Thanks for watching, everyone! Trombonists: what’s your choice of mouthpiece for concert and symphonic playing? I’m still dialing in my setup and would love to hear what you use and why!
I use Denis Wick 6BL and Kelly 51D For Large Bore Trombone I use Wick 6BL for the Most of popular music playing because I have more higher register and about the same lower register than the Kelly 51D. Also is a bit Brighter Sound I use the 51D For Most of the Symphonic playing because this mouthpiece has a pretty dark sound. My Trombone Also is a darker sounding one because of the rose Brass bell (Almost Copper color) it has Both mouthpieces are pretty similar rim sizes (6½ ish) But the cup depth of the Wick is Like a 5GS Size The cup depth of the Kelly is between 5G and 4G
Great review! For marching band I play on a small bore baritone so I use a Yamaha 51D to try to compensate and it really does get that darker sound, as much as possible being a small shank
Hello samuel. Recently i saw an old film called dr terrors house of horrors. Well in the first part of it there was a jazz band but there was an instrument that i cant for the life of me identify. It looked like a french horn but was played like a trumpet. It was not a mellaphone or anything i can find. I then thought you were my only hope in finding out what it is
Any chance it could be either a Holton marching French horn or a Conn Mellophonium? Those would be my first two guesses as far as "looks like a French horn but is played like a trumpet."
hello. I recently bought a new tenorhorn, and it came with a V.F. Červený 6 1/2 al E mouthpiece. it is too big for me. i used to have a much smaller mouthpiece, and I could get up to the fourth octave. what mouthpiece should i get for high register and with a very round rim? (note: the tenorhorn's bore is 13.2 mm and the bell diameter is 240 mm)
It really depends on how drastic you want to go. If you want the smallest inner diameter you can find, you might try the Schilke 40B/42B or Bach 22D. If the inner diameter is not as much an issue but you need the tightest cup possible, then perhaps a Yamaha 48A or Bach 15E. It’s tough for me to say without knowing you and your playing personally.

@@Juan_Bone09 That’s a really good analysis of why you use the gear you do. Props to you.
Great video as always Samuel!🤗👍👍
Thanks Peter!
You're so welcome

Thanks Caleb! I definitely think the 51D helped the Yamaha YEP-321 get a darker sound, so I’ll bet it works well for your use too!
Nice Video!
Thanks!

@SamuelPlaysBrass for a reference, I play high songs as Eine gemse in den Bergen. I think the old mouthpiece I used has a cup diameter of 22.80 mm
@@SamuelPlaysBrass what do you think of schilke 43a? is it any good for high register playing?
@@thetenorhorn I’ve never tried one, but I can’t imagine it isn’t. Similarly narrow ID and very shallow cup.
@@SamuelPlaysBrass thank you for your tips! i will probably buy the 40B
Oooooooo do I spot an 80a Victor in the background???
I think it predates the 80A or Victor designators, as back in 1927 it was known as the “New Wonder,” but I’d say you’re technically correct!
