This week, we will talk about the Yamaha John Hagstrom Signature Series Trumpet Mouthpiece. Mr. Hagstrom is not only the 2nd Trumpet of the Chicago Symphony, but is also always working to create better and more efficient tools for trumpet players to use. This is a truly special mouthpiece featuring an unusually effective combination of specifications, resulting in a very balanced product! This is the first video in my new series, MOUTHPIECE FEATURES, where I go in-depth on just one mouthpiece and discuss its unique history, inspiration, and design.

If you're interested in getting this mouthpiece, you can find it online at many major online mouthpiece retailers for only $49.99 - a truly notable price for such a well thought out signature mouthpiece.

    Jon, I always enjoy your videos on trumpet physics! They are very informative and appreciated! 👍🎺

    Man so cool to have found a gear channel like this.

    Just ordered it. My first "symphonic" piece, as I mainly play jazz and lead.
  • @Davidkaisermusic
    These videos are great! Are you going to be doing any more like this? I'd love to see one on the Yamaha Eric Aubier Signature Series mouthpiece.
  • @MichaelBxl
    Do you think it plays better on a C trumpet than on a Bb ?

    I own this Yamaha model and the Jeff Parker version. And my perception is that the inside diameters are narrower than a typical 7C mouthpiece. In your video, you report that the mouthpiece measures .615 inches, which jibes with my perception: most mouthpiece charts list a 7C at .640 inches and a 10.5C at .620 inches. So this Yamaha inside diameter is approximately around a 10.C. I guess the 1B size/shaped cup with open throat and symphonic backbone give this mouthpiece the gorgeous orchestral sound.
