Though the Bach lineup makes little sense, with differing rim contours and cup shapes throughout the different sizes, they are all intelligently designed - you just have to try them and see what works for you! The 1 1/2 C did not agree with me, as its rim did not match me and I didn't like how attacks sounded on it. However, the 1 1/4 C seems to be just the ticket! I get a much richer sound out of it, along with good projection and surprising comfort. As an added bonus, blending with those around me is now much easier, as they also play larger Bach mouthpieces.
I started out on a 7c as most trumpet players do. The 3c was the first different sized mouthpiece i purchased. I don't need to buy another one. It works great. It gives you wonderful tone as all Bach's do. And the range on it is wonderful. My sound is nice, round, and full. I love it!
Bach mouthpieces are always the best quality and fairly priced. I started out on a 7C, of course, and then my instructor recommended a 3C for a fuller sound. When I wanted a mouthpiece to more accommodate the higher register, my instructor insisted that a deeper, larger mouthpiece is better for higher notes, if you just "squeeze" them out quietly. Anything along the lines of a 3C mouthpiece is indeed one of the best all around mouthpieces for a richer, more full tone.
I love the Bach 3C Mouthpiece. It's a great upgrade from the beginner 7C, and can be played throughout your entire musical career. It takes a few days to get used to it, but trust me, it's definitely worth it! Also, take full advantage of the offer wwbw gives for the 3C mouthpiece if you are interested in one. Tthis outstanding, life-long mouthpiece!
I started on a 7C along with everyone else, then moved on to a 3C, which is deep and gives a full, rich sound, a great mouthpiece for all around use, except maybe playing lead trumpet, for the range is not so great unless the notes are "squeezed" out. I then moved to a 1-1/2C, the choice of many pros, and while it did give me a fuller sound, it didn't give me the sharpness that i had with my 3C, so now I still use my trusty 3C, and it still sounds great! A 3C is a great choice for anyone who wants a good tone and a rich sound.
