Trumpet Question.?

Hello, well I just got my Getzen 3001MV trumpet and i was wondering what is the best mouthpeice for this brand or trumpet? Right now I have a Bach 3c and it sounds fine but I was just wondering if there is a better mouthpiece to improve my sound. Thank you!





P.S. I am choosing a best answer =)

Trumpet Question.?
Trumpets do not necessarily have matching mouthpieces; players do. You need to find the mouthpiece that most suits you. The best thing to do is to find a private instructor, let him/her know your playing goals, and take suggestions from there.
Reply:You need a mouthpiece that is deep but also produces a high quality sound. I think a 3c is probably a good mouthpeice as long as you use a lot of support and air. If you think it is simply just too big try a 5c. Stay away from screamer mouthpieces, they only hurt the tone quality (they make it pinched.)
Reply:Try and go to a music store and asked that question or see if you can get in touch with Wynton Marsalis he is the musical director of the Lincoln Center Jazz Band in New york City, he could answer that question for you. He should have a e-mail address or if not him the Lincoln Center should.
Reply:Go to a music store and try other ones. I'm a trumpet player too, i started with a 7c and a couple of months ago I changed to a 3c and my tone changed alot.
