Curry 1.5C Trumpet Mouthpiece - Gold Cup & Rim

This is a standard series Curry Precision 1.5C trumpet mouthpiece. It’s a standard symphonic size, ideal for most classical or orchestral playing. It’s well suited to the advanced player, and is helpful in facilitating a large, round sound. Many professional players prefer this size.

The mouthpiece is in fantastic condition, with only minor nicks and scratches, none of which affect playability. The shank is round. The cup and rim is 24k gold plated.

From Curry Precision: “Engineered like no other mouthpiece, the Curry Standard Line incorporates the same rim and bitepoint on the shallowest to the deepest cup within each diameter. This feature gives you the freedom to select the right cup for the job without having to get used to a different rim.

There is a gradual reduction of undercut, or initial slope into the main, or first cup, from the deeper B cup, to the shallow XS cup. This feature reduces the volume of the first cup. It also allows for more support in the upper register and a progressively brighter sound. The second cup is the convex portion of the cup that connects the first cup with the bore, or drill hole. Second cup dimensions are especially critical in determining resistance, definition of attacks, as well as the overall character and timbre of sound. Second cup dimensions in the Curry Standard Line are consistent throughout each diameter, so that a relatively shallow 3Z has many of the same sound characteristics as the deeper 3C or 3B cups.“
