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 and wanted to let you know how much I enjoy this mouthpiece.
For many years I played lead trumpet on a Schilke 6A4a. While that mouthpiece always worked well for me, I felt the sound was a bit thin. Which is a real problem when you’re sitting next to someone like Dave! Over the years, I’ve tried a lot of mouthpieces looking for something that played like the Schilke but with a fuller sound. Occasionally I’d find something close, but the bad always outweighed the good and I always went back the Schilke. The “Headliner” is the mouthpiece I was looking for. The sound is MUCH bigger but I don’t need to work harder to get that sound. Which is incredible!
The “Headliner” is really a great mouthpiece and I’m happy to recommend it to any lead player and especially to people who, like me, like the feel of a smaller mouthpiece but are looking for that bigger sound. Thanks for your great work!
