Hey Sam, how are you? I purchased the Blessing 5B trumpet mouthpiece. I've been practicing with it for about a week or so. I'm happy with it, the transition from a 3C to the 5B went smoothly.
Hi David, glad it worked out well! Both great mouthpieces but different strokes for different folks. The 3C is almost a lead mouthpiece for me, as it is a little shallower and more V-shaped than Bach or Blessing’s other C cups. The 5B on the other hand is a wonderful all-arounder! Particularly for the artist who doesn’t live above the staff.
This is such a cool video! I have an old Bb/A J.W. York and Sons Trumpet that I assume is from 1920 that needs a lot of work to get back into a playing state. Thanks for the video!
