Schilke 13 heavyweight trumpet mouthpiece

The Schilke 13 heavyweight trumpet mouthpiece is an ideal choice for a student or developing player with standard #3 rim contour. Rounder rim provides increased flexibility and quick response. “C” cup offers volume for tone. The additional mass of the heavyweight blank provides a darker focused sound, with more secure slotting and increased projection at louder dynamic levels.

The Schilke Mouthpiece Labeling System

When a standard model Schilke mouthpiece has a standard backbore, rim and cup, only the cup diameter (first number) is shown on the mouthpiece to designate the model number. For example, in the case of the model #14 trumpet mouthpiece, it is only necessary to identify the mouthpiece with the first number because it has a standard ‘C’ cup, standard ‘3’ rim and standard ‘c’ backbore. It could be cataloged as a 14C3c but the nomenclature was dropped, since the remaining variables are standard. The model 14A4a has a shallower ‘A’ cup, flatter ‘4’ rim shape, and a tighter ‘a’ backbore than the #14 model.

Regarding the Schilke mouthpiece numbering system, using the model 14A4a as an example:

Mouthpiece-Labeling-System14 refers to “Cup Diameter”= smallest numbers have the smallest diameters. Diameter size increases as the number increases.

A refers to “Cup Volume” A. Small – shallow B. Medium small C. Standard (medium size) D. Medium Large E. Large

4 refers to “Rim Contour” 1. Roundest 2. Semi-Round 3. Standard 4. Semi-flat 5. Flattest

a refers to “Backbore” a. Tight b. Straight – slightly more open c. Standard d. Medium Large- slightly curved out e. Large
