Been playing on a good Bach for about 4 years and I`m definitely ready for something better. When money is not issue, what do ya`ll recommend to buy?? I`d love to add some range but I don`t want to cheat, plus, I`ve got good tone and I don`t want to mess it up..

Thanks guys

Not trumpet, I`ve got a Challenger, a MOUTHPIECE. sorry

U can never go wrong with a strad/xeno and those are probably some of the most expensive....now if ur looking for some of the best made look for old strad mad in new york and...i forget the other place someone help me out

if you`ve got good tone don`t switch. maybe if you think it could be better you could try out a bigger mouthpiece. no mouthpiece wil give you more range. believe me i`ve tried. work will give you more range.

idk, i kinda like the crystal ones, i dont remember who makes em, i think they are pretty good, they are pretty rare thou, the are kinda common for clarienets

there is no such thing ad a range boosting mpc to boost your range it takes hard work you cant just go down to the music store and buy it

Like others have said, hitting high notes is not always a question of the mouthpiece. However, the Schilke 14A4a produces good results for those who are after it, and I recommend it.

Like I said, I`m not looking to "cheat" any high notes, if that`s even possible. But of course some mouthpieces allow for easier high notes than others. Keep them coming!

Like I said, Schilke 14A4a

It has a wide throat, and wider throats will produce higher notes easier.

Also, re: "cheating" on high notes: I think what they mean is pressing the instrument so hard against your lips with as much air as possible that you`re seriously strangling and suffocating yourself just to get a squeak out. (I did this when I first started playing - I enjoyed the fact that I could squeak out a double C in 7th grade by this method... though much later I learned how to avoid that.)
