[2009-01-02 13:28:40]

Q: i just got a vintage blessing trumpet from my uncle (he played it in the 70s) and the mp is shot. i was thinking a yamaha of some sort.

A: The mouthpiece has to be a trumpet mouthpiece and that's it. The size depends on your skill level. A 7/5C for a beginner. 3C for Intermmediate and if you are an expert then you should know what mouthpiece to use on any trumpet :P Hope this helps!
