Description

This is an approximately 3C trumpet mouthpiece. It uses the megatone style to add weight to the mouthpiece and reduce vibrations. However, the megatone style is counteracted by plastics' lower density compared to metals. That still means that this mouthpiece can more closely play like a metal mouthpiece than other plastic ones. 3C means that it has a deeper cup than the standard 7C, and therefore produces a richer tone with the trade off of high notes being more difficult to reach. However, I have personally noticed little difference in high register difficulty.

The mouthpiece has been tested by many trumpet players ranging from beginners to professionals and band directors, and all of them have told me that it is better than every other plastic mouthpiece they've tried, even compared to some metal ones.

I improved this model by increasing printability.
