MarcinkiewiczSignature Series Trumpet Mouthpiece E12.2 - Mike Vax #1
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Signature trumpet mouthpiece from Marcinkiewicz's Mike Vax line. For players who already know they want a Vax-profile cup rather than a stock piece.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Trumpeters replacing a factory mouthpiece with a known signature profile
- Players committed to one cup and rim across gigs
- Lead and section work where a consistent setup matters
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners still finding a comfortable rim size
- Players who need a cornet or flugelhorn shank
- Anyone shopping on price alone at this tier

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my trumpet?
It uses a standard trumpet shank, so it fits standard trumpet receivers. It will not fit cornet or flugelhorn without the correct shank.
02Is this good for a beginner?
Not really. It is a specific signature profile. Beginners are better served finding a comfortable rim size first, then moving to a piece like this.
03Does the finish affect the sound?
No. Mike Vax #1 is the model marking. Cup, rim and throat determine how it plays.
04Does it come with a case?
No. This is the mouthpiece by itself. Budget separately for a pouch or case if you want one.
