Schilke 15 heavyweight trumpet mouthpiece
The Schilke 15 heavyweight trumpet mouthpiece is an excellent all-around mouthpiece which offers a free blowing, clear sound. The additional mass provides a darker focused sound, with more secure slotting and increased projection at louder dynamic levels.
Rim diameter: 17.12mm/.674″
Throat size: 26
Silver plated
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:
14 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
