Hello Manny

Any suggestions for a C trumpet mouthpiece?
I rarely play C trumpet but I had the chance to get a good Bach one very cheaply so I took the chance on it and its playing well.
The only issue is mouthpieces.

I use a B1-5M Prana for Bb trumpet.
I use a E-2 Prana for Eb trumpet.

I have tried both in the C trumpet to get a feel for what might work with it.
They both felt too deep and the sound was not bright enough.
Do you think a C1-5 standard rather than Prana might be the way to go?
I can get them on trial from Tom without any problems but as sending them back is expensive i would rather narrow the choice down and i thought you might know other people who are playing B1-5M and know what they are using on C trumpet!
