Up for auction is a gold plated B & S JH 5D trumpet mouthpiece. I am not sure what their 5D is technically equivalent to but it is bigger than a Bach 5. The diameter is deeper than a Bach D cup as well. To me the diameter is closer to a Mt. Vernon Bach 3C. This mouthpiece was not available to the public and came packaged with the prototype B & S JBX trumpets. This piece gives a nice rich sound that I used for symphonic playing as well as jazz combo settings. The body is very similar to the Monette LT blank but is still the standard length and doesn't have a huge throat. This is good news for you since this allows you to open it to where you want it.

The 10-degree bend was done to get the horn up out of the stand and project to the audience. Monette has been doing this a lot since Patrick Hession requested it. The bend promotes a better body position and takes pressure off of the top lip. This is a great quality mouthpiece. I have used this with my Calicchio with great success. I am moving to a new size so this one must go! I don't know what value to put on this mouthpiece since this mouthpiece is not available to purchase without the horn. The gold plating and bending were about $35 (done at Dillon Music). This is your chance to get a great deal on a fantastic mouthpiece!
