[TPIN] Big or Small???

[Glenn Bengry]

No matter how much I try to go smaller, I just can't play as well.  The bigger, the better for me.  I once played Bach's Magnificat on a disgustingly huge mouthpiece.  I have no idea how  I did it.  I just didn't know any better.
 
    A lot of guys that need a fairly big piece and play commercial stuff as well as legit stuff play on pieces like a Bach 3E.  Mike Barry plays one.  I think Mike Spengler plays one too.  Both are legit trained guys from the list who play a lot of commercial stuff.  Both outstanding trumpet players.
