With the same rim as the #20 and the CG3, it is easy to switch from one Gordon trumpet mouthpiece to another. Like the #20, this mouthpiece makes it easier to play high notes with a good sound and easier to play a range of dynamics or volume. I can only feel very slight increased resistance with the #22 in comparison to the #20. Some players may choose one or the other depending upon their level and the playing situation. I recommend both the #20 bore and the #22. William Schultz
