Large mouthpiece for King 3B+ with F trigger
Posted: Wed Nov 04, 2020 2:25 pm
Hi everyone,
I'm new to trombone, playing on a King 3B+ with F trigger (I believe it's 0.525 bore?), and I'd like some advice on which mouthpieces to use with the horn. (I've played euphonium for many years)
Size 4 (DE 102) is the best rim for me.
For small punchy stuff I'm happy with a Bach 4C.
I also love the Bach 4, it's the sound I want for solos, but I don't know if it's the right sound in a group situation?
Would a small shank 4G work with the horn like mine or is it too big (i.e. diminishing returns)? I tried 5G and whilst the tone is less bright than the Bach 4, I can't get a big sound out of it.
I'm also reading conflicting information that a Schilke 51 rim can be considered similar to both 5G or 4G?
Cheers,
Ted
