The NEW Standard Series Austin Custom Brass Trumpet Mouthpieces (new for 2024)

Welcome to the NEW STANDARD!

"Making custom mouthpieces is one of the main reasons I opened up my shop. I wanted to make a mouthpiece that felt comfortable, had a rich sound full of overtones, and didn't zap my endurance! After a lot of time on the lathe, I'm proud to say I've developed a comprehensive offering of mouthpieces sizes for any gig! We have the absolute best tolerances in the industry!" -Trent Austin

 

Why a new standard line?   It's a simplified version of our previous standard line mouthpieces with a bunch of improvements over the past decade plus.  Lots of companies update their products annually and we feel like it’s time we finally updated our line with all of the amazing improvements we have been implementing over these 12+ years.   We've simplified the line a great deal and eliminated a lot of frankly confusing options (although anything can still be custom ordered in our legacy listing).  The introduction of our Custom Reserve  line showed us many things in terms of ease of stock and having products almost always available for you.This makes it easier for us to always have pieces in stock and also far easier for our dealers too!

 

The best part there's not going to be an increase in price for the customer. It seems like everything else is increasing in price, the ACB New Standard series will be still available at the same price as our current standard line.  This has taken us close to a year to work on and we are so excited to show you the fruits of our labor!

Most of our ACB mouthpieces are in stock in our selected preferred  blank.  This has been chosen by testing a great deal of options and we honestly feel these are the best blanks for the new line.  Of course  other ACB blanks are custom made to order and may not be in stock. Please note that almost every manufacturer measures in a slightly different place, so the comparison information sheet is for broad comparisons only.

 

Please note there are no returns on custom orders; gold plating is considered a custom order. 

1 Series mouthpieces : 

• 1B: Similar to the Papa this mouthpiece has a medium large b-shaped bowl, and slightly smaller backbore.

• 1C: This is my take on an older Bach 1C but with an improved throat and backbore combo. It feels significantly more efficient and sounds more energized while maintaining a rich core throughout all registers. This mouthpiece has our standard 24 throat and 10/24 combo backbore.

• 1CS:  A new product for this line this piece is smilar to the 1C  except it's slightly smaller and has a much more efficient entrance into the throat. It helps the articulation and adds a lively "zip" to the sound. This mouthpiece is especially good on vintage trumpets or overly dark horns to make them "speak".  I particularly like the fact I can get plenty of assistance on this piece and still a very large, orchestral sound. 

•  1 Studio:   This is another new option in the line and is super popular as a crossover mouthpiece.  Tons of  "zip" and front to the attack.   A special all-new  cup,  throat, and  backbore produces one of the most efficient commercial pieces I have played without it backing up on you!I designed this mouthpiece to feel more forgiving (especially in this blank) and gained more core in the overall sound shape. This mouthpiece is a weapon for the commercial trumpet player!  This piece is so great for the orchestral player looking for a Pops-style mouthpiece or  someone who loves larger diameter pieces! 

 

1 ¼ series:

• 1 ¼  BC: This has a classic Bach Mt. Vernon 1-1/4C mouthpiece rim that's blended in the CAD  program with a great old Bach 5B cup. The result is an incredibly rich sounding mouthpiece without losing efficiency or having the turbulent points caused by a traditional "screw-rim"  setup.  This comes standard in our Traditional blank.  Completely re-designed for this line in 2023 the results are amazing!  

•  1 ¼ C: This is  a take on a great 1 1/4C mouthpiece with some refinements in bore, backbore, and throat. To me it feels more like a 1.5C due to the great efficiency. 

• 1 ¼  CS: Similar to the 1.25C  except it's slightly smaller and has a much more efficient entrance into the throat. It helps the articulation and adds a lively "zip" to the sound. This mouthpiece is especially good on vintage trumpets or overly dark horns to make them "speak".

• 1 ¼  Studio:  This is another new option in the line and is super popular as a crossover mouthpiece.  Tons of  "zip" and front to the attack.   A special all-new  cup,  throat, and  backbore produces one of the most efficient commercial pieces I have played without it backing up on you!I designed this mouthpiece to feel more forgiving (especially in this blank) and gained more core in the overall sound shape. This piece is so great for the orchestral player looking for a Pops-style mouthpiece or  someone who loves larger diameter pieces. 

1 ½ Series: 

• 1 ½  BC:  This has a classic Bach Mt. Vernon 1-½ C mouthpiece rim that's blended in the CAD  program with a great old Bach 5B cup. The result is an incredibly rich sounding mouthpiece without losing efficiency or having the turbulent points caused by a traditional "screw-rim"  setup.  This comes standard in our Traditional blank.  We have re-engineered this mouthpiece in 2023 and it’s amazing! 

• 1 ½  C: This is one of my best-selling mouthpieces and extremely comfortable compared to other manufacturers' "cookie cutter" rim contoured 1 1/2's.

• 1 ½ CS:  Similar to the 1 1/2C   except it's slightly smaller and has a much more efficient entrance into the throat. It helps the articulation and adds a lively "zip" to the sound. This mouthpiece is especially good on vintage trumpets or overly dark horns to make them "speak".

• 1 ½ Studio:  This is another new option in the line and is super popular as a crossover mouthpiece.  Tons of  "zip" and front to the attack.   A special all-new  cup,  throat, and  backbore produces one of the most efficient commercial pieces I have played without it backing up on you!I designed this mouthpiece to feel more forgiving (especially in this blank) and gained more core in the overall sound shape. This mouthpiece is a weapon for the commercial trumpet player! 

"Trent makes some ridiculously good mouthpieces. He's either a genius or completely lottery lucky on mouthpiece designs. His 1.25Orch  (now our 1 1/4 BC)model is to die for. Try it for yourself" -a satisfied customer

 

2 Series rim (based on our ACB MV3C rim)

• 2BC:  A new product in this new line  the concept is similar in to other BC  cups in our line.  This 2 (old MV3C)   mouthpiece rim that's blended in the CAD  program with a great old Bach 5B cup. The result is an incredibly rich sounding mouthpiece without losing efficiency or having the turbulent points caused by a traditional "screw-rim"  setup.  This comes standard in our Traditional blank.   Again this is an all-new mouthpiece in 2023 and it’s amazing!  

• 2C:  This is our most popular mouthpiece in the line,  the MV3C,  re-named for this new line (and we are adding pieces around this supremely popular setup).   Another special mouthpiece, please check out this link for more info (we will remove this link in a few months once customers get used to the new system: https://www.austincustombrass.biz/austin-custom-brass-mv-3c-special-mouthpieces/

• 2CS: MV3C rim with my CS cup -- it's slightly smaller and also has a much more efficient entrance into the throat. This helps the articulation and adds a lively "zip" to the sound. This mouthpiece is especially good on vintage trumpets or overly dark horns to make them "speak." 

• 2 Studio: This is another new option in the line and is super popular as a crossover mouthpiece.  Tons of  "zip" and front to the attack.   A special all-new  cup,  throat, and  backbore produces one of the most efficient commercial pieces I have played without it backing up on you!I designed this mouthpiece to feel more forgiving (especially in this blank) and gained more core in the overall sound shape. This mouthpiece is a weapon for the commercial trumpet player!

 

"I have the MV3C and the MV3L. Both have a great sound and are really easy to play." -Mario

 

3 Series mouthpieces: 

• 3B: Same rim as on my 3C but with a medium deep B-shaped bowl. It's one of my most popular mouthpieces and has an incredibly warm tone! Ideal piece for someone trying to "tame" an overly bright setup or sound concept. Also great for the jazz soloist looking for added thickness in their sound without losing a ton of efficiency.

• 3C: My take on a fantastic Bach 3C mouthpiece from the late 60's; I have never played a 3C like it. I think the added mass and proper matching backbore make this a formidable all-around mouthpiece! This piece is one of our best selling pieces. 

• 3CS: Similar to the 3C except it's slightly smaller and has a much more efficient entrance into the throat. It helps the articulation and adds a lively "zip" to the sound. This mouthpiece is especially good on vintage trumpets or overly dark horns to make them "speak".

• 3 Studio:   This piece actually was one of the inspirations for the new line.  This piece is now super popular as a crossover mouthpiece.  Tons of  "zip" and front to the attack.   A special all-new  cup,  throat, and  backbore produces one of the most efficient commercial pieces I have played without it backing up on you!I designed this mouthpiece to feel more forgiving (especially in this blank) and gained more core in the overall sound shape. This mouthpiece is a weapon for the commercial trumpet player!  The 3 (or sometimes labeled as 3C studio) is one of the best selling mouthpieces here at ACB. 

 

4 Series rim (based on our ACB 3CS rim)

• 4BC:  A new product in this new line  the concept is similar in to other BC  cups in our line.  This 4 (old ACB 3CS)   mouthpiece rim that's blended in the CAD  program with a great old Bach 5B cup. The result is an incredibly rich sounding mouthpiece without losing efficiency or having the turbulent points caused by a traditional "screw-rim"  setup.  This comes standard in our Traditional blank.   Again this is an all-new mouthpiece in 2023 and it’s amazing!  

• 4C:  This is our most popular mouthpiece in the line,  the 3CS,  re-named for this new line (and we are adding pieces around this supremely popular setup.   Another special mouthpiece, please check out this link for more info (we will remove this link in a few months once customers get used to the new system: https://www.austincustombrass.biz/austin-custom-brass-mv-3c-special-mouthpieces/

• 4CS:  all new for 2023  this is the 3CS rim with my CS cup (newly designed for 2023!) -- it's slightly smaller and also has a much more efficient entrance into the throat. This helps the articulation and adds a lively "zip" to the sound. This mouthpiece is especially good on vintage trumpets or overly dark horns to make them "speak." 

• 4 Studio: This is another new option in the line and is super popular as a crossover mouthpiece.  Tons of  "zip" and front to the attack.   A special all-new  cup,  throat, and  backbore produces one of the most efficient commercial pieces I have played without it backing up on you!I designed this mouthpiece to feel more forgiving (especially in this blank) and gained more core in the overall sound shape. This mouthpiece is a weapon for the commercial trumpet player!

 

5 Series mouthpieces: 

 

• 5B: My modernized take on one of the finest mouthpieces ever made, the Bach New York 5B. I've made the ACB 5B mouthpiece much more efficient than the vintage counterpart while maintaining the great sound shape and spread. It's one of my most popular sizes.

• 5C: Long considered a transitional mouthpiece for the student, I've spent a bunch on time on this piece as most of my earlier prototypes didn't make the cut. This mouthpiece has an incredibly rich tone with fantastic articulations and ease in all registers. It's a great, comfortable mouthpiece!

• 5CS:  all new for 2023  this is the 5 rim with my CS cup (newly designed for 2023!) -- it's slightly smaller and also has a much more efficient entrance into the throat. This helps the articulation and adds a lively "zip" to the sound. This mouthpiece is especially good on vintage trumpets or overly dark horns to make them "speak." 

• 5Studio: This is another new option in the line and is super popular as a crossover mouthpiece.  Tons of  "zip" and front to the attack.   A special all-new  cup,  throat, and  backbore produces one of the most efficient commercial pieces I have played without it backing up on you! I designed this mouthpiece to feel more forgiving and way more efficient than other options we have had in this rim diameter previously.  I recently used this mouthpiece playing assistant Principal with the St. Louis Symphony for all of their “lead trumpet” needs and it did not disappoint!

"I've given Trent's 3C mouthpiece a 5 star review in the past and thought I'd do the same for the 3CS (now the 4CS in our new standard line) that I'm currently playing... It's quite simply the most comfortable and most responsive 3C type mouthpiece I've ever played with a fat, warm core to the sound. It's just a super efficient design that sounds great, what else do you need in a mouthpiece! Thanks so much for all the great gear you've made available to the trumpet world, keep up the great work Trent!" -Ray

10 ½ series mouthpieces:

• 10 1/2C: While this is a fairly small diameter mouthpiece it produces a big tone, with a fine high register and resonating low register. I started with this piece thinking it would a good mouthpiece for students to start on, but I find it very good for all players, especially those with very thin lips and ones who want a bit more corner support.

• 10 ½ CS:  Another new piece in the line  this is similar to the 10 1/2C in cup volume  except it's bowl shaped  and has a much more efficient entrance into the throat. It helps the articulation and adds a lively "zip" to the sound. This mouthpiece is especially good on vintage trumpets or overly dark horns to make them "speak".  This is offered in the Standard blank. 

• 10 ½ DS:  Another new piece in the line  this is similar to the 10 1/2S in cup volume  except it's even more aggressive in terms of the cup volume,  throat blend,  backbore shape, and efficiency.  This is a fabulous lead and commercial piece. This is offered in the Standard blank

• 10 ½ Studio: This is another new option in the line and is super popular as a crossover mouthpiece.  Tons of  "zip" and front to the attack.   A special all-new  cup,  throat, and  backbore produces one of the most efficient commercial pieces I have played without it backing up on you!I designed this mouthpiece to feel more forgiving (especially in this blank) and gained more core in the overall sound shape. This mouthpiece is a weapon for the commercial trumpet player!

 

"About a year ago, I switched to the ACB Lead 1. I have virtually played every brand on the market over the past 20 years and nothing has helped secure my playing like the Lead 1. The sound, articulation and projection is second to none. Trent is not only a first class musician but also a first class gentleman and businessman. Kudos to making equipment that works with you to maximize the musician within!" -a satisfied customer

• TA1B: : Again new for 2024 this piece  has a cup design using our super popular B cup (based off a great playing NY Bach 5B  cup and then blended with my cad program to eliminate any turbulence this is a great piece for someone who wants a full, rich sound but not a large diameter.   This is a new offering in the line and comes in the Traditional blank. 

• TA1 CS: Similar to the TA1 in cup volume  except it's bowl shaped  and has a much more efficient entrance into the throat. It helps the articulation and adds a lively "zip" to the sound.

"I've given Trent's 3C mouthpiece a 5 star review in the past and thought I'd do the same for the 3CS (now the 4CS in our new standard line) that I'm currently playing... It's quite simply the most comfortable and most responsive 3C type mouthpiece I've ever played with a fat, warm core to the sound. It's just a super efficient design that sounds great, what else do you need in a mouthpiece! Thanks so much for all the great gear you've made available to the trumpet world, keep up the great work Trent!" -Ray

10 ½ series mouthpieces:

• 10 1/2C: While this is a fairly small diameter mouthpiece it produces a big tone, with a fine high register and resonating low register. I started with this piece thinking it would a good mouthpiece for students to start on, but I find it very good for all players, especially those with very thin lips and ones who want a bit more corner support.

• 10 ½ CS:  Another new piece in the line  this is similar to the 10 1/2C in cup volume  except it's bowl shaped  and has a much more efficient entrance into the throat. It helps the articulation and adds a lively "zip" to the sound. This mouthpiece is especially good on vintage trumpets or overly dark horns to make them "speak".  This is offered in the Standard blank. 

• 10 ½ DS:  Another new piece in the line  this is similar to the 10 1/2S in cup volume  except it's even more aggressive in terms of the cup volume,  throat blend,  backbore shape, and efficiency.  This is a fabulous lead and commercial piece. This is offered in the Standard blank

• 10 ½ Studio: This is another new option in the line and is super popular as a crossover mouthpiece.  Tons of  "zip" and front to the attack.   A special all-new  cup,  throat, and  backbore produces one of the most efficient commercial pieces I have played without it backing up on you!I designed this mouthpiece to feel more forgiving (especially in this blank) and gained more core in the overall sound shape. This mouthpiece is a weapon for the commercial trumpet player!

 

"About a year ago, I switched to the ACB Lead 1. I have virtually played every brand on the market over the past 20 years and nothing has helped secure my playing like the Lead 1. The sound, articulation and projection is second to none. Trent is not only a first class musician but also a first class gentleman and businessman. Kudos to making equipment that works with you to maximize the musician within!" -a satisfied customer

 

TA1 Series (designed for my own personal playing needs):

 

• TA1: Please see the link for more info: https://www.austincustombrass.biz/products/Austin-Custom-Brass--TA-1--Trent-Austin-Signature-mouthpiece.html  (Standard blank) 

• TA1B: : It has a cup design using our super popular B cup (based off a great playing NY Bach 5B  cup and then blended with my cad program to eliminate any turbulence this is a great piece for someone who wants a full, rich sound but not a large diameter.   This is a new offering in the line and comes in the Traditional blank. 

• TA1 CS: Similar to the TA1 in cup volume  except it's bowl shaped  and has a much more efficient entrance into the throat. It helps the articulation and adds a lively "zip" to the sound. This mouthpiece is especially good on vintage trumpets or overly dark horns to make them "speak".  This is offered in the Standard blank. 

• TA-Studio:  This is another new option in the line and is super popular as a crossover mouthpiece.  Tons of  "zip" and front to the attack.   A special all-new  cup,  throat, and  backbore produces one of the most efficient commercial pieces I have played without it backing up on you!
