VC Cups

This is a special mouthpiece designed specifically for use on the C trumpet.

The rim is a standard GR with the same alpha angle as the L cup.  The upper cup has a little larger radius as does the lower cup and a lower beta angle. This formula makes more of a V shaped cup but articulation and  brilliance are outstanding.  The VC Cup was designed to project in the orchestra.

The throat entrance is a new shape that is excellent on the C trumpet.  The sound is big and projects in a rich brilliant manner, furthermore, it is very easy to shade and color.  The upper register is efficient and strong while the lower is warm and rich.

The throat entrance, throat, bore, and backbore are a little more open than the standard MX, L, and LX.  This mouthpiece can be played on Bb with good results, although, requires a very strong player. 

Many players use the 66L or 67L on Bb trumpet and the 66VC or 67VC on C trumpet.  This is an excellent choice for symphonic applications and use in other large ensembles. 

 It offers the serious C trumpet player a huge symphonic sound that really projects.

The VC cups are available in the 66 and 67 Cup diameters as 66VC and 67VC.  The VC cup may be made in any other diameter as a special order.
