Trumpet Cup Volume:

Cup Depths

The Van Cleave Studio cup depths cover a wide range of playing applications.

Our C (medium) cup is designed for lyrical or solo playing. Our C cup has the acoustic qualities of a traditional C cup with less resistance, more center of sound, and improved overall efficiency.

Our M (medium shallow) cup is designed for lead and commercial playing. BIG bright projecting lead sound with a quick response. The M cup will cut through a big band or any other loud group with ease.

Our S (shallow) cup is designed for extended upper register playing. VERY quick response with tremendous SIZZLE and PROJECTION!

Our A cup produces a big fat sound that is wonderful for filling up a room or trumpet section. The A cup has a quick response for a larger cup.

The Z cup is a deep cup that produces a warm round tone with some of the fluid qualities of a flugelhorn. Great for jazz soloing and other soft/warm solo situations.

5M2 - "It's a stunningly cool looking mpc ...and plays well. The sound is very very nice ...nice and fat, sizzle ....core... congrats on the design... "

3M2 - It's really quite a shame that these mouthpieces have less resistance, more core, and more sizzle. ;) I love it!!!

5C2 - "...been playing the 5C2 all week on the C trumpet for Into The Woods and I’m really loving it... The double Bb at the end of the last tune sounds great!"

3S2 - "I definitely think you hit on a nice balance of comfort and secure set for the chops with this rim. Good core for a shallow piece"

‎5M2 - "Liking it - took it out for a test drive yesterday - pretty dangerous piece!"

‎9S2 - "The sound of my trumpet with the 9S2 is a KILLER ONE. I am happy with the mouthpiece. It is an easy and big sound. For lead, this is the piece. Thanks again."
