Yamaha Band Bobby Shew Trumpet Mouthpiece - Lead

In order to get exactly the kind of tone colors he wants, Bobby uses two different trumpet mouthpieces. The 'Jazz' model is his usual, all-around choice. It has a fairly deep, roomy cup for a warm, big sound and a throat and backbore designed to give enough "jump and snap" for maneuvering through quick jazz passages with a rich, full sound.

The 'Lead' model, on the other hand, gives that extra sizzle and high note clarity for playing lead parts. It features enough air compression for high range playing but still allows a big, open sound.

Rim inner diameter: 16.54mm
