Detail 01
17mm cup diameter
Large. More lip vibrates, so the sound gets broader and darker, but stamina costs more.

Denis WickDW5882 Classic Series Trumpet Mouthpiece in Silver 1.5C
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Silver-plated 1.5C trumpet mouthpiece with a 17mm cup and 5mm rim. For players who want a large-cup sound with more rim comfort.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Concert band or orchestral players wanting a fuller, broader sound
- Players stepping up from a 3C or 5C cup
- Long rehearsals where a wider rim helps endurance
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead and screamer work above the staff
- Young beginners still building embouchure strength
- Players chasing a tight, compact jazz sound
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
5mm rim width
Slightly wider than a standard C rim. Spreads pressure across the lip and steadies the center of pitch.
Detail 03
3.80mm throat
Moderately open. Air moves freely for volume, at the price of a bit more resistance feedback.
Detail 04
Barrel backbore
Straight-walled bore that keeps the tone even across registers rather than favoring the top end.
Detail 05
Silver plating
Slightly grippier and firmer feeling than gold. Tarnishes over time; some players react to silver on the skin.
Detail 06
1.5C designation
Sits between a 1C and a 3C. Bigger than the student-standard 7C or 5C most trumpets ship with.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Fits standard small-shank Bb and C trumpets, not cornet or flugelhorn
- 02Switching to a larger cup takes weeks of adjustment before range returns
- 03Wipe and dry after playing; silver tarnishes where it sits wet
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 1.5C too big for high school?
It's a step up from the 7C most students start on. Workable for a strong player in concert band, but the larger cup will cost endurance until the embouchure adapts.
02How is this different from a 1C?
The 1.5C has a slightly smaller cup and a wider rim, so it's more stable and comfortable and a bit more flexible, with a more brilliant edge than the 1C.
03Will it fit my cornet?
No. This is a trumpet mouthpiece with a trumpet shank. Cornets use a different, shorter shank taper.
04Silver or gold plating?
This one is silver. Silver feels firmer and slightly grippier on the lip. Choose gold only if silver irritates your skin.
