Loud Mouthpieces

Victor Lopez · 10-24-2006, 12:18 AM

Has anyone tried the Loud Mouthipeces? Which one did you try and what is it like. Please include any background information to make it easier to distinguish what kind of people would like the same ones you did.

Joe Murphy is my band director. I happened to be the first trumpet player to play one. I use the LM-77 for concert band with my California Light. I use the LM-86 for marching and jazz on my Strad.

My background is a player who has NEVER been able to play a shallow, small mouthpiece. I had settled on the ZeuS Aegis piece as the all-around piece for me until I started on LOUD. Prior to that, I played Kanstul M-B9, Laskey 68MD, Bach 5B, Bach 5C.

The LM-86 is the most comfortable "small" piece I have ever played. not saying much, but at least I can PLAY the darned thing!

...If you have small lips, are used to small mouthpieces, and happen to be looking for a screamer piece, I would be interested in the "Maynard" model. a FUNNEL cup that started at the rim! Not yet offered officially, but I woudl definitely ask about it.

There are no loud mouthpieces... only loud players!

I don't know, but if anyone wants to buy me one to try out, I wouldn't be opposed. I play a Bach 3C so whatever the comparable size to that..

Just kidding, (not really). I have never tried one though I have had the pleasure of seing one demostrated. It seemed to be "more centered, projected," etc... but it could have been the placebo effect also.

Rule: The loudness of a mouthpiece is directly proportionate to the height from which it is dropped.

LOUDs really do improve the sound. Sound just goes straight to the bell.

Dont knock em till you try em.

Just started playing the LM 85 today. The cup has a dip, Laskey-like. Not like the other lead pieces.
