Trumpet Mouthpiece Backbore: Commercial Series

Pickett Brass Commercial Series Trumpet Backbores

Built for players who need fast response, precise articulation, and an efficient feel in demanding lead and commercial settings. The Commercial Series offers three distinct approaches to resistance and tonal focus, including options well suited to jazz, amplified ensembles, and piccolo trumpet.

Choose your backbore design, throat size, and available finish to tailor your modular Pickett Brass trumpet mouthpiece to your playing needs. The backbore works together with the cup and throat to influence response, airflow, resistance, and tonal character.

Available Backbores:

• R – Commercial Open: A more open feel than the V or C4, maintaining responsive articulation while providing less resistance when pushing into the extreme upper register.
• V: A highly responsive design with added resistance for efficient airflow and clean articulation throughout the instrument's range.
• C4: A focused, assertive backbore with a brighter edge and quick articulation, designed to help a lead trumpet sound project alongside amplified instruments.

Whether you favor the more open R or the compact focus of the V and C4, select the backbore, throat, and finish that match your approach to lead, commercial, solo, or piccolo trumpet playing.
