Edge diameter:
The rim diameter indicates the upper width of the mouthpiece in diameter, from the right to the left side. The inner edge diameter is one of the determining factors for the vibrating part of the lips. As unusual as it sounds, the diameter depends on the frequency range to be played. In return, this means that the diameter of the instruments that cover roughly the same tone range is also roughly the same. To clarify: the tone ranges of the trumpet and tuba only intersect minimally and the inner rim diameter of their mouthpieces of around 16 mm compared to 31 mm speak for themselves.
Edge width:
This value describes the width of the upper edge of the mouthpiece. With regard to the border width, there are player preferences from narrow to wide. In connection with the edge width, the edge contour also plays an important role. Some mouthpieces have a rounded edge, some a very flat one. Depending on the shape of the lips, you have to try several variants at the beginning of your mouthpiece search before you can make a statement about the edge contour that still applies after hours of intensive training.
And what is the inner edge good for?
A sharp inner edge allows for clean, clear inserts, but softer bonds are made difficult. With the rounded edges it is exactly the opposite. But of course, edge shape is not always edge shape, and the difference between round and sharp edges is not everything.
There is:
O flat edges with little broken edges
O curved edges with rounded edges
O round edges with rounded edges.
Edges and margins seem to be related. The rounder the edge, the rounder the edge. The question of the right edge for the individual player must also be answered by him alone.
While all of these points are important, when purchasing a mouthpiece, the focus is on the bowl / funnel.
The width, depth and contour are striking here.
Backbore:
As if that wasn't already confusing enough, after this insight on the graphic we move further into the depths of a mouthpiece, into the blind hole, also known as the soul. The transition from the boiler to the back bore is referred to as the soul. The interplay of soul and backbore is crucial for intonation. The terms narrow, medium, wide, medium narrow refer to the back bore. A standard mouthpiece for the beginner usually has a half-tight bore. But here, too, no ideal values ​​can be specified. Trying it out is the be-all and end-all. The back bore, which can also be seen as the beginning of the conical tube of the instrument, merges into the shaft.
I hope I was able to help you with my thoughts as well as exercises, tips and tricks on this important trumpet topic / video. To a good togetherness and always remember: Stay tuned is the motto!
See you soon and Ciao !!! Your Nico 🎺
