The Pickett 3C silver-plated trumpet mouthpiece pairs a .660" (16.76 mm) inner rim diameter with a traditional medium-depth C cup. Its bowl-shaped cup offers a balance of clarity and control, making it a useful starting point for players seeking Pickett's standard C-cup design.
The 3C is one of Pickett's most popular sizes, sitting near the middle of a rim-size range that runs from size 0 (17.40 mm) to size 10 (15.88 mm). Compared with the 3BC, it retains the same rim diameter while offering the standard medium cup rather than the deeper BC design.
Pickett rims offer a semi-flat, comfortable profile, coupled with a moderately sharp inner bite that facilitates very confident articulations.
These Pickett one-piece mouthpieces feature a #10-2 backbore, which offers that 'classic' backbore feel/blow that many have grown accustomed to. It creates a large sound without losing too much inefficient volume, with just the right amount of resistance for a bold beautiful tone.
Choose between two throat sizes to fine-tune the mouthpiece's resistance and feel. The #27 (.1440") is the standard-size option, generally offering more resistance for players who prefer something to blow against. The larger #24 (.1520") generally offers a more open, less resistant feel and is worth considering if your current setup feels restrictive. Larger isn't automatically better: the right choice balances a free response with enough resistance to feel comfortable and controlled. If you're unsure, start with the throat size you already enjoy, or contact us for help choosing a configuration.
