Blessing Trumpet Mouthpiece #3C

Great mouthpiece for a great price. I bought this to go with my Allora plastic trumpet. (I know, I know.) Believe it or not, the plastic trumpet sounds so much like the brass only the hardcore pro's would notice any major differences. However, the plastic mouthpiece that they provided was just not cutting it. It would provide a tone that was much to airy and with that mouthpiece you could definitely tell the trumpet was not metallic. Once I gave it a try with the blessing mouthpiece the tone improved and was more what I was familiar with back when I had my brass trumpet that I unfortunately lost. I was getting the airy tone mainly in the lower registers. This mouthpiece alleviated that problem and also helped my tone. I had played on 7c and 5c back in high school but after doing some research I decided to go with the 3c because I have larger lips...very large. Apparently, the lower the number the deeper the cup. Anyway, it's all personal preference. Find the size you like and buy the Blessing brand with confidence.

Very comfortable to play. Allows a big breath to go into upper register quite easily. I’ve always enjoyed this brand (Schilke) and won’t hesitate to purchase more from this seller!

Great! Ordered this for my son who just started beginning band. The band directors asked the students to get the Bach 3C, however I just couldn't justify spending that much money on something that he may not want to continue to pursue after the end of the year. Ordered this Blessings 3C which is modeled after the Bach and am very pleased! He's able to produce sound easily, and it was approved by the band director! Double Score! If you're looking to ease into the trumpet without coughing up the big bucks, this is a great value alternative to the Bach (half the price!!). Do yourself a favor and get this one for your student instead.

I liked the value. I used this mouthpiece for trumpet playing. This mouthpiece is a good upgrade for beginners and intermediate players. Good value.

I had a 7C mouthpiece before and was having a hard time playing the high notes easily. After switching to 3C, it became much more easy, especially in jazz band. But before you decide to make the switch, make sure that you're using enough air when trying for higher notes because that could just be the problem too. I was very satisfied with this mouthpiece, especially for the price.

As my son's trumpet playing ability has improved, he needed a more advanced mouthpiece. His band director recommend the Bach mouthpiece, but after reading reviews I got this for him instead. It was substantially cheaper than the Bach, but is very good. His range has improved greatly with it and both his band director and private trumpet teacher have given their stamp of approval.

Been playing trumpet all my life and decided to buy a new mouthpiece. I had no idea they were so expensive. The music store wanted $65 for a Bach, so I decided to try this Blessing mouthpiece, which was only $27. For the price, I thought it played pretty well. My Bach is still a better mouthpiece, but this one will do fine for a beginner or as an extra mouthpiece if needed.

I was considering buying a Bach trumpet mouthpiece, until I saw the price of Blessing's equivalent model. So, I ordered the Blessing at a substantial savings. I received it yesterday and am very satisfied with my purchase. The quality, feel and performance is the same as a Bach, in my opinion. Bach offers a greater selection of mouthpieces and options, but for a few standard sizes, Blessing is now my preferred choice.
