VINCENT BACH CORP. 5C Megatone Trumpet Mouthpiece
This is a trumpet mouthpiece from VINCENT BACH, a standard manufacturer for trumpets. The size is 5C, and it's a Megatone model with the CORP. (old engraving), which is rarely seen.
It has been used very little and is in excellent condition with almost no scratches on the shank.
I've been collecting various mouthpieces, but I've settled on my preferred sizes, so I'm listing this one for someone else to use.
■Megatone...Developed in response to the needs of many trumpet players who desire a thick and powerful tone. By more than doubling the mass of the mouthpiece's exterior and slightly widening the throat, it achieves a deep tone that is less resistant and easier to control. It offers a wide dynamic range from pp to ff across all registers, producing a warm, powerful sound without distortion.
