Another question guys

what size mouthpiece do you use? And why?

I use a 3C, and find its a good allrounder - up and and below the stave (not that we go there much!! lol)

I use a Faxx 3C good alround MP.

I also use a Shew 2, but i only use this for pub and club gigs with rock bands and stuff, this is good fun to scream Very high notes on:)

I recently bought a Kelly 3c (plastic job) to use as a backup MP.

Havent tried it yet, but will tonite at practice.

Will let you know how it goes!

Tried the Kelly.

Wasnt an immediate fan. Kept mispitching all over the place, so i went back to my bach.

To be fair, i only used it for one song. I will give it another try another night to see if it works a bit better for me!

For what it's worth, Ive tried the two different styles types of Kelly horn mp's and couldn't get used to them at all. I leave one in each car in case I stupidly forget my horn mouthpice on a gig.
I still dabble with cornet at times, starting on cornet years ago before seeing the light and going to horn and I have always preffered the Bach 7C which is the regular standbye I suppose.

When playing cornet I use a Denis Wick 2B.

I have updated to playing 1C Dennwick. Best move ever! I have had to work more to get use to it but its paying off with beter sound and more range!

1C trumpet mouthpiece? I can see how it will be easier to go screaming up high, but what about down low?
