1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Silver-plated trumpet mouthpiece with a 16.50mm cup, 5.18mm rim and barrel backbore. An all-around piece for players wanting a warm, centered sound.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Concert band and section work needing a steady pitch center
- Students moving up from a stock mouthpiece
- Players who want warmth without giving up the high register
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead players chasing maximum projection and cut
- Symphonic players wanting a 17mm-plus cup
- Anyone who needs a wide cushion rim for endurance
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
5.18mm rim width
Moderate rim. Defined enough for clean articulation, without the pressure spread of a cushion rim.
Detail 03
Barrel backbore
Straighter bore than the V-type on the 4X. Darker, warmer result with a stronger pitch center.
Detail 04
3.70mm throat
Standard bore. Normal resistance, so it holds together at volume instead of going airy.
Detail 05
Silver plating
Firmer feel than gold plate and more durable, but it tarnishes unless you wipe it down.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only. No pouch, brush or trumpet included
- 02Fits standard trumpet and cornet receivers taking a trumpet shank
- 03Expect a couple of weeks of adjustment coming off a different rim
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is this different from the 4X?
Same 16.50mm cup. The 4 has a narrower 5.18mm rim and barrel backbore for a warmer, more centered tone. The 4X adds a wide cushion rim and V backbore for projection and endurance.
02Is this a good step up from a stock mouthpiece?
Yes. The mid-size cup and standard throat keep it playable while giving a warmer, better centered sound than most included mouthpieces.
03Can I use it on a cornet?
No. This has a trumpet shank. Cornets take a shorter, narrower shank.
04How do I take care of the silver plating?
Wipe it dry after playing and store it in a pouch. Rinse it in warm water weekly and brush the bore to keep the throat clear.
