I am about to buy a soprano trombone and when I was looking through mouthpieces when I found the Wybrid mouthpiece. I am a trombone player mainly so I thought that this mouthpiece would be good for me. For anyone who knows, would this be a good mouthpiece?

There's only one way to find out if it would be good for you.

I've tried both this and the Jim Nova / Greg Black series soprano. The GB one is substantially better, imo. It gives a passable soprano sound, which is not something I was able to achieve on the Wycliffe model. FWIW, the best is a trumpet mouthpiece. I have a nice Kanstul B15 with a "1" rim in lexan that I really like for soprano. As good as the Nova series is... almost every trumpet pieces blows it out of the water for sound quality.

I had one for the trumpet. Since like a trumpet and was actually in tune, but my range was barely up to high C (concert Bb). Not really very handy for most things you'd want to do on trumpet, unless you want to just play mostly in the staff.
