Have you been observing any significant trends when it comes to trumpet mouthpieces?

“Stepping away from COVID had brought lots of players to our store to ‘step-up’ in both their instruments and the accessories they use. Mouthpieces are a major part of that including custom pieces from both Pickett and Warburton. We insist that younger players try the mouthpieces before purchase and we carefully clean everything afterwards.”

Drew Parker

Separk Music

Lewisville, North Carolina

“The Hispanic players demand the double cup mouthpieces by Garibaldi and Parduba.”

Ed Intagliata

Cassell’s Music

San Fernando, California

“Custom fitted mouthpieces such as Warburton are trending a bit more these days. We are finding that more of our customers, locally and afar, are searching for that perfect size option.”

Andy Bailey

Giant Steps Music Corporation

Chattanooga, Tennessee

“Faxx and Bach mouthpieces have been consistently on backorder all year. It has been hard to keep the popular sizes in stock.”

Joni Dey

Herter Music Center

Bay City, Michigan

“With professional level players, the custom makers are taking over the market!”

Doug Barta

Music & Arts

Lone Tree, Colorado

“In our area, we’ve always had a pretty steady business for mouthpieces. Both students and teachers consistently experiment with new sizes and models to find that ‘perfect’ sound.”

David St. John

Music & Arts

Glendora, California

“Everyone wants the special mouthpiece with the ‘high notes’ in it!”

Adam Bestler

Bestler’s Pro Music

Long Lake, Minnesota

“Teachers are staying with traditional sizes: 7C, 5C, 3C.”

Rudolph Tichy

Twin Village Music

Lancaster, New York

“Less brass instruments are being sold.”
