The Pickett 3BC silver-plated trumpet mouthpiece combines a .660" (16.76 mm) inner rim diameter with Pickett's medium-deep BC cup. Described by Pickett as a dropped-down C bowl, the BC offers a slightly darker sound profile than the standard C cup.
The 3BC shares its rim diameter with the popular 3C, pairing that familiar size with a deeper cup. It is worth comparing with the 3C if you like the Pickett 3 rim size but want to explore a different cup depth without changing rim diameter.
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.
