Detail 01
.682 inch cup diameter
Medium to large for cornet. More lip in the cup gives a fuller sound but asks more of your endurance.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Schilke 17 cornet mouthpiece, silver plated. A medium-large diameter with standard cup and rim — a middle-of-the-road choice rather than a specialist piece.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Brass band cornet players wanting a versatile size
- Trumpeters doubling on cornet who need a neutral piece
- Players stepping up from a stock student mouthpiece
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Trumpet players — the cornet shank will not fit
- High-register lead work; a shallow A cup suits better
- Anyone chasing a very dark, deep funnel cornet sound
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
Standard C cup and number 3 rim
No specialty shaping in either direction. Balanced response across the range instead of favoring high or low.
Detail 03
26 throat
Schilke's standard bore. Middling resistance — the horn pushes back enough to center notes without feeling stuffy.
Detail 04
Cornet shank
Shorter and differently tapered than a trumpet shank. It seats only in a cornet receiver.
Detail 05
Silver plating
Durable, slightly grippy on the lip. The plating contains nickel, worth knowing if you have a skin reaction to it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — no pouch, cap, or cleaning brush
- 02Confirm you need cornet, not trumpet; the shanks are not interchangeable
- 03Expect a couple weeks of adjustment before judging the size
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this in a trumpet?
No. Cornet shanks are shorter and taper differently. It will not seat properly in a trumpet receiver, and forcing it risks damaging the leadpipe.
02How does the 17 compare to the 15 or 16?
It is slightly larger in diameter than both. The 15 and 16 blow a bit freer with a smaller feel; the 17 sits in the middle of the medium-large range.
03Is this deep enough for a traditional brass band tone?
It uses a standard C cup, not a deep funnel. For a bigger rounder cornet sound, the 11E style large funnel cup goes further in that direction.
04What size is this compared to a stock cornet mouthpiece?
Larger than most stock student pieces. Expect a fuller sound with more resistance to endurance until your chops adapt.
