Bach Mega Tone Trumpet Mouthpiece, 3C (K3513C)

Initially, I had believed the megatone mouthpieces were good, but now worth it. After all, eighty plus dollars for a mouthpiece seems quite excessive. HOWEVER, when I began to play my trumpet with my newly shipped Bach megatone 3c mouthpiece, my views quickly changed. I don't know where to start. I'll start with tone. The tone of Bach megatone mouthpieces, I feel are much more "round"; the sound fills up the room. Maybe I'm over exaggerating slightly, but the sound the trumpet makes with a Bach megatone mouthpiece rather than a mass produced mouthpiece is noticeable. Overall, the tone is more full, and darker additionally.Second, I felt it was SO easy to play when I was using the Bach megatone mouthpiece. I was overblowing; it was that easy. In other words, the player should have more control when using this mouthpiece. Because of this, playing vibrato also came easier. I definitely felt that playing vibrato on the mouthpiece came easily, whereas I had to try very hard to play vibrato on my old Vincent Bach mouthpiece.Additionally, I think the mouthpiece looks cool, which may have aided me in making the decision to buying the mouthpiece.The only people I would not recommend this mouthpiece to are beginners. This mouthpiece is definitely good for people who are dedicated to playing the trumpet nevertheless.

I always wanted a Bach megatone and purchased this one for fun. I have several Bach and Warburton mouthpieces. This is a quality mouthpiece as you would except for a Bach - finish, weight, etc are all perfect. The megatone construction does give me a darker, fuller sound that I personally find very pleasing to the ear. I play for fun now. If you are looking to improve your tone and find a bigger, darker, more centered tone, then this may be a good mouthpiece for you. Make sure a 3c is the correct size for you. 3c is generally a pretty versatile piece, but some consider it a bit large, especially if upper register is where you are playing. I suspect other sizes in the megatone line provide a similar tonal experience.

Seems to get stuck easier than the old mouthpiece. But sounds fantastic.

My son was trying out for Regional and All State band. He absolutely loves it!

All trumpet players really need a mouthpiece fitted to them. Well this one just so happens to fit me perfectly. I had owned another Megatone 3C, but the finish came off (my fault). So I got a new one. The heavy weight aspect really helps with tone. And the larger throat really helps to keep the mouthpiece more free blowing than others. It shipped as expected and came packaged well. This mouthpiece helped me with the following:1) Range- Switching from a 7C to this improved my range actually by about 2 half steps. not much. but it helps2) Tone- The cut vibrations with the weight really allows for the tone to be much darker and more pure.3) Intonation- Not much effort is needed to play a note with this mouthpiece, so the tuning of the notes can be better concentrated on.4) Endurance- Since the mouthpiece requires little effort to make a sound on, one can last for a good amount of time. Especially with a good warm up.Overall, this is a great mouthpiece, and I would definitely invest on one again. You definitely get more out of it than you pay for!

I recently switched from a standard issue Bach 5C to this. It took some adjustment but I love the mellowness it adds!

I've been playing on Bach mouthpieces for years, I love them! The 3C Mega Tone definitely lives up to my expectations for a good mouthpiece. I immediately found my tone to gain a richness that allows me to easily fill a room with a deep sound without over-blowing or straining. Additionally, as someone with a naturally bright sound, I found that the mouthpiece darkened my timbre, giving me a much more orchestral sound. Contrary to what many people say, I did not find an increase in range when first picking up the Mega Tone. This is likely because I was migrating from a standard 3C and was accustom to the bore. Overall, I would recommend this mouthpiece to anyone looking to add a richness to their sound. This item was definitely worth the price!

This is a High-Quality Premium Trumpet mouthpiece. I would recommend this Bach Megatone 3c mouthpiece to anyone especially beginners. It may not be for budget prices, but its worth the try. I use this mega tone mouthpiece for my trumpet and mellophone. I love this thing. The tone sounds great and deep. I'm going to use it for marching season and jazz band in high school.
