The Stage 1 mouthpiece - Page 4

BflatAnklan · 11-20-2005, 07:39 PM

visually it looks like an old Martin mouthpiece or a LT Monette piece. Curious to hear it. I've never tried a double cup. I guess if I were looking for a new piece I wouldn't be close minded

oh man how much would it cost to try one of those stage 1 trumpets? I'm kind of in the market for a new horn... i'm either getting a new b flat or a flugel.

Something that I thought I would toss out there, and keep in mind that this could all be in my head, is when I had the cup and rim plated on my Schilke 14A4, it seems like it lost something - while it was easier on the chops in terms of abrasion, it didn't seem to grip quite like it did prior to plating.

Definitely keep it an option between silver and gold.

Thanks guys for all your input.
I will have both options open then.

Which one would you like to try?
And which instrument do you use more,a Bb or a Flugel?

Weedyweidenthal · 11-21-2005, 09:27 PM

well i'd love to try one of the prototypes but i've heard that all your trumpets are good so i'd LIKE to try them all. I definitely use trumpet more but i would also use the flugel quite a bit. hey i've got an idea how about you drop me an e-mail at sk8rdude1990@aol.com... i think i might be able to help you out a little bit.

I've only ever played one gold mouthpiece and it was that yamaha thing that came with the Xeno. I didn't like the size so i couldn't tell if i liked gold plate

what exactly does it do and why does it work? all anybody has ever told me is that it makes the sound softer or that it doesn't do anything.

Ok Wendy, for me, gold plated mpc does nothing but feel a lil softer on the lips and I don't have to keep my chops as moist. Gold on a mpc is more of a feel thing in my opinion.... now gold vs silver horns, there's a huge difference there.
