.636 inch cup diameter

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold-plated Schilke 8E2 cornet mouthpiece with a small .636-inch cup and a deep funnel E cup. For cornet players chasing a smooth, rounded tone.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Brass band and traditional cornet parts where a rounded tone matters
- Players who want cup depth without widening the rim
- Cornet players whose lips react to silver plating
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Trumpets — this is cut for a cornet receiver
- Lead and high-register work; a shallow A cup suits that
- Players wanting a wide rim, .636 inch sits small
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
Deep funnel-shaped E cup
The depth is what rounds off the attack and keeps registers flexible. It also takes steadier air than a shallow cup.
Detail 03
26 throat
Shared with most of this series, so moving between these Schilke cornet pieces changes rim and cup feel more than airflow.
Detail 04
Gold plating
Playing dimensions are identical to the silver version. The reason to pick it is skin reaction or feel, not sound.
Detail 05
Cornet, not trumpet
The shank taper is cut for a cornet receiver. It will not seat properly in a trumpet leadpipe.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Fits cornet receivers only, and no trumpet adapter is included
- 02Mouthpiece only — no pouch, case or cleaning brush
- 03Measure your current cup diameter first; .636 inch is a real step
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my trumpet?
No. It is a cornet mouthpiece, so the shank is cut for a cornet receiver. A trumpet needs a trumpet-shank piece.
02How does the 8E2 compare to the 11E?
Both use a large funnel cup for cornet. The 11E is wider at .653 inch and pushes a bigger, rounder tone; the 8E2 stays at .636 inch for a smaller, tighter setup.
03Is gold plating worth it over silver?
The cup, rim, throat and backbore are the same. Choose gold if silver plating irritates your lip or you prefer its surface feel.
04Is this a good beginner mouthpiece?
Not the obvious first choice. The deep E cup rewards steady air. In this series the 13, with its rounder rim and C cup, is the student pick.
