Mouthpiece Breakups: A Journey through my Past Trumpet Mouthpiece Relationships

In this week's video, I reflect on my past mouthpiece relationships - what attracted me to each one, what the relationships were like, what the red flags were, and a quick postmortem about what caused each breakup. I really do think that our relationships with mouthpieces in many ways are just like our human relationships, and unfortunately the habit of many trumpet players is to either resist "settling down" even with mouthpieces that are being good to us for the the thrill of something new, or to stay with mouthpieces that are making our lives more difficult than they have to be. --- Links to learn more about some of these mouthpieces: https://www.monette.net/mouthpieces https://www.gwmouthpieces.com/ https://www.wedgemouthpiece.com/ https://www.bachbrass.com/instruments... https://osmun.com/bach-trumpet-mouthp... https://usa.yamaha.com/products/music...   / parkemouthpiececenter   --- My featured mouthpiece "exes" - Monette B4S/C4S Giddings David Hickman "Big Boy" ACB/Wedge 1 (Like a 1C 24/24 with a Wedge Rim) Bach 1-1/4C 24/24B (alterations by Charlie Butler) Yamaha and Parke John Hagstrom Bach 1-1/2C 25/Stock (alterations by Osmun) Bach 1-1/2C 25/24 (alterations by Osmun) Parke 640-280-24 Orchestral --- LIKE and SUBSCRIBE for more nerdy trumpet content!!! --- FB: ​  / jontalkstrumpet   Insta: ​  / jontalkstrumpet   --- 0:00 Introduction 0:16 Relationship Disclaimer 0:31 1.
