Detail 01
16.33mm (.643 inch) cup diameter
Mid-size. Enough lip vibrating for a full sound, still small enough that most players hold the top of the staff comfortably.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Schilke Standard Series 9 trumpet mouthpiece, silver-plated, 16.33mm cup with a 26 throat. A mid-size all-round piece for general playing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Concert band and orchestral trumpet needing one do-everything mouthpiece
- Players who want a full sound without going to a deep cup
- Stepping up from a stock mouthpiece to a matched, consistent one
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead players living above the staff — no shallow cup or cushion rim here
- Cornet players wanting a deep funnel cup and rounder tone
- Anyone whose endurance issues need a wider, semi-flat 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
26 throat
Schilke's standard bore. Balanced resistance — neither the tight feel of a 27 nor a wide-open blow.
Detail 03
Standard rim and cup, no letter suffix
No shallow A cup, no cushion 4 rim. Baseline feel, so it is a fair reference point before you try variants.
Detail 04
Full, penetrating tone character
Carries in an ensemble without thinning out. Sits between a dark orchestral piece and a bright lead piece.
Detail 05
Silver plating
Smooth, consistent surface on the lip. Wears through at contact points over years and can be replated.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Fits standard Bb trumpet receivers; piccolo trumpet players want the 11Ax instead
- 02Mouthpiece only — no pouch, case or brush
- 03Expect a week or two of adjustment before your range and sound settle
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How does the 9 compare to the 11 or 12?
It is slightly smaller: 16.33mm against 16.53mm for the 11 and 16.69mm for the 12. All three share the 26 throat, so the difference is rim size.
02Is this a good student mouthpiece?
It works, though Schilke points developing players toward the 13 for its rounder rim and quicker response. The 9 is a fine general-purpose piece.
03Can I use it for lead playing?
It has a standard cup, not a shallow A cup. For high-register lead work the 13A4a or 6A4a are built for that job.
04Will it fit my cornet?
No. Cornets take a different shank. Schilke's cornet-oriented pieces like the 11E and 8mmE2 are separate models.
