This is a Vacchiano number 3 trumpet mouthpiece with standard bore, backbore, and cup.
It is the cup shape more than any other single aspect that represents the underlying concept embodying Mr. Vacchiano’s original vision for the design of his entire line of mouthpieces. The standard cup is what he referred to as a modified “V” shaped cup. This cup shape is in sharp contrast to the more popular “C” shaped cups that dominate most other mouthpiece lines including the ubiquitous Bach mouthpieces. Mr. Vacchiano felt that the modified “V” shape offered three major benefits: greater efficiency, a distinct “clarion” quality and improved pitch center.
The rim is on this model is rounded.
The standard back bore for this mouthpiece is taken from Vacchiano's own signature mouthpiece. The profile is slightly tighter behind the bore and flares just a bit more at the end of the shank than a standard Bach back bore.
This mouthpiece is similar to a Bach 3C but with the unique Vacchiano cup design.
