Detail 01
.643 inch cup diameter
Small side of Schilke's cornet range, which runs past .673. Less lip inside the cup, so endurance comes easier.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold-plated cornet mouthpiece, .643-inch B cup with a 26 throat. For cornet players who want a compact rim and a rounder, conical tone.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Brass band and section cornet work needing a warm, blended sound
- Players who find .660+ rims too wide for endurance
- Anyone whose lips react badly to silver plating
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Trumpet players — this is cut with a cornet shank
- Lead work; the shallow A-cup models suit high register better
- Beginners — a student horn costs less than this piece
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
B cup
Medium-small depth. Sits between the shallow A cups built for range and the deep E funnels built for tone.
Detail 03
Funnel-shaped cup
Conical taper instead of a bowl. Pushes the sound toward the darker cornet voice rather than trumpet brightness.
Detail 04
26 throat
Schilke's tighter standard bore. More resistance to push against than the 27 throats on the A-cup models.
Detail 05
Number 4 rim
Semi-flat contour spreads pressure across more lip. Trades some flexibility for a cushion that holds up on long sets.
Detail 06
Gold plating
Slicker against the lip than silver, and an option if silver leaves you red or itchy.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — no pouch, brush or case comes with it
- 02Cornet receivers vary in taper; confirm which shank your horn takes
- 03Give any mouthpiece change two solid weeks before judging it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my trumpet?
No. It has a cornet shank, which is shorter and narrower than a trumpet receiver takes. Buy a trumpet-shank model for a trumpet.
02What is the difference between the 10B4 and the 10A4a?
The 10A4a is a shallow A cup with a tight a-backbore built for upper register work. The 10B4 has a deeper funnel B cup aimed at tone.
03Does gold plating change the sound?
Plating is a thin surface layer. Cup shape, rim and throat set the sound. What you notice with gold is feel — smoother and less grippy than silver.
04Is this good for a student?
It plays cleanly, but the 13 is the model Schilke points students toward, with a rounder rim for quicker response and more flexibility.
