This post is a thank you to Mark Curry for making great mouthpieces. I play a 1.25 BC Chicago cut for sleeves and it has really changed my playing. I have been playing it for over a year on my Wild Thing and it truly is "the" piece for me. I play all kinds of gigs and this piece can do it all. I have been down the piece trail and played almost everything under the sun. I have had the mouthpiece drawer and I sold them all. I just received another Curry piece that just blows me away. It is a gold plated Curry 60TF and with my WT trumpet, I can really make my trumpet sound halfway between a trumpet and a flugel. I mean, my tone is warm and dark and the intonation is bang on. Even though this piece has a flugel like cup and a short shank, I find that there is no extra effort involved. I had a rehearsal with my jazz quintet and the I received many compliments on my tone with the TF piece. The guys asked me if I was playing the same horn!! I switched between my Curry 1.25 and the TF for different tunes and the TF really takes the edge off. So, a huge thank you to Mark Curry who is obviously a trumpet player who makes pieces for other trumpet players!! If you have not played them, you really owe it to yourself to try them.......Thanks Mark!! 8)
