Bach Megatone Trumpet MOUTHPIECE
To create the Mega Tone, Selmer started with genuine Vincent
Bach mouthpiece designs, then more than doubled the outside mass. This darkens
the sound and allows you to play at higher dynamic levels without distorting.
Mega Tone slots extremely well so pitches center dependably. A slightly larger
throat affords less resistance and greater flexibility. The result is a warmer,
more powerful sound that's perfect in the concert hall, and adds a new dimension
to pop and jazz playing.
The shown below are the models that Bach considers to be
"stock." Other Bach trumpet models are available as Megatone
mouthpieces on special order. Please note that special order mouthpieces are
non-cancelable and non-returnable. To order special order mouthpieces, call us
toll-free at 877-672-3278 (540-989-8848). Allow at least 90 days for Bach
special order mouthpieces.
