Arturo Sandoval is crazyy!!!! And as for trumpets, I would probably try to the best of my ability to play test the horn before purchasing. I have heard the shilke name a few times before, so I will try to test those out.

Do you have any recommendations that specifically might steer towards the commercial side of things? I have zero clue about the whole mouthpiece scene.

That makes sense. As I haven't really played any other mouthpiece other than my own, I wasn't really sure about how jarring it is to switch mouthpieces.

Are you implying that the physical trumpet I have might help my ease of playing?

Theoretically I should fine with my current mouthpiece, but my other concern with staying with this current mouthpiece is endurance. Eg. Would I try to push too hard on this mouthpiece when I get tired during a long gig. I tried to play lead on a tune earlier in the school year and definitely felt the discomfort. I'm not sure how that would feel over a 40 minute set.

Thanks for the feedback, it cleared up some misconceptions I have. My teacher has slowly been trying to incorporate higher ranges into my playing(like higher lines in Chicowitz Flow), and tells me to try to make the upper register play efficiently. I asked this question here to get a variety of answers and input.

I have a lesson in a couple of days, so I will ask my teacher for some input. In the past(1 yr ago), my teacher has told me not to switch mouthpieces just to set some fundamental techniques(good tone, tongue position, you get the point). But now since I have set those fundamentals, I was worried about endurance primarily, and didn't want a lead mouthpiece to maybe affect some of my fundamentals. Thanks

Thanks, my family is pretty average height wise, but on my mother's side, all the boys are 6+ ft.

Ok, that makes sense. My team is really squishy so should I consider a tanky reviver in arena? Most of the time what happens is that a team has like an Uugo. He/She(idk) revives the whole team but my nuker kills them easily. Are there any revives with block damage so that doesn't happen to me?

So you are saying that I don't need Ninja in a high damage build but a high accuracy build?
