| I think its coming from directors and trumpet instructors.
It seems a very common belief in the director/instructor community
is that bigger is better. Why? Who knows? One guess would be that
instructors steer the students towards an orchestral pursuit where bigger mouthpieces, 3C, 2C, 1C, etc. are common.
I disagree with the idea that bigger is better for tone and smaller is better for range. For beginners yes, but not for mature players. I think each person has a unqiue embouchure/wind column and therefore what matches it best is unique to each player and not to a specific style.
