Cannonball Trumpets<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

I have been playing a Cannonball trumpet for around five years. Cannonball trumpets feature a semi-precious stone built into the body, and also have a larger than average Bell. These beautiful stones give the instrument a striking look, and are also patented for the way they change the instrument\u2019s resonance. The semi-precious stones are mined around the world, including in Utah, before being hand cut and polished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Morrison Mouthpiece<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

I use the superb Schagerl Apredato James Morrison Signature Mouthpiece. This makes for a fuller, darker sound and a deep, resonant quality without drastically changing the usual rim and cup shape. Most heavy mouthpieces can be difficult to play, having more resistance than normal. At first glance, the Schagerl Apredato mouthpieces appear to be like most heavy mouthpieces, but Schagerl took a different approach with the Apredato. The mass of the Apredato is reduced to a minimum, then an attachment is fitted and filled with water. The attachment is coated in waterproof materials to prevent corrosion and sealed with rubber to prevent leaks. Compared to normal mouthpieces the Apredato produces a darker, richer tone with higher volumes. Big Band trumpet players like me love the “fat” sound. Replacing the water can be done by hand and should be changed at regular intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
