Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Schilke 13, a .665-inch medium trumpet mouthpiece with a rounded number 3 rim and C cup. A sensible piece for students and developing players.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Students moving off a stock mouthpiece
- Concert band and school ensemble playing
- Players who want quick response and easy slurs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead players needing a shallow cup for high-register work
- Anyone wanting a wide rim for a large embouchure
- Players already committed to a flat number 4 rim
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
Deeper bowl than the A and B cups. More air volume behind the lips, so more tone and volume, less help up high.
Detail 03
Number 3 rim contour
Schilke's standard rounded rim. Rounder edges let the lips move more freely, which helps flexibility and fast slurs.
Detail 04
26 throat
Standard bore. Opens the blow compared with the 27 throat on the shallow A-cup models, and evens out response across registers.
Detail 05
Quick response
The rounder rim and medium diameter let notes speak fast — useful when a player is still developing attack control.
Detail 06
Silver finish
Firmer and slicker under the lip than gold. Cleans easily; a small number of players get a skin reaction to it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — no pouch, brush, or case
- 02A rim change takes a couple of weeks to settle
- 03Not a high-note mouthpiece; the C cup is deep
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is the Schilke 13 good for a student?
Yes. The number 3 rounded rim and C cup give quick response and volume for tone, which is what a developing player needs most.
02How does the 13 compare to the 13A4a?
The 13A4a is narrower at .660 inch with a shallow A cup, semi-flat rim and tight backbore — a lead piece. The 13 is a general-purpose medium.
03What's the difference between the 13 and the 13B?
The 13B is .660 inch with a B cup slightly deeper than the 13A4, plus a narrower round rim. The 13 has a wider .665 rim and a C cup.
04Will this help my range?
Not directly. The C cup favors tone and volume. If range is the goal, Schilke's A-cup models with tight backbores are built for that.
