Detail 01
.674" cup diameter
The smallest in this group. Less lip inside the rim generally means easier upper register and better staying power over long sets.

SchilkeStandard Series Trumpet Mouthpiece Group II in Gold 15 Gold
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold-plated Schilke 15 trumpet mouthpiece. A .674" medium-small cup that blows freely with a clear sound — a general-purpose piece, not a specialist one.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want one mouthpiece to cover concert band, jazz, and practice
- Anyone who finds larger rims cost them endurance
- Stepping up from a stock mouthpiece without changing your setup radically
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing maximum lead-register brilliance from a shallow cup
- Robust embouchures who need the volume of a .700"-plus rim
- Anyone on a budget — student-tier pieces cost a fraction of this
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
Shared by nearly every model in this series, so the throat isn't what separates them — rim size and cup shape are.
Detail 03
Free-blowing design
Little back-pressure against the air. Comfortable for long playing, but gives less feedback to push against than a resistant piece.
Detail 04
Standard rim (not a number 4)
Narrower and rounder than the semi-flat 15C4. More flexible for slurs and bends, less cushion for endurance.
Detail 05
Standard cup depth
Deeper than the 15B at the same diameter, so it reads fuller and less brilliant across the range.
Detail 06
Gold plating
Slightly softer, grippier feel on the lip than silver, and an option if silver plate irritates your skin.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — no pouch, case, or cleaning brush included
- 02Trumpet taper; a cornet needs a cornet-shank piece instead
- 03Give any new rim size two weeks before judging it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is the Schilke 15 a good all-around mouthpiece?
That's what it's built for — a free-blowing, clear-sounding piece that isn't specialized toward lead or symphonic playing. It's the smallest diameter in this group, which favors endurance.
02What's the difference between the 15 and the 15B?
Same .674" rim diameter. The 15B has a shallower B cup, which produces a more brilliant sound. The plain 15 is fuller and less edgy.
03Should I get the 15 or the 15C4?
Same diameter, different rim. The 15C4 uses a number 4 semi-flat rim for increased endurance. Choose it if long sets wear you out; choose the 15 for more flexibility.
04Is it worth this much over a standard mouthpiece?
You're paying for gold plating and Schilke's tolerances, not a different sound category. The dimensions do the work — if the size fits you, the piece will play the same in silver.
