Bach 349 Cornet 7EW

As all brass players know, the choice of a mouthpiece is highly personal and what works for one player is not always the best choice for another. Having recently purchased a Carol Brass Piccolo trumpet which came with two Carol Brass Mouthpieces, one for Trumpet and the other for Cornet shank, they just didn't feel right for me. So I turned to the well tried and tested Bach 7EW with cornet shank on the recommendation of a professional trumpet player friend. Not only is it a lot more comfortable to play with its slightly wider 6.20mm rim and shallow E cup, but the 117 backbore is ideally suited to bring out the best tonal colours of the Piccolo trumpet. I play my B flat, C and D/E flat trumpets on a Stomvi 0.7 Combi System mouthpiece but found the rim diameter too big for the Piccolo in order to be able to articulate with clarity. I have quickly adapted to the slightly smaller rim of the Bach which makes Piccolo playing so much easier and would therefore highly recommend the Bach 7 EW to anyone seeking an affordable, quality mouthpiece ideally suited to Piccolo Trumpet playing. Pop it into your horn and it immediately lights up !
