Detail 01
.665-inch cup diameter
Middle of the Group I range. Enough lip in the cup for tone, not so wide that a developing embouchure struggles.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold-finish Schilke 13: a .665-inch cup with a standard number 3 rounded rim and C cup. Aimed at students and developing players.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Students moving off a stock mouthpiece onto something better made
- Developing players who need quick response and easy flexibility
- Concert band and lesson work where full tone matters more than screaming high notes
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead players chasing high register on a shallow cup
- Players who prefer a flat rim for endurance over a rounded one
- Anyone already settled on a larger diameter than .665 inch
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
The standard cup depth here. More volume than the A and B cups, so the sound has body rather than edge.
Detail 03
Number 3 rim contour
Schilke's standard rim. Rounder than the number 4, which makes slurs and flexibility easier.
Detail 04
Rounded rim shape
Notes speak fast and lip slurs move freely. Trade-off is less cushion on long sets than a semi-flat rim.
Detail 05
26 throat
The standard throat across most of this group. Normal resistance, nothing unusual to adapt to.
Detail 06
Gold finish
A finish choice only. Cup, rim and throat dimensions match the same model in other finishes.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only. No pouch or case included.

- 03Give any rim change two or three weeks before deciding it isn't working.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is the Schilke 13 a good student mouthpiece?
That's what it's built around. The .665-inch cup, standard number 3 rim and C cup give a developing player quick response, easy flexibility and enough cup volume for a full tone.
02How is the 13 different from the 13C4?
Same .665-inch cup diameter and 26 throat. The 13 uses the rounder number 3 rim; the 13C4 has a sharper inner edge and a number 4 semi-flat rim that adds endurance.
03Can I use this for lead playing?
It isn't set up for it. The C cup is a full-depth cup built for tone. The A cup models in this group, like the 13A4a, are the ones aimed at upper register work.
04How does the 13 compare to the 14?
The 14 is wider at .670 inch versus .665, with a standard rim, cup and backbore for all-around playing. The 13's rounder rim favors flexibility and quick response.
