[TPIN] Trumpet, cornet mouthpiece equivalents

[David Arndt]

<<
Does anyone know of a chart providing measurements and/or equivalents
between trumpet and cornet mouthpiece dimensions (rim, depth, etc.)?

Mark,

There are a number of static pages on the net - just search "mouthpiece
comparison"

There is also a cool tool at - 

http://kanstul.net/mpcJN/Compare/CompareIE.HTM

This provides a visual side by side comparison of different mouthpiece sizes
and manufacturers.  You select a mouthpiece manufacturer and size on the
left, select another manufacturer, size on the right, and it draws an
outline cutaway view of each one superimposed so you can compare.  Does this
for both rims and cups.

The question is whether you "trust" the accuracy of the renderings - but
it's a Nifty idea, albeit a bit "geeky".   If you're family catches you
spending too much time with this, they'll think you've flipped.
