My grandson loves it. This was a great purchase at this price point. He can handle both Jazz and Classical and as a 10th grader he’s playing as a college musicianThe mouthpiece goes great with the retired Philadelphia orchestra instrument we purchased a few years ago

This is a great mouthpiece for a beginner

Seems to get stuck easier than the old mouthpiece. But sounds fantastic.

Initially, I had believed the megatone mouthpieces were good, but now worth it. After all, eighty plus dollars for a mouthpiece seems quite excessive. HOWEVER, when I began to play my trumpet with my newly shipped Bach megatone 3c mouthpiece, my views quickly changed. I don't know where to start. I'll start with tone. The tone of Bach megatone mouthpieces, I feel are much more "round"; the sound fills up the room. Maybe I'm over exaggerating slightly, but the sound the trumpet makes with a Bach megatone mouthpiece rather than a mass produced mouthpiece is noticeable. Overall, the tone is more full, and darker additionally.Second, I felt it was SO easy to play when I was using the Bach megatone mouthpiece. I was overblowing; it was that easy. In other words, the player should have more control when using this mouthpiece. Because of this, playing vibrato also came easier. I definitely felt that playing vibrato on the mouthpiece came easily, whereas I had to try very hard to play vibrato on my old Vincent Bach mouthpiece.Additionally, I think the mouthpiece looks cool, which may have aided me in making the decision to buying the mouthpiece.The only people I would not recommend this mouthpiece to are beginners. This mouthpiece is definitely good for people who are dedicated to playing the trumpet nevertheless.

My son was trying out for Regional and All State band. He absolutely loves it!

All trumpet players really need a mouthpiece fitted to them. Well this one just so happens to fit me perfectly. I had owned another Megatone 3C, but the finish came off (my fault). So I got a new one. The heavy weight aspect really helps with tone. And the larger throat really helps to keep the mouthpiece more free blowing than others. It shipped as expected and came packaged well. This mouthpiece helped me with the following:1) Range- Switching from a 7C to this improved my range actually by about 2 half steps. not much. but it helps2) Tone- The cut vibrations with the weight really allows for the tone to be much darker and more pure.3) Intonation- Not much effort is needed to play a note with this mouthpiece, so the tuning of the notes can be better concentrated on.4) Endurance- Since the mouthpiece requires little effort to make a sound on, one can last for a good amount of time. Especially with a good warm up.Overall, this is a great mouthpiece, and I would definitely invest on one again. You definitely get more out of it than you pay for!
