5/13/25 Thanks, Leslie! I’ve played a lot of mouthpieces over the years. The Legends really are special. I don’t know how you’re different, but keep up the great work! BTW: Is the rim on the Showtime similar to what Warburton calls an “anchor grip” rim? It feels just fantastic. Thanks again,Bob Legends Showtime trumpet mouthpiece

4/22/25 I received the mouthpiece today and played on it in my Jazz band. Wow the ease of playing and sound is second to none. So glad I found your website. Thank you very much for these amazing mouthpieces.  I will let other players know about your website.  Regards  Barry Legends 10 1/2 CW

My Chet Baker Tribute Gigs will be much benefitted from this. Thank You! Next Gig at The Nash May 3rd. I can blow high notes without them…

4/11/25 Hi Leslie — Nailed it! The BC Master feels very similar to my Schilke, slightly smaller, which is what I wanted, very comfortable, and most importantly, much easier to blow. I practiced two hours today and still had a solid G above C at the end. Cheers, Bob BC Master

February 4, 2025 Thank you very much for the information friend. Of all the pages I’ve visited, this is the best in terms of trumpet mouthpiece measurements, models, and explanation. -Rodriguez

9/19/24 Fantastic Job on my custom mouthpiece!  Wow!  It is perfectly a level mellower than the CS 650. It still gives me about the same range as the shallower one also! Yes!  Great endurance too! Next, I will likely have you make one yet another level deeper/mellower. I am so pleased with the easy high…

August 13, 2024 Hello and thank you for the response. You and Derek are delightful to work with and have a wonderful selection of mouthpieces.

July 1, 2024 Thank you for the opportunity to try the Wise and Bandito trumpet top mouthpieces. I typically can determine if a mouthpiece is going to work or not for me and in this case both seem wonderful ! … I am impressed as always with the quality and selection of your mouthpieces. Best…

6/3/24 Legends Brass: “We received your order for the Legends Circus in big daddy blank. It’s on backorder, but it’s worth the wait.” Customer: “I know! I’ve been on a standard blank circus since 2012. It changed my playing life.” -Jeff W. Legends Circus

5/16/24 Three months ago I purchased a Heim 2 mouthpiece from you and it is the first mouthpiece that has ever transformed my playing. It has opened up my sound, improved my range a bit and made getting around the horn much easier. Lance Heim 2

3/26/24 Thank you very much again for all of your time with me. I don’t take it for granted. I am often reminded you can usually make more money, but you can never make more time. Blessings upon you & Derek & Legends Brass. Your customer service is superb. It almost feels like we’re friends…

June 2, 2023 Hi, Derek.  My custom mouthpiece arrived this afternoon and thanks so much for getting it to me way ahead of schedule.  This is a remarkable piece of equipment, and seems to be everything I hoped it would be.  I may not have mentioned it, but I am 78 years old and have…

3/13/23 Good morning, Derek.            I am excited, and eager, to receive the “Beast.”  I am indebted to you, and grateful for your outstanding customer service.             Appreciatively,                  Bill Legends Beast

January 29, 2023 I have to approach the RI mouthpiece quite differently than all my other pieces.  It’s a fun challenge to lay back and let the mouthpiece do the work!  Thanks for making these great designs available to all of us! Adam Legends RI

12/4/2022 Hello Derek and Leslie, I am overjoyed by the Legends Brass Jazz heavyweight gold rim and cup! It is a great fit for me. I was actually surprised when I opened the box. The whole time I was thinking it was going to be something else I had purchased.  I was prepared to wait…

September 29, 2022 Very happy with my WB-S piece and my LA backbore. This piece has a bit more crackle than my GR bergeron, more direct focus. I have tried many backbores and my favorite is Legends LA followed by Warburton NY. Thank you for your great work Joaquin WB-S LA Backbore

1/6/22 Hello, the Mariachi mouthpiece just arrived. It is great. I wanted something really bright for the big band I play in. Thank you so much.  Harry Legends .605″-.655″ Mariachi Trumpet Mouthpiece

12/21/21 I just had to message you about the “S” backbore. Firstly, where has this BB been all my life. I almost backed out of the purchase because I didn’t want to spend that much on a BB. I had been using a Patrick CL BB along with some Warburtons. Well, those are going on…

8/7/21 Dear legendsbrass, hello, just wanted to thank you for the quick response time, good customer service, quality product, would definately use your store again & recomend you to others, thx. *This comment was sent to our Ebay store: Saturday, August 07, 2021 at 11:35 AM

7/6/2021 Derek/Mrs. Saidak…I’ve been looking for a top for my Schilke cornets for over a year now. The “BB” top is EXACTLY what I’ve been searching for as I can’t play deeper pieces. It also works VERY well with ur “Manhattan” BB on my Schilke B7. It’s kind of like Xmas has come…lol! And of…

April 16, 2021 Hey Derek!I just got this BC Master piece in and WOWEE!!  This thing feels frickin’ great man!  To be honest, I expected to hate it cause of the #30 throat, but it sure doesn’t feel like a #30 throat.  The piece feels focused, supportive, and consistent all the way from low F#…

April 15, 2021 I’ve been using your BCJT version for over a year now and love it. I actually got to “buzz” on Chase’s JT when I visited his manager in Florence, Al back in 2003. Your version in the vintage blank comes the closest to it, it’s also brighter than the Schilke version. Keep up…

2/21/2021 By the way, I am LOVING the gold plated big daddy Chet Baker mouthpiece with my Kanstul model 1601.Simply the best marriage of a mouthpiece with a trumpet in my 50 years of playing jazz trumpet!Thanks!Dale Legends CB

2/22/2021 Hi Derek , I just want to thank and personally praise you for the amazing service right from the beginning of my journey with Legends, my mouthpiece arrived today only after I ordered it on Friday which I think is amazing, I only had time to play it for about 40 minutes but I…

1/17/21 I am loving the Chet Baker model Big Daddy gold mouthpiece with my Kanstul Model 1601! I have never owned a trumpet mouthpiece that gives me more confidence regarding note placement. I think about the note and the integration of the mouthpiece with my embouchure produces the sound… simply amazing! With that said, I…

7/15/20 Derek, I received the Legends Scodwell Flugel Mouthpiece today.  It is the perfect match for me and my Scodwell Flugelhorn.  Thanks for the fine advice on purchase of the heavy wt. model.  Thanks Again, Regards, Dave

April 4, 2020 Hi Derek. After warming up slowly on the Git R Dunn mouthpiece I pushed it a little. Played very clear “Fs”. All the mouthpieces I purchased from you are clearly in my view commercial hot rods. The Git r Dunn is no exception. Even though it is a .600 it doesn’t feel…

February 8, 2020 Derek,  I’m not one to beat around the Bush. A spade is a spade.I slowly warmed up for 10 minutes on long tones from C on the staff to low F#. Then I thought I would push it a little bit. I played the scale up to high D and stopped playing.…

December 31, 2019 Just wanted to drop you a line about the Legends BB you sent. It’s a fantastic piece. It feels great and slots really efficiently. I was surprised at how fast I was able to lock in with it. I feel like I sound better than ever! Look forward to doing business again.…

8/10/19 “Thanks for the insane lead piece! I’ve lost my range every summer with the beatings from day to day lead playing here, but with this piece, I’ve kept up all my range for the entire season! Thank you so much for the quality piece!” -Blue Devils lead trumpet 2019 Legends L-6A4L

7/19/19 Just wanted to say I’m playing a Legends JT RS .624 and it’s incredible. Switched over 6 months ago after playing Marcs for years and I’ve been floored at how good this piece feels and sounds from a customer in Salt Lake City, UT Legends JT RS .624

6/5/2019 You make amazing mouthpieces and I know it’ll be worth the wait. After my first show on the broadway lead, I came home and sold all of my mouthpieces and am building my legends collection. Thanks!!Paul Legends Broadway Lead

3/13/2019 You are one fine mouthpiece maker!  The MFIII works great, as apposed to the Monette copy I tried a while back. The way you adjust the blow makes such a huge difference!  Easy to play! -Adam C.

3/7/2019 Hello Tony and Derek,I received my Legends Scodwell Mello mouthpiece yesterday. From the first buzz I knew it would work better for me than the stock Conn mouthpiece, or the cornet mouthpieces I had been trying. At .64′ it feels identical to the .65″ GR mouthpieces i use on trumpet, cornet and flugel.With the…

2/25/19 Hey! I am a trumpet player in the Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps. One of the other leads brought an L-6A4L in the heavyweight blank to camp this past weekend and we immediately fell in love with it. It was able to blend very well with the section and soar over everyone in…

2/24/19 Just wanted you to know that I love this flugelhorn mouthpiece you sent me. It solved a lot of my issues switching from the supercat 1 to my flugelhorn. I gained an octave and it still has a sweet tone. Thanks so much. Dennis R.

2/16/19 Dear Derek,    i just had to send you a quick email to tell you that the RM 16S that I recently bought from you is the last mpc. I will need to buy.  Because of some unique circumstances, including some nerve damage on the left side of my face, I am relegated to…

11/18/18 Wow wow!!! You did something right with that 10.5 cw. Incredible piece. Love the tone from bottom end and up high. Thanks…if you ever have a used one for a good price, I want it as a backup. Happy Thanksgiving…blessings -Frank W. Legends 10 1/2 CW

11/18/18 Just wanted to give you a little feedback on the Outlaw piece. So tonight I played my first gig on it. I can’t believe the sound that came out of my horn this mpc has such a rich, fat and powerful sound and by far is better than anything I’ve ever played in my…

10/4/18 Hi Derek, I just wanted to say. I’ve got 2 of your mouthpieces. Broadway and Broadway Lead. Wow. Just wow. I played the lead mpc Saturday night on a gig, and it just screamed. Sunday morning, the broadway was perfect. I can’t tell you how much I love these mouthpieces. -Andy

8/24/18 Thanks for such a first class, seamless, and personal transaction! I have experienced none better! -Albert

8/10/18 I have ordered several mouthpieces from Derek and the team at legends brass. I think for the money you cannot beat their product and definitely their customer service. I have played Monette, curry, flip Oaks and the usual Bach pieces. These mouthpieces are some of the consistently best. I always have one in my case…

8/4/18 Just did show with the mf you recommended on the phone to me prior to me trying to custom remake with minor changes of my monette. Wow – your recommendation was awesome – love it so much. Ps- Thanks very much and God bless for being honest and guiding me to trying one of…

August 8, 2018 Wow I am amazed with the Super C mouthpiece I thought my bob reeves 42ES was badass. Not only is the Super C range broader brighter and higher. The tonality in the low and medium range is great!!! Got it in time for a Mariachi Gig last night and the projection with unparalleled…

4/21/18 Thanks for the great service.  Received order on Monday! Kevin

4/24/18 Derek, I received the mouthpieces and couldn’t be more pleased. They both complement my horns perfectly and work well together, switching from trumpet to flugelhorn. As much as I have liked the WB-S, the Outlaw out performs it in every category, plus I have the versatility of different backbores. One question that I have,…

4/24/18 Hey Derek, having a blast with the MF1. Can play a lot of different stuff on this piece – lead, jazz – very versatile and feels great! Thanks for another great piece! Best, Lex

4/25/18 Hi Derek, To let you know that I’ve played the mouthpiece yesterday. Great work, great quality ! Thanks Maxime (in Canada)

4/23/18 Got the mouthpieces today!  That was fast.  I told a few students I was ordering some mouthpieces and that they could try them before Nick takes one of them (and I keep the other)…. but they are all like vultures.  They can’t wait to try them.  They want to try NOW.  Not wait for…

4/28/18 Hi there. Just go my flugelhorn mouthpiece in the mail today. I tried it for a bit and man, huge noticeable difference in the sound straight out of the box. I have a gig later on tonight which I will put it to work. But I can already tell you that I LOVE the…

3/30/2018 My name is Kevin Tague and I’m a trumpet player in Las Vegas. A couple of months ago Dave Perrico handed me a Legends “Headliner” mouthpiece to try. A few days after that, I told him he can never have it back! I’ve been using it for all my lead trumpet work since then…
