Detail 01
.665 inch cup diameter
Middle of the range. Enough lip in the cup for a full low register without the strain a wide rim puts on the top.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Schilke 13C4 cornet mouthpiece, gold plate. Medium .665-inch cup with a funnel C cup and flat number 4 rim, for players who want clarity plus endurance.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Brass band and concert cornet parts over long rehearsals
- Players who want articulation to speak cleanly
- Trumpeters doubling on cornet at a medium rim size
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players after the darkest, roundest cornet tone
- High-note specialists; the shallow A cups do that work
- Anyone on a small rim — .665 is medium, not narrow
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
C cup, funnel shaped
The funnel gives cornet its rounder voice, but this one stays clear rather than dark. Good when parts need to be heard.
Detail 03
Sharp inner edge
Defines where the lip stops vibrating. Attacks speak faster and cleaner, at the cost of some comfort on very long sessions.
Detail 04
Number 4 semi-flat rim
Spreads pressure across more lip than a rounded rim. This is the endurance difference against the standard number 3 models.
Detail 05
26 throat
Throat gauge runs backward — 26 is a bit more open than 27, so this feels free-blowing rather than resistant.
Detail 06
Gold finish
Same rim contour as silver. Slicker under the lips, and the usual pick if silver plating bothers your skin.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Cornet shank — it will not fit a trumpet receiver
- 02Mouthpiece only; no pouch or case included
- 03Sharper inner edge takes adjusting to if you play a rounded rim
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is this different from the plain model 13?
Same .665 cup diameter. The 13 uses a rounder number 3 rim for flexibility and quick response; the 13C4's flatter number 4 rim trades some of that for endurance.
02Can I use a cornet mouthpiece in a trumpet?
No. The cornet shank is shorter and tapers differently, so it will not seat correctly in a trumpet receiver.
03Which model gives a darker cornet sound?
The 11E has a large funnel cup built for a big round tone, and the 8E2's deep funnel is also aimed at cornet players. The 13C4 is the clearer option.
04Is this suitable for a student?
The .665 diameter works from student through professional. The sharper inner edge and flat rim suit a player with a settled embouchure more than a beginner.
