Detail 01
.677" (17.20mm) cup diameter
Medium-large. More lip vibrates inside the rim, which builds volume and body but asks more of your embouchure.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Schilke model 16 cornet mouthpiece in silver: a .677" medium-large cup with standard rim, cup and backbore, for players who want more room than Group I gives.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who find .650–.670" cups cramped and want more rim area
- Sustained full-tone playing where a bigger cup carries volume
- Moving up from a Group I model without jumping to the .700" sizes
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead and high-register specialists; the shallow A cups suit that better
- Smaller embouchures — a big diameter is tiring if your lips can't fill it
- Anyone who wants extra endurance; the semi-flat 16C4 rim is built for that
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
Group II
Schilke's larger-diameter family, running .674" up to .720". Group I tops out around .673".
Detail 03
Standard rim, cup and backbore
No specialization in any direction. A neutral reference point to judge other models against.
Detail 04
26 throat
Standard bore. Keeps some resistance so the sound centers, rather than the freer 27-throat models.
Detail 05
Free-blowing character
Little back-pressure. Rewards steady air; if you're used to a tight piece, expect to move more air.
Detail 06
Silver plating
The standard finish, and why this sits well under the gold-plated pieces in the same series.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — no pouch, case, or brush
- 02A .677" cup can feel tiring at first; give it a few weeks before judging
- 03The 16C4 and 16C2 share this diameter with different rim contours if the standard rim doesn't suit
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How big is the Schilke 16 compared to a 14?
The 16 is .677" versus .670" on the model 14 — a small step up in diameter, but the 16 sits in the larger Group II family.
02What's the difference between the 16 and 16C4?
Similar dimensions. The 16C4 uses a number 4 semi-flat rim for a more traditional feel and increased endurance; the 16 uses the standard rim.
03Is this too big for a student?
It's a medium-large diameter aimed at a developed embouchure. The 13 is Schilke's pick for students and developing players.
04Does it fit a trumpet?
No — this is the cornet version. Get the trumpet model 16 for a trumpet.
