Talk:Mouthpiece (brass)

Hopefully soon they will become more popular, the major mouthpiece companies will become involved, and they will be available to the average player.

This doesn't seem very objective, or at least it doesn't seem to be in an encyclopedia style. Maybe something more like "They may eventually be available to the average player if..." or "Some hope that these will soon be available to the average player".

I guess a bunch of parts from this talk page or missing? Was there a merge at some point, or what? Well, regardless: The part about gold plated mouthpieces producing darker tone that says "Citation Needed" probably should be removed if somebody doesn't come up with a darn good citation - as far as I know, and in my experience, there is no effect on tone color in changing from a silver plated to a gold plated mouthpiece. Sounds like the kind of thing Schilke would've experimented with, so maybe somebody could find a citation indicating that there is no measurable difference from his works, but it's kind of inconsequential. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.61.64.113 (talk) 20:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to be a Coronet mouthpiece. Trumpet mouthpieces usually have a straight shaft. Coronet mouthpieces are tapered.

Oops, That would be Cornet
