The great trumpeter and teacher Claude Gordon said that "many of the greatest players played on the mouthpiece that came with the horn". He was mainly referring to the great cornetists of the 19th and early 20th century, who really didn't have much options in terms of mpc's or gear. These players managed to develop powerful range and phenomenal technique without even worrying about the mouthpiece. Arturo Sandoval can effectively imitate many of the mentioned great jazz players (Dizzy, Armstrong, Clark Terry, Clifford Brown, Maynard) using his normal mouthpiece and horn.
