Detail 01
Heavyweight blank
Added mass keeps the mouthpiece from absorbing vibration, so attacks are cleaner and notes lock in more firmly.

YamahaHeavyweight Series Trumpet Mouthpiece With Gold-Plated Rim and Cup 14C4
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold-plated heavyweight trumpet mouthpiece in a 14C4 size. For players who want brilliance and firm slotting rather than a dark, open blow.
Strong match
Who this is for
- D and piccolo trumpet work in orchestral or baroque settings
- Players who want more resistance and a tighter core
- Trumpeters sensitive to silver plating on the lip
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want a warm, wide, dark tone
- Anyone who prefers a free-blowing, low-resistance mouthpiece
- Students still developing a basic embouchure
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
Shorter distance for the lip to vibrate into. Brighter and easier up high, thinner in the bottom octave.
Detail 03
Semi-narrow backbore
Narrows the taper past the throat, which adds brilliance and resistance. You work a little harder for volume.
Detail 04
3.65 mm throat
Moderately tight. Meters the air, which helps control and endurance more than sheer power.
Detail 05
16.46 mm rim inner diameter
A mid-size cup opening. Balances range and flexibility rather than favoring either extreme.
Detail 06
Semi-flat rim contour
Broader contact patch spreads mouthpiece pressure across the lip, useful on long programs.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sold as the mouthpiece alone. No pouch, case or cleaning brush.
- 02Standard trumpet shank; check your leadpipe receiver before buying.
- 03Gold plating is a wear surface and thins with years of playing.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between the 14C4 and the 17C4?
They are different sizes in the same Heavyweight series. Both share the semi-shallow cup, semi-narrow backbore and 3.65 mm throat. Try both if you can.
02Is this only for piccolo trumpet?
No. It fits a standard trumpet receiver. The design leans toward brilliance on D and piccolo trumpet, but players use it on Bb too.
03Does gold plating change the sound?
The feel changes more than the sound. Gold is smoother and slicker on the lip, which some players find more comfortable.
04Will the heavier mass hurt my endurance?
It adds weight in the receiver, not on your lip. Most players notice firmer slotting first, not fatigue.
