Welcome to the newest SPB venture! I’m very thankful that GU’s Honors program allows its fourth-years to explore multi-disciplinary and public-facing projects as it turned out to be a great opportunity. Stay tuned & enjoy!! One correction: ignore the Schilke rim comment. A-D does not refer to rim contour. This is my mistake and oversight.

I wished I watched your vídeos 10 years ago. I learned it over the years, but your video condensate so much valuable information! Simply the best trumpet physics videos I have seen on YouTube.
-
wow, another great video Samuel. I took up trumpet in my late 40s during COVID. This is the best explanation of mouthpieces I've read or watched. Thank you!
-
This is the best beginner explanation I’ve ever seen - thank you. I just need to figure out what I need now! 😂
-
Thank you very much for the good explanations and the visual demo, it helped a lot to understand the difference between the various mouthpieces.

Schilke labeling system is as follows The first number 13 is the width of the rim. The higher the number the larger the rim inner diameter The first letter A is the cup depth A being shallow B semi shallow C standard D Deep The next 4 is the rim contour 4 being flat progressing to 1 being round The Last small letter is the backbore a is the tightest d is open, Please recheck your description of Schilke mouthpieces you can verify by going to the Schilke websight. Thank you for all of your insightful and enjoyable videos, please keep up the great work . I’m sure you knew this information but it just mislabeled
-
I love your videos, friend. Thank you so much for the detail!

I'm 64 and started playing the violin. There is nothing more exciting than learning a new instrument. The harder, the better. Nothing easy is worthwhile. I bought my first and only violin less than a month ago. But now, nothing personal, I'm considering buying amd learning to play trombo😊ne. A trombone is like a fretless instrument, or am i mistaken. I do like the flute more than any other breath weapon, i mean, instrument. I love saxophone but i have a bad back. Actually, trumpet is my least favorite breath instrument. But, i wish i could play all instruments, yes, even the trumpet or bagpipes. It just sucks because my health is failing me and im terrified that my time is coming to an end, so i try to play several hour a day and devide my time between keyboards, guitar, latin percussion, harmonica, penny whistle, and now violin. I haven't enjoyed learning music theory more than at this time in life. Who knows, maybe i will buy a breath instrument, and maybe a trumpet. Lets finish this series of videos and decide then.

great video! I'm going to have to watch it 3 or 4 or 17 more times for the info to sink in. Thank you for putting this together. 😀
