LEGENDS MF FBL TXS Bb Trumpet Mouthpiece .613 Inspired by rare historic piece

Description

This auction is for a
Legends Brass MF FBL TXS
trumpet mouthpiece.
Description
This model was inspired by a mouthpiece played by the legendary Maynard Ferguson. In the late 1960's, when Maynard was living in England, he worked with a mouthpiece craftsman named Jack Bell. Together they created the FBL (Ferguson-Bell Limited) series of mouthpieces. Three depths were originally created, the TS (shallow), TM (medium) and TD (deep). Legend has it that Maynard was using this series of mouthpieces when he recorded the original "MacArthur Park". He is said to have played all three depths, possibly interchanging them to compensate for swelling of his chops. A deeper cup played with swollen chops would sound and feel like a more shallow cup with fresh chops.
Legends Brass has taken the original concept of this mouthpiece design a step further by making the cup extra shallow. The rim (identical in all Legends MF FBL models) is very round and extremely comfortable, to support those extended upper-register riffs. The depth of the TXS
cup is very hard to quantify, but the closest comparison would be a Bach F. The shape of the cup is a V from rim to throat. To make this mouthpiece more accommodating to a wide range of players, it has a #27 throat and the Legends S backbore.

The Vintage blank is inspired by classic Jet-Tone mouthpieces played by famous trumpet players of a bygone era. It has a beautiful art deco look. There isn't a lot of excess mass with this blank, which makes it versatile enough for general playing but with plenty of zing for those solo and lead parts!
