SchilkeHeavyweight Series Trumpet Mouthpiece in Gold 13 Gold

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold-plated Schilke Heavyweight 13: a small-diameter, C-cup mouthpiece with a rounded rim, in the heavy blank. Aimed at developing players.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Students who need quick response and easy flexibility across slurs
- Players with smaller lips who fight larger diameters
- Concert band and lesson use where tone matters more than screaming range
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead trumpet work — no shallow A cup or tight backbore here
- Players wanting a big orchestral sound; .665 inch is narrow for that
- Budget shoppers — this is student sizing at a premium price
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
Number 3 rim
Rounder than the semi-flat 4 rim. Easier to move on for flexibility and fast response, at the cost of some upper-register comfort.
Detail 03
C cup
Deeper than the shallow A cups in this line. Gives the small diameter enough cup volume to produce real tone.
Detail 04
26 throat
Schilke's standard trumpet throat. More open than the tight 27 used on their lead pieces, tighter than the 24 on the Symphony M models.
Detail 05
Heavyweight profile
Extra mass in the blank versus the Standard Series. Same dimensions inside, noticeably heavier and more solid in the receiver.
Detail 06
Gold plating
The premium finish, and most of why this costs what it does. Dimensionally identical to the silver version.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — no case or pouch included
- 02Gold plate wears through with heavy use; plan on eventual replating
- 03Trumpet shank only — will not fit cornet or flugelhorn
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is a 13 too small for me?
It's the smallest diameter Schilke offers in this line at .665 inch. Players moving from a standard 7C-size piece will notice a tighter, more confined feel on the lip.
02Why does a student mouthpiece cost this much?
The 13 sizing is aimed at developing players, but this is the gold-plated Heavyweight blank. You're paying for the finish and the extra mass, not the dimensions.
03What does Heavyweight actually change?
Just mass. The cup, rim and throat match the standard 13. The blank has more metal around it, so it sits heavier in the horn.
04Will this help my high range?
It isn't built for that. Schilke's high-register pieces use a shallow A cup, a number 4 rim and a tight a-backbore. This has a C cup, a 3 rim and a 26 throat.
