BachMega Tone Trumpet Mouthpiece 1-1/2C
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bach 1-1/2C trumpet mouthpiece in the heavier Mega Tone blank. For players who want more mass and a darker core than a standard Bach.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players on a standard Bach 1-1/2C wanting more weight and stability
- Big band and orchestral work where a fuller core helps
- Anyone with a medium-large embouchure comfortable on a wide rim
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead and high-register players — the wide cup works against endurance up top
- Beginners, who generally start on a narrower 7C or 5C
- Players wanting quick, bright response over sustain and core
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Mega Tone blank
Extra brass mass around the cup and shank. Slows the response slightly and adds a darker, more centered core.
Detail 03
C cup depth
Bach's medium cup. Neither the shallow lead cups nor the deep symphonic ones — the general-purpose middle.
Detail 04
Added mass
The heavier body damps the horn's vibration a little. Sound feels more stable to you but projects with less sizzle.
Detail 05
Bach standard shank
Fits standard-receiver Bb trumpets and cornets with an adapter. Not a large-shank flugel or trombone fitting.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Rim size changes take weeks to adapt to — do not judge it in one session
- 02A heavier mouthpiece can slightly flatten pitch centers; check tuning against your horn
- 03Silver plating wears on the rim over years; replating is a service cost later
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is Mega Tone different from a regular Bach 1-1/2C?
Same rim and cup dimensions, more brass in the body. You get a darker, more stable core and slightly slower response than the standard blank.
02Is 1-1/2C too big for me?
If you currently play a 3C or 5C, it is a real step up in rim diameter. Good for low and middle register, demanding above the staff.
03Will this fit my trumpet?
It is a standard small-shank trumpet mouthpiece and fits standard Bb trumpet receivers. Cornets need an adapter.
04Will it help my high notes?
No. Larger diameter and a medium cup favor fullness and low-register comfort. Lead players usually go shallower and narrower.
