Does anybody use Bach 1B trumpet mouthpiece

Bach 1 1/4C Man · 09-11-2005, 11:31 AM

I need to get a little darker tone and I play on a Bach 1-1/4C Megatone mouthpiece. It's not bad but it can get to be a little bright. I'm thinking about going to a 1B megatone since has a 24 backbore. I would like to know is the difference between the two that big also should I just get a 1-1/4C Megatone with a 24 backbore and 24 thorat are something like that.

I own one, but the 1 1/2 B suits me better. I went from a 1c-1.25c-1.5B and im loving the B cup...

the 1 may feel to big, it did for me... but the 1.5 feels great.

Yeah, there is someone that plays a 1B.. His name is Bud Herseth. LoL

Of course that was after his accident and prior to that he was playing on a 7C.. What a monster!

I play a Bach 1c and it gives me a beautiful dark centered tone that has almost flugel like qualities

Its beautiful for Wynton type ballad work.

I accidently found Kelly mouthpieces on the www and was skeptical at first on a Lexan mouthpiece. I have 14 years of playing experience and was literally knocked out when my girlfriend bought me one. The feel is something totally new and there is no more warming up the mouthpiece in cold gigs. The look on my red transparent piece is totally hot, and the feel & response while playing is excellent! I fully recomend this mouthpiece and so does the Canadian Brass. I have two words for you...BUY ONE! You will not be disapointed :) I am ordering and 1c from Kelly next

How about ditching the megatone (a cosmetic for your sound that deadens it), and try a stock 1 1/2C. It is deeper than the 1 1/4C.

But Bandman...

I do recomend Kelly Mouthpieces for outdoor work considering that they are made of Lexan, and are much more forgiving then brass on the chops in fridgid weather.

On regular gigs I use a Bach 1c for balads and a Heim #2 for high regester work. Different types of playing require different mouthpieces. You understand?

A different mouthpiece for different ocassions. You know, Like a Tux for a wedding or sweats to go jogging. You wouldnt wear a Tux to go jogging now would you Bandman?
