I have three trumpets. Bach Bundy and Strad, and a random one that's really old.

How do plastic mouthpieces effect your tone?

hopeful_romantic Wow a Strad? isn't that a bit dark sounding? I thought that that's usually the sound you're supposed to be going for. I know that even in marching band, we do exercises that are supposed to darken the bright sound.

I know that even in marching band, we do exercises that are supposed to darken the bright sound. Yeah, it gives off a really nice sound. I march with the Bundy, though, so I do longtones all the time to make sure I get a good sound. I personally like the sound silver trumpets have better than I like the brass.

Ah well, I dont blame you for not taking your Strad out on the field. Marching band can do funny things to a trumpet. I march with my Yamaha, and it has so many dents in it, and the leadpipe was stepped on. So now the mouthpiece goes in it crooked, and I have to hold my trumpet sideways so that the sound still projects forward. XD

I accidently stepped on my Bundy while teaching everyone to march ^_^; the bell net to the left, so I had to bend it back to the right. The sound isn't affected...but now it looks even uglier than it used to!

I use my King during practice during marching season. I use my Bach during concert season and when we perform for UIL and contests in marching band.

soloft I've got a Bach Stradivarius and a King. What size mouthpieces do y'all use? I got 7C and a 3C a couple weeks ago, to get away from the 5B a little. The 3C feels so much better since it's brand new, compared to my three-years-old 5B. xDD

zomg B) soloft I've got a Bach Stradivarius and a King. What size mouthpieces do y'all use? I got 7C and a 3C a couple weeks ago, to get away from the 5B a little. The 3C feels so much better since it's brand new, compared to my three-years-old 5B. xDD Yeah, I got a 3C too. It's alot easier to hit high notes with isn't it? Also makes the sound less whiny, a little more dark and full sound.

We play Vader's theme in the stands, but I think I'm going to work on convincing my director to let us play a medley of songs from the movies. Anyhoo, the show we're working on now is classic rock. We're doing 25 or 6 to 4, Carry on My Wayward Son (a trumpet feature. w00t!), and tomorrow we start the drill for Pinball Wizard.
