Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold-plated Schilke 13B trumpet mouthpiece. Medium .660 inch cup, medium-small B cup, narrow rounded rim. An all-around piece with more depth than a lead mouthpiece.
Strong match
Who this is for
- One mouthpiece covering concert band, combo jazz and church gigs
- Players who find flat rims deaden their flexibility
- Anyone who reacts to silver plating and needs gold
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Screaming lead work above the staff
- Orchestral players chasing the thickest, most weighted sound
- Endurance-first players who want maximum rim cushion
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
B cup
Medium-small depth, slightly deeper than the shallow A cup on the 13A4. Rounds out the sound without gutting your range.
Detail 03
Narrow round rim
Less contact area than a semi-flat #4 rim. Better flexibility and quicker response, less cushion over a long night.
Detail 04
26 throat
Schilke's standard throat. Normal resistance and airflow, so there's nothing unusual to adapt to.
Detail 05
Gold plating
Feels slicker and warmer on the lip than silver, and won't cause the reaction some players get from silver.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only. No case, pouch, or brush.
- 02The 13B and 13A4 are different pieces: the A4 is shallower with a flat rim.
- 03Give a new rim contour two or three weeks before you judge it.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What's the difference between the 13B and the 13A4?
Same .660 inch diameter. The 13B has a deeper B cup and a narrower round rim, so more tone and flexibility. The 13A4 has a shallow A cup and semi-flat #4 rim for range and endurance.
02Is the 13B a good all-around mouthpiece?
Yes, within limits. The medium diameter and medium-small cup handle concert, jazz and general playing. If your work is mostly high lead, a shallow A cup piece will serve you better.
03Does gold plating change the sound?
Not meaningfully. The difference is in feel: gold is slicker on the lip and non-reactive. Cup depth, rim contour and throat are what shape the sound.
04Will this fit a cornet?
No. This is a trumpet shank. Cornets take a shorter, smaller shank, so it won't seat correctly in a cornet receiver.
