Re: Mouthpiece help

Welcome Cotton
I have had a great deal of success recommending the Giardinelli 3S for comeback and adult beginners. It is a large diameter but shallow cup, is VERY EASY to play, and only costs $30-$40. My suggestion with returning to playing is to concentrate on playing old popular songs (tin pan alley/Broadway). You are not chasing the first chair of the X Philhrmonic, so play the enjoyable music and don't worry too much in the beginning about trumpet calisthenics.

Good Luck!
