The Pickett 1.5C silver-plated trumpet mouthpiece combines a .670" (17.02 mm) inner rim diameter with a traditional medium-depth C cup. The bowl-shaped cup offers a balance of clarity and control, with a rim diameter that falls between Pickett's 3 and 1.25 sizes.
Consider the 1.5C if you prefer more room than the Pickett 3C without moving to the larger 1.25 rim. For the same rim diameter with a deeper cup and a slightly darker sound profile, compare it with the 1.5BC.
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.
