Yamaha Mouthpiece Trumpet 17D4

As a trombone player who's recently taken up the trumpet, I found a real lack of information on which mouthpiece to use. I opted for this Yamaha model as I wanted a large sized mouthpiece with a deep cup.

After switching to the 17D4 from a standard 7C sized mouthpiece I am now able to play the lower register (G-G) with excellent clarity. I have found that my upper register has remained largely unchanged and can reach a top E for now. I'm using the mouthpiece with a Yamaha YTR-4335G and I'm able to produce a full tone that projects well.

My personal experience of this mouthpiece has been very positive. It has made the transition to trumpet a lot easier and I'm still using it one year on from purchase.
