Is a 3C mouthpiece bigger than a 7C?
the 3C is slightly wider with a slightly shallower cup and a somewhat different rim design. The 7C is slightly deeper with a slightly narrower cup diameter, and a much sharper, more precise rim.
How do I know what size trumpet mouthpiece I need?
The cup depth is designated by a number (eg 7). A larger number will give a “shallower” cup, and a smaller rim diameter. A 1½C will be deeper than 7C and have a larger inner rim diameter. A 12C will be very shallow with a small inner rim diameter.
What is a 7C trumpet mouthpiece good for?
The Bach 7C produces a brilliant, clear tone capable of floating above or cutting through the sound of any ensemble. A favorite of advanced players with a fine-tuned embouchure, the 7C is also a popular choice for students in need of a mouthpiece with a smaller diameter.
What is the difference between a 5C and 7C trumpet mouthpiece?
Tye 7C is NOT a small mouthpiece. It is smaller than a 5C, indeed, but there are many players playing equipment smaller than a 10 1/2C. If you find you are having trouble getting a good sound, it is YOU and the mouthpiece, not just the mouthpiece.
