Yamaha Signature Series Trumpet Mouthpiece - Bobby Shew Jazz

Trumpet mouthpiece designed for great playability and sound. In order to get exactly the kind of tone colors he wants, Bobby uses two different trumpet mouthpieces. The 'Jazz' model is his usual all-around choice. It has a fairly deep roomy cup for a warm, big sound, and a throat and backbore designed to give enough "jump and snap" for maneuvering through quick jazz passages with a rich full sound. The 'Lead' model, on the other hand, gives that extra sizzle and high note clarity for playing lead parts. It features enough air compression for high range playing, but still allows a big open sound. Bobby's flugelhorn mouthpiece was designed at the same time we produced the YFH-6310Z flugel, and perfectly complements the instrument. The rim is the same as that of the Lead mouthpiece but with a deep cup and a specially designed backbore for a smooth dark sound and great playability.
