My Boyfriend wants a trumpet mouthpiece that he can adjust the cup size ... I looked on buddy rogers site ... but i can't find it. Does anyone know what this is called, where I might find one, and/or how much it may be? Also ... can anyone recomend a good brand? I play tuba ... so i have no idea
What is this Trumpet mouthpiece called?
Bob Reeves makes mouthpieces with screw rims that allow you to use different rims, cups, and even shanks. Stomvi has a set, also. I think marcinkiewicz also has screw rims.

Reply:I do not really recommend any "adjustable mouthpiece". Since the bore and throat remains the same, changing the cup from its intended size will give worse tone. However, the more recognized mouthpieces are either Jerwyn or Endsley Mouthpieces. I know that the Jerwyn moutpiece has been discontinued. The moutpieces on ebay sell for like 80 bucks. But I wouldnt shell out more than 30 for any mouthpiece. 80 dollars for a mouthpiece that wont sound as good as 30 dollar moutpiece sounds like a rip off to me.
Reply:i use a bach and its called a mouthpiece
Reply:its called a mouthpiece. a bach one is good its what i use
Reply:Giardinelli has a removable rim, you just have to buy the rest of the mouthpieces to make the change. This is the most common way to change cups without feeling like you've changed mouthpieces.
Reply:The Jerwyn 5 now appears to be out of production (but you can still pick them up on Ebay - one went recently for $79.)
Endsley Brass do adjustable mouthpieces, and will even customise your own.
The ITG have a full page of suppliers, and other sources for mouthpieces
Reply:I think you are referring to a COMPONENT mouthpiece. Endsley makes a few of them.
