Im intresting about this cup made by GR C* or C**, if one of you have tried one, can you give some information about it. thx, stef
I have tried a C, C* and C** (all 67 rims). I liked the C best for C trumpet and the C* best for Bb. The C** didn't seem to match any of my horns, I ended up using the C on Eb as well. They seemed to give a full tone, a little brighter than I was used to but not much and after playing on them for a few days I hardly noticed. Playing the C in the C and the C* in Bb they felt very much the same, though when i tried both in the same trumpet the C felt more open, slightly larger. The C* just matched my Bb better...there was a distinct sound difference. These are the best orchestral cups that GR designs, that's what they're billed as. They can be used in all around situations, but i don't b elieve there is anything thats bigger or more orchestral than these. I happen to be selling my GRs, the C** is gone, but if you want the C or C* email me. Stuart
HI Stuart, Thanks for your reply. Unfortunetly im confortable with the 66 diameter , the 67 will be too large for me (today i play a Parle Merkelo 270-630 on my Bb trumpet). Just to be curious, after the GR67C (*) you moved to? Thkx, stef CALICCHIO R37 PARKE MERKELO 270-630 COUESNON MONOPOLE CURRY 5FL
Sorry it took so long, I don't visit often, rather busy. I'm back to a stock 1.5B. I'm rather immune to mouthpieces, except for extremes and sound so it seems, and Im comfortable on that. I have some major issues to fix in my playing 'fore i start screwing around again. Stuart
