16.46mm rim inner diameter
Medium-small. Less lip inside the cup, which helps upper-register control but limits how wide the low end opens up.

YamahaHeavyweight Series Trumpet Mouthpiece With Gold-Plated Rim and Cup 11B4
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold-plated heavyweight trumpet mouthpiece in a medium-small 11B4 size, aimed at players working in the upper register and on D or piccolo trumpet.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Piccolo and D trumpet work in orchestral or Baroque repertoire
- Lead and commercial playing that lives above the staff
- Players with a nickel or silver plating allergy
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Orchestral C or Bb players wanting a broad, dark sound
- Developing players still building tone on a standard-depth cup
- Anyone needing a large-diameter rim for endurance on long ballads
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
Semi-shallow cup
Puts the lips closer to the throat. Brighter, more cutting core and easier high notes; thinner in the low register.
Detail 03
Semi-narrow backbore
Adds resistance behind the throat. The sound focuses and slots more firmly, but takes more air control on long phrases.
Detail 04
3.65mm throat
Standard-sized bore. Keeps blow resistance conventional rather than free, which suits the shallow cup's high-register bias.
Detail 05
Semi-flat rim contour
Wider contact patch spreads pressure across the lip. Steadier feel and better endurance; slightly less flexible for wide slurs.
Detail 06
Heavyweight blank
Extra mass at the receiver. Players choose it for firmer slotting and a more solid feel at volume.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Fits standard Bb, C, D and piccolo trumpet receivers; no adapter needed
- 02No case or pouch included at this price
- 03Gold plating wears through with hard use and cannot be spot-repaired
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is the whole mouthpiece gold, or just part of it?
The rim and cup are gold-plated. That is the area touching your lips and the inside of the cup.
02Will this help me play higher?
The semi-shallow cup and semi-narrow backbore make the upper register easier to reach and hold. It will not replace practice or air support.
03Can I use it as my only mouthpiece?
Possible, but the shallow cup and medium-small rim favor high and bright playing. Most players keep a deeper cup for orchestral or big-band section work.
04Does it fit my cornet?
No. This is a trumpet shank. Cornets use a shorter, narrower shank and will not seat correctly.
