Detail 01
Mega Tone heavy blank
Extra outer mass. Damps mouthpiece vibration, which thickens the tone core and adds projection at the cost of flexibility.

BachMega Tone Trumpet Mouthpiece 5C
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bach Mega Tone 5C trumpet mouthpiece — a heavy-blank version of the standard 5C, aimed at players who want more core and projection without changing cup size.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who already know the 5C and want a darker, heavier sound
- Big band and section work needing a solid tonal center
- Cutting through a loud stage without pushing harder
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting the light, flexible response of a standard blank
- Lead players chasing sizzle and easy high-register brightness
- Beginners — the added mass makes the horn feel less forgiving
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
5 rim size
Medium-large cup diameter. More lip area than a 7C — fuller low end, slightly more work up high.
Detail 03
C cup depth
Bach's medium standard depth. Balanced brightness — the reference point most players compare other cups against.
Detail 04
Standard trumpet shank
Fits Bb, C, and most trumpets with a standard receiver. Not a cornet shank.
Detail 05
Same cup as the regular 5C
Rim and cup geometry match the standard 5C, so switching does not change your embouchure placement.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Heavier than a standard mouthpiece — noticeable in the horn's balance
- 02No case or pouch included
- 03Response feels slower at first; give it a couple of weeks
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does Mega Tone actually change?
The outer mass, not the cup. More metal around the same cup damps vibration, producing a darker, more centered sound with more projection and slightly slower response.
02Is the Mega Tone 5C the same size as a regular 5C?
Yes. The rim diameter and cup depth match the standard 5C. Only the outer blank is heavier.
03Will this make high notes easier?
No. Range comes from the cup, and the cup is unchanged. The heavy blank affects tone and projection, not upper-register ease.
04Should I switch from a 7C to this?
It is a bigger jump than it looks — larger cup diameter plus a heavy blank. Try a standard 5C first to isolate the size change.
