Product Overview
This mouthpiece is discounted because Delrin trumpet tops have been discontinued.
Top 10 Mouthpiece! - Similar to Bach 3E - Excellent choice for an extra shallow lead mouthpiece to complement a Bach 1-1/2C, 3C, or similar “legit” mouthpiece
Highlights:
- Slightly smaller than a Schilke 14A4A, with a shallower cup similar in depth to a Schilke 13A4A
- ES cup provides maximum brilliance, projection, and slotting in extreme upper register playing
- Surprisingly good low register for an extra shallow lead mouthpiece
Specifications:
- Inner Diameter: .660 inches measured .04 inches into the cup
- Outer Diameter: 1.114 inches
- Cup Depth: ES (Extra Shallow) cup (similar to a Schilke 6A4A, Schilke 13A4A, Bach 3E, and GR ES cup)
- Intended to maximize upper register performance when playing commercial lead or similar types of playing
- Produces a bright sound and excellent projection while still maintaining an accessible lower register that does not sound restricted
- Backbore: Best used on a S (Small) backbore which can be purchased here
Delrin:
- Feels softer on the chops because it has more give than metal. This is a great advantage for players with braces.
- Not as slippery as silver, giving more grip.
- Added grip makes Delrin mouthpieces feel smaller than their metal counterparts with the same size designation.
- Not as smooth as metal, so some players may feel slight chop irritation for the first day or two while they adjust.
- More comfortable to play in cold weather because they feel warm on the chops.
- Plastic mouthpieces are more responsive than brass, making soft entries more secure.
- Articulation less crisp with less point at the front of the note compared to brass.
- Darker sound than brass.
- Less core in the sound compared to brass.
- Sounds darker than brass mouthpiece when used with brass or stainless steel backbore.
