Detail 01
.670 inch cup diameter
Medium-large. More lip vibrates, so the sound gets bigger, but endurance costs more than a small rim.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold-plated Schilke trumpet mouthpiece, .670 inch cup with a medium C cup and semi-rounded #2 rim. For players chasing a broad, well-centered sound.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Concert band or orchestral players who want a fuller, rounder tone
- Stepping up from a small stock student mouthpiece
- Players whose lips react to silver or nickel plating
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead and commercial players who live above the staff
- Piccolo trumpet work, which wants an X backbore
- Players who need a sharp rim bite for crisp articulation
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 depth
Medium depth built for tone volume. Warmer and fuller than the shallow A cups, with less help up high.
Detail 03
Number 2 semi-rounded rim
Rounder inner edge. Comfortable and flexible across slurs, but softer attacks than a semi-flat #4 rim.
Detail 04
26 throat
Standard throat, tighter than the 27 used on the lead models. Adds resistance that helps notes lock in.
Detail 05
Gold plating
Slicker and warmer on the lip than silver. The usual fix for players who get skin reactions.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your horn is a trumpet; a cornet receiver takes a different shank
- 02Give any mouthpiece change two to three weeks before judging it
- 03Rim diameter matches the 14A4a, but the deeper cup trades range for body
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is the 14C2 different from the plain 14?
Same .670 inch diameter and 26 throat. The 14 uses a standard rim and cup for all-around work; the 14C2's C cup and semi-rounded #2 rim aim at a larger tone with strong center.
02Is this a good beginner mouthpiece?
It is playable but demanding. The 13, with its rounder rim, quicker response and smaller .665 inch cup, is the size Schilke points students toward.
03Will it help my high register?
No. The C cup is built for tone. For upper register, the shallow A cup models like the 14A4a with the tight A backbore are the ones designed for that job.
04Does gold plating change the sound?
The main difference is feel and skin compatibility. Gold sits slicker on the lip and avoids reactions some players get from silver.
