Trumpet Mouthpiece Backbore: Standard Series

Pickett Brass Standard Series Trumpet Backbores

Explore a versatile range of trumpet backbores designed for orchestral, chamber, solo, jazz, and piccolo trumpet performance. From broad, free-blowing symphonic designs to more compact, focused options, the Standard Series lets you refine the feel and response of your mouthpiece.

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:

• #0 – Symphonic Large: An exceptionally open orchestral backbore for players using substantial airflow while maintaining focus. Commonly paired with #24 or #25 throats.
• #1 – Symphonic: A free-blowing orchestral choice with less resistance than the #2.
• #2 – Symphonic Chamber: A classic balance of resistance, breadth, and warm tone for orchestral, chamber, and solo work.
• #3 – Chamber: Adds stability and resistance compared with the #2 while retaining a traditional tonal character. Suited to chamber ensembles, jazz combos, and solo playing.
• #4 – Solo Chamber: A compact, focused response without excessive resistance. A versatile choice for jazz sections, small ensembles, solo work, and piccolo trumpet.

Compare the designs to find the combination of openness, control, and tonal focus that suits your instrument and musical setting.
