| Working with Warburton Music Products, Bill has designed the
Warburton WCC (William C. Carmichael) signature mouthpiece. Among
professional players, Warburton Music Products is one of the most
respected names in the industry. What distinguish Warburton
mouthpieces apart from others are their precision machining and
their consistency. For the professional player, it's imperative that each
mouthpiece play and feel exactly the same.
As quoted from Bill in
the Warburton Signature Series Newsletter, "I
have always wanted a mouthpiece that could give me ease of
blow and the ability to get around the horn effortlessly.
This design is very unique. It is comfortable, and most of
all gives me the sound that I desire. The WCC top is designed for the lead trumpet player desiring a big
sound in the low register and a full-bodied sound in the upper
register that does not thin out. One of the main attributes of this
mouthpiece is the cushion rim. This rim is a little larger in width
making it easy on your chops. Even though the inner diameter is
rather small, the mouthpiece does not feel that way at all. The sound
in the low register is robust and big, and the uppers are easy
because the cup design permits me to take the tension out of my
chops. I use a fairly large back-bore with this top and because the
inner diameter size is .590". I can use a larger back-bore and still
get plenty of compression. It feels open in the low register and as
you ascend into the upper range it builds just the right amount of
compression making it easy to play all notes throughout your range. I have play-tested this mouthpiece in all kinds of musical
situations, and I have gotten great reviews about the sound I am
getting. To sum it up, it plays great and I would recommend it to
anyone who is looking for an edge in their sound." |
