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
Schilke's standard cup depth. Gives volume for tone rather than favoring the extreme high register.
Detail 03
Standard weight, not heavyweight
Thinner brass lets the mouthpiece vibrate more freely. Livelier response, less damping and focus than a heavyweight.
Detail 04
26 throat
Schilke's standard throat on medium models. Moderate resistance, so you have something to push against.
Detail 05
Group I series
Schilke's standard line, covering the common sizes in one price tier below the heavyweight and specialty models.
Detail 06
Silver plating
A little more grip on the lip than gold. A small number of players are sensitive to silver.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only, no pouch, case or cleaning brush included
- 02Cornet and flugelhorn need different shanks, this is trumpet only
- 03Changing rim contour takes weeks to adapt, do not switch before a performance
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What do the letters and numbers in 14C2 mean?
14 is the cup diameter, C is the cup depth, and 2 is the rim contour. On Schilke, a lower rim number is rounder and a higher number is flatter.
02Is this a good mouthpiece for a student?
The medium sizes in this group suit students and developing players. Schilke specifically recommends the 13 for that, with a rounder rim for flexibility and quick response.
03How is the 2 rim different from the 4 rim?
The 4 rim is semi-flat and gives more cushion and endurance. The 2 is slightly rounded, which favors flexibility and quicker response.
04Does this work on a piccolo trumpet?
It has a standard trumpet shank and will fit. Schilke makes the 11Ax specifically for its piccolo trumpets, with an x-backbore that eases playing on piccolo.
