The Illusive Mouth Piece Taylor Trumpets

[MrIplaythetrumpet]

Why would animals be harmed in this film???

[citywidelawns]

Jeez....can't they just get a robot or machine to make the mouthpiece?

[SRV1]

@citywidelawns Thats what Obuma would say!  lol

[38b]

Man, where was my tapered reamer when I needed it. I had to shape my own tapered drill, but it worked tho.

[moszna20]

What type of brass and what size blank did you use??? I'm trying to make a solid state mouthpiece extension and I think this may work only I need the right type and side rod or hex bar.

[thodacam]

I'm buzzing into a mouthpiece as I'm watching this

[cheese27happy]

lol mouthpiece porn hahaha 

[DancingSpiderman]

NOW I know why I see so many machinists without thumbs...

Don't do "thumbs up" close to fast rotating machinery...

[1000caras]

wow, wow, wow!!! lol

[edcontact]

Very nice. A lot of work goes into those!

[PINCHUNO]

"insert to Chuck"...poor Chuck!!!

[shaamjuice]

what a wast, I'm no engineer but is it really necessary?

[vicskyline9]

these things cost hundreds of dollars, it is very necessary.

[MusicalMuppet]

not nessercary?!!? of course it is. else us trumpetiers could'nt play!!

[shaamjuice]

hehe, I was talking about the wast of metal to build these things, not the mouth peace itself!

[MusicalMuppet]

haha

[gessed]

@gessed :.Such a tasteful,melodic solo.Loved it.Surely someone should know who played the first solo.Thanks

[TheBig5Brass]

@gessed

The guy playing the first solo is Davie Howes.

[scbari05]

now i know why they are so exspensive. I can tell you, you can make this mouthpiece ten times faster, i can tell you because i am an CNC turner.. you only have to invest in a better machine and tools.. and the quality will be the same or even better

[DrSousaphill]

Then why isn't your company making them then?

[MusicalMuppet]

@ scbari05 itsbecause its handmade that makes it special. its not about making them faster. the machines always make the same thing over and over again. and most of the time its cheap crap. this also takes skill whitch the machine worker like you dosent always need

[Crabclaws]

haha 9:20 is like gods mouthpiece!

[bouncingFUF]

that really is amazing. i really wanna make my own :(

[bouncingFUF]

i really want to make my own trumpet now. how amazong would tha tbe!

[mtbevins]

Fun to watch. Thanks for putting it up. Allot more work then most people would think.

[ElijahMuggy]

that music was amazing it was so smooth and soothing

I've always wondered how mouthpieces were made as well great vid

[IncazzatoBianco]

Better than a porno movie!

[elgurudelascachas]

specially from 6:12

[silver760]

That tailstock needs adjusting or replacing watch it jump around when he centre drills/drills,its either not locked down or its sloppy.

[pow3rtr1p]

With the smooth jazz in the background, watching the drill go into and out of the metal, it made me a bit uncomfortable. lol Very cool to see how this is done, though.

[elh666]

Exactly what I was thinking... xD

[JacobR343]

the first song...is that "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong?

[spacecadet1975]

Yes it is arrangement by Davey Howes also playing the flugel..

[JacobR343]

thats awesome....i need my band director to get our jazz band this arrangment!!

[andrecarioni]

amazing hand craft. amazing!

[SpeedOfDark186Kmps]

CNC is precise every single time, as long as the tool is sharp. The ideals of metal working still seems to be somewhat devided between the old tool and die, and the new CNC way of approaching metalworking. It's a shame. I got to see a cnc metal shop not long ago that was built by a master tool and die machinest. Let me tell you, the stuff that he produced was phenominal. Take a well trained tool and die craftsman and see what he does with CNC equipment.

[SpeedOfDark186Kmps]

I don't think that there is any advantage to making them by hand. I challenge anyone to PROOVE otherwise. Made on a CNC lathe, they would be made more quickly and consistently the same every time, as long as the tool is sharp. That being said, a CNC programmer and operator are still craftsmen but they are of a different breed. Don't get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for the tool and die guys but to say that a CNC product is substandard is absurd to me.

[SpeedOfDark186Kmps]

They should get a CNC lathe. It would be faster and more accurate.

[spacecadet1975]

hi there, i think yu are mising the point. yes cnc is quicker, possibly as long as it doesnt break down. But every turn of this mouth piece is perfected by human touch.... you cant bea that!!

[Theseventhknight]

@spacecadet1975 tighter tolerances, better accuracy, faster--I don't see an advantage on the human side. It's not like the human workers are creating unique individual pieces; they're making them to factory specification, which is something CNC machines excel at.

[elite266001]

it looks like a cornet mouthpiece

[elite266001]

lol looks a bit big for a trumpet mouthpiece

[jrkepler]

Wow, that's living history right there. Calipers, mechanical chucks, even real live human hands. Its good to know that the old crafts aren't totally gone from the world yet.

[torthetrumpeter]

does any one have this version of the song written out for trumpet?

[sandcrab132]

wow, a truly great machinist.

[Colomarc]

Wow what a wonderfull world played by a trumpet...who played it????very unique....

[spacecadet1975]

It was Davey Howes.. come have a look at my all my videos and you will see him on some more... He is amazing!

[phuntex]

Yeah! Who is playing!

[wyndyjan]

who is that playing - please excuse my ignorance - perhaps it says it somewhere and i cannot see it - what an interesting vid - i love it

jan

[gtromble]

Very good. I enjoyed watching it -- I can't imagine what the product would look like if I tried that!

[ValuePestInc]

that is a fantastic video...THanks Andy

[spacecadet1975]

Taylor trumpets says " Yes a large one, I dont have to mortgage my house to buy a CNC Machine" thankyou

[skutr11]

Well, besides saving Taylor some cash... Karl Hammond also manufacturers his mouthpieces by hand on a manual lathe. I'm just wondering if there's an advantage (to the end user) to have a master craftsman replicate mouthpieces versus a computer numerically controlled lathe. I like the approach Taylor uses and this video is facinating. Do you think there's consistency with mouthpieces made this way? Year to year?

[BlueStarsCorps]

Great video. Is there an advantage to hand making as opposed to CNC?
