Bach Trumpet

Bach - Wedge Trumpet Mouthpiece Comparisons

  • Bach mouthpieces are inconsistent between samples of the same size
  • Many players using large sizes (1-1.25 Bach rim) do very well downsizing to a Wedge 67 rim with no loss of sound or flexibility
  • Cup depths and rim sizes do not always follow a logical sequence (5C and 7C are deeper than a 3C)
  • Depth measured at .04 inches into the cup

 The 1.25C ID is between the 67 and 68 rim. Consider the 67MDV if you want better endurance and range. Many players do well on a slightly smaller Wedge.
