Marcinkiewicz 300 Series Trumpet Mouthpieces

As a woodwind player's embouchure becomes more developed, the necessary strength of the reed will change from weak to strong. If students use a reed that is too hard or too soft, they will have trouble playing certain notes. Woodwind players have always had a logical choice of reeds to help them make the proper choice for their playing needs. Now the same holds true for developing brass players, and their selection of appropriate mouthpiece. Like woodwind players, brass players' embouchures develop with experience and time. After discussing this problem with numerous educators, Marcinkiewicz developed its "300" Series not only for the student, but as a tool for the educator, to resolve real problems for growing students.

Developed specifically with the student in mind, (although many professionals use them as well), these mouthpieces offer the same rim (similar to a 3C*) on 15 different cup depths, graduated at .006 in. intervals, (the equivalent to the thickness of two human hairs.), from deepest (No.301) to shallowest (No.315), allowing the developing player to find optimal response from a mouthpiece with the same rim. For example, if a No. 307 is too deep and a No. 312 too shallow, the No.309 or No.310 may be the appropriate fit. (Please note: No. 300 has the same cup depth as the No. 301 with an expanded cup diameter.)

As players mature, their needs change. This series allows selection to the next logical cup depth, while maintaining the exact rim dimensions of the previous choice. The result is a mouthpiece that both feels good to the player and provides the desired sound instantly, without a frustrating transition.

The line also includes an "S" (symphonic) backbore. The benefit to the player is a richer, darker tone associated with concert bands and orchestras.
