Choosing Your Leadpipe (Mouthpipe)
The venturi (construction) and rate of taper in the leadpipe affect the trumpets characteristic sound. Like the bell, leadpipes with fast tapers result in warm tones, while slow tapers produce bright sounds.
Bach offers several leadpipe options. Musicians desiring a more open, less resistant instrument should consider the reversed construction. By eliminating a step where the pipe connects to the main tuning slide, the air moves more freely. Reversed construction results in a longer pipe maintaining constant taper for improved intonation.
Optional Leadpipe Installation
Need your new leadpipe installed? Youre in luck! We do installation right here in our shop. For only $129.00 you can have your new leadpipe installed on your horn by one of our skilled repair technicians and shipped back to you.
The installation price includes the difference in shipping within the contiguous United States and insurance for your trumpet. This price does not include any lacquer for your new bell. Installing a new bell may leave minor cosmetic blemishes and/or solder spots that lacquer usually hides. Contact us if youd like to have lacquer added to trumpet after installation and for shipping prices outside of the United States.
