Dear Jeroen Jongeling
Im not sure whether you want to deeper darker broader sound by mouthpiece or equipment change. But in either case your delema is much like mine was. I am a freelance street busker I wanted a horn in the $1500 range and naturally chose the Martin Committee because of its deep dark rich sound and it was the horn my idol Miles Davis played. To further the development of this sound I was displeased with the standard Holton mouthpiece that came with the Martin so I searched and switched to a Monette mouthpiece, and that gave me the edge I needed. The mpc I am using is the Monette Stc1-B4 which is the equivilent of a 1c. Also when I was auditioning the martin Committe I tried a horn that was had even a broader darker more focused sound with tons of projection. It Was a Courtois Evolution Trumpet. If I'd have had the extra money I would have bought this horn, but was about $1000 short. The Monette mouthpieces are a little expensive but they are worth the investment! As for your quest for the best horn if you can afford it, try a Monette Anja 2 Prana. I have not had the pleasure of trying one of these babies but if you want to hear one at its best glory listen to Wynton Marsalis CD standard time, that he cut with his dad on piano. Now theres a horn!!! A word of warning. Monetts are hand made and have a waiting list of one year, and this particular horn I recomended is about $9500 on a cheap day. Have a look at them at
