Thanks Bruce,

I have a question for you, since you are a GR dealer.

One thing that I have a problem with is MOUTHPIECE!!!
This is the most confusion thing about trumpet playing.

I started with a Bach 7C, then a 5C.
My teacher made me try a few different ones including the CKB 1 1/2C which I'm using right now.
I find this mouthpiece comfortable, but I have no endurance. My teacher is telling me to have patience, endurance come with time.

Now, is my teacher right? Should I try a 'smaller' mouthpiece?
Not sure where to start

Marc
Your teacher is far more likely to know what's good for you than anyone on an internet forum who hasn't seen or heard you play.
