outhouse)while you're at it, try any others brands they have.if they have laskey mp's try them. They seem to be the ravethese days.here is a chart for evaluating some generalities. Not everythingapplies to everybody, given the differing amountds of pressure people use,embouchure, teeth/lip formation, etc.-«.-.¸¸.´¯`.º.´¯`.¸¸.º.¸¸.´¯`.º.´¯`.¸¸.-.»-change nospam to wdhill to reply to me by e-mail-dennis13.12.98 00:00.
I recently started playing again (5 months ago) after 15 years. I havealways played a 5C. After playing these 5 months part time, I am back at100% of what I was 15 years ago. Don't know if a 7C would have made anydifference one way or another.just a data point.Timwrote in message.Hello AllI too am a re-starter ( crikey, there are so many of us the world will soonbe overrun by old horn blowers ) after a 6 year layoff.

After playing these 5 months part time, I am back at 100% of what I was 15 years ago. Don't know if a 7C would have made any difference one way or another.just a data point.I also recently started again after a 20 years of using my Benge as acloset ornament. I have three mouthpieces, all Bach, which consist of a7C, a 5C, and a 10 3/4 CW. When I first picked my horn up again a fewweeks ago, I was using the 10 3/4 CW because I had no chops at allanymore, and it's wide rim felt comfortable to me. However, many peoplehere suggested using the 5C, which is what I have been doing. I havefound their suggestions to be good ones, and I now prefer the 5C overthe others.
3c Vs 5c Mouthpiece
(The 7C just don't feel good at all anymore, since I'm not akid anymore.) I don't know if there is another mp out there that may doeven better for me, but for now I'm practicing with the 5C, and it seemsto be working well.Speaking of practicing, I've also picked up a copy of the Arbon book, aswell as a couple of song books. I'm not very good yet, but I'm finding alot of enjoyment and a lot of challenge. I can actually play real notesabove the staff again now, although I don't have a lot of endurance.I've seen some things on the web that I'm interested in as well. I'vebeen finding this group to be a great resource.EJrettub14.12.98 00:00. Not worth buying a new one, unless you havetried the 5c & like it.Larger mouthpieces are currently favored, & most professionalplayers play on rocks the size of the Bach 3 or Schilke 15, withSymphony players frequently opting for larger cup Diameters.There are still, however, many fine players with the finest soundone could reasonably want playing on things the size of a 7c, &even smaller. Case in point: Bobby Shew.This is, at least, how I find things in Texas.
Other parts of the worldcould & probably do differ. But I think it's safe advice anywhere tostart where you left off, at least untill you find something you like better.Bill AdamDallas, TX USAStanton14.12.98 00:00.

A lot of folks like it for that reason. However, the 3C and7C are really not similar at all from a construction and sizestandpoint. The 3C is wide and shallow, whereas the 7C is narrow andsomewhat deep.
3c Vs 7c Trumpet Mouthpiece For Sale
It is almost a misnomer to classify the 3C as a 'C' cupmouthpiece as it is almost shallow enough to qualify as a 'D' (thoughBach makes a 3D).As I was REALLY interested in giving an informed answer about the 5c vs7c, I opened my MP drawer to search for the appropriate mp's. As Isearched I found my 5C, and old Elkhart 7C, a MOUNT VERNON 7C and an newCNC 7C. Lets just talk about the 7c's for a minute.The new CNC 7c sounded and felt like garbage. What a brittle, brittlesound. It will make someone a great paperweight some day. The oldElkhart was playable, but felt restricted and not all that focused. Vernon, otoh, was really surprising.

The sound was focused. Just theright amount of resistance. An overall nice playing mouthpiece.I do have to go back and qualify what I said about 7c's in my previouspost(s).
I still stand by what I wrote, but will admit that the Mt.Vernon 7c is a mouthpiece worthy of consideration when a large sound isnot needed.The 5c was the superior sounding mouthpiece, seconded by the Mt Vernon7C. The 5C did not take much more effort to play and is only marginallylarger feeling than the Elkhart 7C. The sound, however, is much, muchrounder and fuller. I think I would feel very comfortable on the 5C,were I not playing on larger equipment comfortably.So, to summarize. Equating Bach mouthpiece sizes, one must be acutelyaware of when and how each individual mouthpiece was made (in additionto their legendary inconsistency). Then throw in different rim widthsand cups and backbores. How can we even discuss these thingsintellitgently?
It is a daunting task, no?See y'all at Midwest,SKMWB1JR26.12.98 00:00.
