Please consider supporting the Samuel Plays Brass channel on Patreon at: https://patreon.com/SamuelPlaysBrass In the first episode of this series (https://youtu.be/0YtXsvap4z4), we talked about each commonly-varied parameter of the trumpet mouthpiece. Feel free to revisit if you're foggy on any of that material. Today, we are talking more about the trends between the variation of different specs, and how you can choose a mouthpiece that works more efficiently for your preferred style or natural approach to playing. As it turns out, the Bach 3C is DEFINITELY not everyone's cup of tea. Some players need more support in the high register. Others desire a richer, warmer tone. Others yet desire the polar opposite and find it sounds TOO dull or dark for their use. Every one of these concerns is legitimate and deserves to be addressed in its own unique way. That, hopefully, is what we address today. Enjoy! ~CHAPTERS~ 0:00 Opening Remarks 1:49 1. Personal Fit (IMPORTANT!) 4:46 2a. Classical/Concert Tone 5:55 2b. Solo/Combo/Chamber Tone 6:48 2c.
