I'll add something - the depth of a morse (American) shank is 5/8 of an inch. For Ricco Kuhn's "dual bore receivers" the optimum depth is 19mm. Although Ricco says anything from 17-21mm is acceptable. Scott is a great guest, it would be cool to hear about his "fundamentals" warmup.

Yes on people that have mouthpieces that are willing to part with a few for a week or so for someone to try, pending your lack of trust issues or if you trust this person to take your mouthpiece(s). I’ve done that with my own students and it answers a lot of their own questions for themselves, w/o spending gobs of money on several mouthpieces, possibly coming empty out of the experience of trying mouthpieces empty handed. For example, I have a lot that’s easily accessible to purchase for the student - and if they have the means l, and or the time, offer something else that’s different… ie 2 piece mouthpieces, different material makes, etc. This video is very clarifying though, and I think more pros need to be out there promoting the proper equipment for the younger generations, as there is always a young one jumping into the horn world w/o a good mouthpiece, or a good idea of a decent starting setup.

How do I find what shank a mouthpiece is? it feels like no manufacturer actually lists what shank their mouthpieces are

Is raw brass still dangerous with a stainless rim?

Someone should make a glass mouthpiece

Ever use a Cerminaro mouthpiece? Wonder which horn it’s designed for, and if it gives a higher pitch. I actually know John and Charlotte Cerminaro, which is why I’m asking about that mouthpiece. I know the price is outrageous.

Scott, I must share with you, 😁😁😁Conn 2 from beginner day 1 through grade 12 worked flawlessly. (Even over bach 11 to conn 2). It is very important for public school horn players to stay on only one mouthpiece grades 6 thru 12 and sit while performing. Amen

I don't think that's true. I'm a public school horn/trumpet player and I've gone through 3 different mouthpieces on trumpet before landing on one I liked and I bought 3 horn mouthpieces that should be arriving soon to experiment on since the one came with the horn doesn't work for me. I'm also looking into a lead mouthpiece for trumpet. Students should absolutely experiment with mouthpieces to figure out what works for them and the sooner they do it and avoid building up bad habits on a mouthpiece that doesn't work for them the better. Also why should they sit while performing? You stand during solo ensembles and students should get used to playing both ways, especially if they plan on doing anything other than strict orchestral stuff.

You talked a lot about mouthpiece materials, but didn’t mention gold, or at least gold rims. I’ve had two teachers swear by gold rims because of their slipperiness, but no videos on KZread seem to mention them and it feels like most pros I see don’t use them. Curious to hear your thoughts.

Material definitley has an impact but I believe its far more on feel than sound - personally I like the slipperyness of titanium (h-kote) the best but its hard to come by. Currently I'm playing on gold after a brief stint on silver for the first time in a long time. I found the silver very sticky and the gold a lot closer to what I like about titanium! Contributing factors here are likely cost barrier (abot 2X as expensive) and the fact that many pros are playing highly individualized mouthpieces that likley aren't available in a variety of metals because they are not being mass produced.

Me, a trumpet player: Hmmm yes, such useful info...

The rim isn't dim. Don't make the bore boring

Wedge mouthpieces for people with braces? No....
