The .640″ L-BL is pretty sweet. It has made playing the trumpet fun for me again. For the first time in my life, I’m able to slot high E-flat (above high C). And the piece has, somehow, added two half steps to my range. I was not expecting this.

I have bought 5 mouthpieces from you all and they are fantastic. I bought spares of the Chet Baker model as that is my daily player.
Thank you for your service support and such great mouthpieces.

Hi Leslie and Derek:
I love my custom-made flugelhorn mouthpiece which is similar to my Heim 2 trumpet mouthpiece. I believe it was Derek who suggested some slight modifications to make a flugelhorn mouthpiece modeled after the Heim 2.
Thank you so much.

Hi Leslie —
I’m loving my Showtime! I played a show last Sunday, a tribute to WWII big bands. I played the whole two-hour show in a 1:00 rehearsal, and then the actual show again at 4:00. No problem!

Mouthpieces came this morning. I used the trpt. mouthpiece on a gig this afternoon. It sounded great. I am very happy with it. I will try the cornet tomorrow. Thank you for getting it right.

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

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.

Chet Baker Piece! Now that is a Very Fun Piece to play! Mellower, yet with more endurance than other similar Bach, Schilke, Yamaha, Getzen pieces I have! 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 getting harsh as well…Yes!

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

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.

Hi Derek and Leslie,
I am so delighted with the CEBALLOS mpc and service! I just got it this morning in UK within 3 days of ordering that’s crazy! On first impressions it feels so comfortable and I feel at home. I can express myself fully so happy. The extreme register double high notes that I have never gotten as my top lip ends up shutting off past the G came out of nowhere without the bad habit of pushing the mpc into my lip. I can now systematically work on my technique to settle in that range. Also playing softly with different vibe I get what I wanted for my sound for jazz with the flexibility I wanted. I can’t thank you enough. Early days but this might be a game changer for me even better than my gr that I have used for 10+ years. Eventually I will send you some footage or audio if you wanted to use for promoting.
Thanks again and all the best

Great mouthpieces ! I’m a self confessed mouthpiece nerd. I have both your Harry James and Chet Baker mouthpieces and really love them. Thanks for such excellent craftsmanship and such a wonderful website. I will be ordering another this coming year

I’m a 60 year trumpet player and if I make it to age 62 will have been playing for 50 years. I have listened to many great trumpet player and will continue to. I’m a fan of the Big Band era a my main trumpet hero was Harry James. I also love Ziggy Elman, Johnny Best and all of that great era of music. I bought this Legends Brass Harry James model to have along with my Parduba HJ5. This new Legends Brass HJ model plays like a dream and like I took a Time Machine back to the early 1940’s. If you are a fan of that era as well look into any of the Legends Brass legendary trumpet mouthpieces you will not be disappointed by any of them. I bought the Dizzy Gillespie and Chet Baker models for friends.
If you have a trumpet player family or friend treat them to a new Legends Brass mouthpiece. I’m sure that you would be able to buy a gift certificate for them to choose their hero mouthpiece model.

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 range and easy blow with these, so I don’t think I would want to change the backbore or throat?
Thank you both so much!
Thanks for the kind words! Order a custom trumpet mouthpiece here.

Hello and thank you for the response.
You and Derek are delightful to work with and have a wonderful selection of mouthpieces.
The mouthpieces I tried were great but just very similar to my BL6 and Shoop2.
I have ordered from you in the past backbores and several tops and the quality is excellent.
Best wishes

Dear Leslie,
I received my customs mouthpiece in a very good order and I am enjoying playing on it very much! It was what I expected to combine the characteristics of the 3 mouthpieces into one! It is perfect!
August 6, 2024
First of all, thank you very much for your great customer service!
The mouthpiece has landed safely in Europe.
As an eternal Bach C7 player, I have a lot of fun with the Heim 2, especially in the higher registers.
Many thanks again and best regards

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 Regards,

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.”

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.

Blessings upon you & Derek & Legends Brass. Your customer service is superb. It almost feels like we’re friends 🙂 …

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 had quite a few issues with my embouchure over the past 5 years. My biggest difficulty has been with producing a steady tone; hence my interest in your Big Daddy blank.
True to your description of the piece, it does produce a good, steady tone with a stable core. It’s amazing that you were able to replicate the “Git ‘er Done” rim in the larger size with a Schilke 9C4 underpart. This is probably the most comfortable mouthpiece I’ve ever used. All I can say is thank you and congratulations on some really excellent work.

Thank you, Jim, for the kind words! – Derek
