| Re: Why go below 3?
I think it's more a comfort thing thing than anything else. I know a lot of people that are always saying "if you don't play on a huge mouthpiece then you're not a real trumpet player" and I've learned to just ignore them. Granted, when I started playing at age 7 all I had was a 1 1/2C so that's what I used. From there I went to a 5C and now I play on around a 3 rim and I vary the depth for sound. I can still play on a 1 1/2 if I need to like that one time when my regular mpc got lost at NTC the morning of the competition....but that's a different story. I guess some people are just more comfortable on a bigger mpc. I personally am happy on a 3.
