| Re: What mouthpiece should I use? I am a beginning trumpet player too and the mouthpiece I am currently using is a 7C and it says "Olds" on it. It does not have the compact look of most mouthpieces I see but rather is a little elongated. My teacher says it's fine but I'm just wondering if I should be using a traditional shaped mouthpiece. Would it make a difference? I've been making good progress (for a sax player) but I feel like I'm hitting a plateau. It's probably just the one of the normal peaks and valleys you hit as you learn to play an instrument, but the mouthpiece shape has always concerned me. Do you think I should change? |
