Megatone mouthpieces offer a darker sound, especially well-liked by jazz and pop performers. This mouthpiece is available in sizes 1, 1B, 1C,3B, 3C, 5B and 5C.The history of Bach starts with mouthpieces. A century ago, trumpet player Vincent Bach began experimenting with designs and manufacturing processes to replace a broken mouthpiece. Soon after, Vincent Bach’s mouthpieces, and later his trumpets, set the standard for excellence. We continue that standard today through constant innovation and dedication to the craft. In the Bach workshop, crafting a mouthpiece begins with innovative, yet classic designs and is then carved by a computer-numeric-controlled machine that shapes and cuts solid brass bars. Each step is precise within one ten-thousandth of an inch. Because no two players have the same lip or tooth formation, what is perfect for one player may be entirely unsuitable for another. Bach produces thousands of different combinations of rims, cups and backbores so that each player can find the best mouthpiece for their individual embouchure. To create the Mega Tone, Bach started with genuine 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.
