EastRock 3C Trumpet Mouthpiece Silver Plated Bb Trompeta Mouthpiece Trumpet Instrument Accessories Vacuum Packed

My Bach 1 1/2 C mouthpiece was stolen. I’ve been playing on a Yamaha 11c and I know I could get a deeper richer sound with my Bach, I just didn’t want to pay $80 for a new one. I took a chance and bought this and am super grateful I did! It’s a great mouthpiece. I would have never known it wasn’t a Back. Try it, it’s definitely worth it!!!

What can I say- it's a trumpet mouth piece, it does the job, and this was the most affordable and quickest way to replace my daughter's since she managed to lose hers over the summer. Quick shipping +

My kid is in the high school marching band, so they give him the silver marching band trumpet (fancy). He also has the leased trumpet that he has been playing for 3 years. I wanted him to have a mouth piece to keep in the case with the leased trumpet, so he doesn't get to a marching band gig with the fancy trumpet only to find that his 3C is in the other case - which is in the band room at the school because he forgot to bring it home on Friday. (do we all have the same kid?? )Comparing the EastRock to a Bach 3CHis report as the musician: It fits the trumpet, feels, and plays no differently than the Bach 3C.My report as the listener: There is a very slight difference in timbre and tone, but it sounds perfectly fine. It is pleasing to listen to, just ever-so-slightly different. Recording 2 tracks with just changing the mouthpieces would sound like 2 trumpet players playing on 2 different instruments, with neither one sounding any better than the other.- I can't speak to its longevity, but it's hard to go wrong for like $12.- If you're looking to have a backup mouthpiece and don't want to spend Bach $$, this will get the job done.- If Bach $$ makes a big dent in the family budget, this one is more than a suitable alternative.

For beginners and for the price, the Eastrock 1-1/4C and 1-1/2C are a decent place to start for comparing these two “classic” mouthpieces, which are inspired by the traditional Bach mouthpieces of the same name. If you’re on a dreaded mouthpiece safari just know that the 1-1/4C and 1-1/2C will differ in that a 1-1/4C will have a slightly narrower rim and deeper cup versus a 1-1/2C (note that neither have as much cup volume as a “beginner” 7C and that it’s the contour of the 7C rim that some find uncomfortable... interesting, yet little known fact!). Anyway, If you want to know what a 1-1/4C and 1-1/2C feels like pressed to the lips, this Eastrock will deliver because the rim and diameter are very close to the Bachs. Where I struggled with both Eastrock mouthpieces was that there was more resistance and a difference in tone. The sound and feel was “stuffier” than with my Vincent Bach 1-1/4C (my Vincent Bach 1-1/4C is not a Vincent Bach ‘Corp.’ for those of you who know your Bach mouthpiece history and are aware of the inconsistencies in Bach’s manufacturing). I wanted to attribute the stufiness to overblowing, but that’s not it. I was determined to figure out why the Eastrocks felt and sounded different, so I put a caliper on them (for you measurement junkies):EASTROCK 1-1/2CRim diameter 1.062”(26.97mm)Rim width .216”(5.49mm)Inner diameter rim to rim .662” (16.83mm)Backbore .327” (8.31mm)EASTROCK 1.25CRim diameter 1.065”(27.07mm)Rim width .197”(5.01mm) - slightly smaller than Bach, but just as comfortable for meInner diameter rim to rim .658” (16.7m) - same as BachBackbore .327” (8.31mm) - same as BachFor Comparison (The measurements of my Vincent Bach 1-1/4C)Outer rim diameter: 1.080”(27.42mm)Inner diameter rim to rim .658” (16.7m)Rim width .213” (5.43mm)Backbore .327” (8.31mm)Overall height/length of all the mouthpieces is the same at ~3.5”.So what accounts for the stuffiness? Could be a number of things for which I don’t have the delicate instruments to measure; for example, cup depth, cup volume, throat diameter, etc. Either way, something is slightly different from the Bach. Overall, the Eastrock is a good mouthpiece for those on a budget and it makes a decent backup in a pinch… just not for a pro in my opinion. I played for 30+ years, then took a 15 year hiatus, and have just started the journey again by dusting off the ol' Bach model 43. If there's one thing I learned over the years, it's that a different mouthpiece can add color/timbre, but there is no substitute for a well developed embouchure and proper technique. Also keep in mind that what works for me may not work for you because we all have different anatomy (lips, teeth size and alignment, tongues, oral cavities)… Being a musician is a journey and you’ll need to discover what is most comfortable for you. Still, be sure to stick with a new mouthpiece for a few weeks to properly assess it!

This is our first purchase of a mouth piece, but this seems to be of very good quality and it arrived very quickly.

We have a really old hand-me-down trumpet and my high school student needed a new mouthpiece. This did the trick exactly.

After playing a 7C for years this was a very easy transition for me.

Good for the price.
