Detail 01
.653-inch cup diameter
A medium size. Enough rim contact for endurance without so much lip inside the cup that the upper register suffers.

SchilkeStandard Series Trumpet Mouthpiece Group I 11 Silver
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The standard mid-size trumpet mouthpiece in Schilke's Group I: .653-inch cup, 26 throat, free-blowing. A general-purpose piece rather than a specialty cup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Concert band playing where one mouthpiece has to cover everything
- Developing players stepping off a stock horn mouthpiece
- Establishing a reference size before trying shallower or deeper cups
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead trumpet — the 11A and 13A4a carry the shallow cups
- Cornet players wanting a true funnel cup; that is the 11E
- Piccolo trumpet, which the 11AX and its X backbore were built for
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
26 throat
The standard Group I throat. Blows freely and keeps response even across the range instead of favoring one end.
Detail 03
Standard cup depth
Middle ground. Fuller than the shallow A cups, without the darkness and air demand of the deep E cups.
Detail 04
Group I sizing
Group I runs roughly .630 to .665 inch, so neighboring models differ by hundredths. Moving one number is a small change.
Detail 05
Silver plating
Slightly grippier on the lip than gold. Internal dimensions are identical, so it is a feel and finish choice.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only. No pouch, case, or cleaning brush included
- 02Silver plate tarnishes with skin contact; wiping after playing keeps the rim smooth
- 03Schilke numbering does not map to other brands — do not pick by number alone
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between the 11 and the 11A?
Nearly the same rim, .650 versus .653 inch, with a similar contour. The A cup is shallower, which brightens the sound and helps the upper register at the cost of some body.
02Is the 11 a good student mouthpiece?
It works, but the 13 is the one aimed at students and developing players — a rounder number 3 rim for flexibility and quick response, with a C cup for tone volume.
03How does the 11 compare to the 12?
The 12 is slightly larger at .657 inch and adds a number 3 standard rim with a C backbore for a wider spectrum of sound. The 11 stays simpler and free-blowing.
04Should I get silver or gold plating?
The dimensions are the same either way, so it comes down to feel. Silver is a bit grippier on the lip, gold is slicker. Choose by comfort.
