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
Bach's middle depth. Balanced tone rather than bright and shallow or dark and deep.
Detail 03
Silver plating
Slightly more grip and drag on the lip than gold plate. Tarnishes and needs occasional polishing.
Detail 04
Standard Series
Bach's regular production line, so replacements and matching sizes stay easy to find.
Detail 05
Trumpet shank
Fits trumpet and most cornets with a trumpet receiver. Not a flugelhorn or cornet-taper piece.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 1-1/2C bigger than 7C?
Yes. The 1-1/2C has a noticeably wider cup diameter with a similar cup depth. Expect a fuller low and middle register and more air demand.
02Will this fit my cornet?
Only if your cornet takes a trumpet-shank mouthpiece. Most cornets use a smaller shank taper and need a cornet mouthpiece or an adapter.
03Silver or gold plate?
Silver has more drag against the lip, which many players read as better grip. Gold feels slicker and suits anyone reactive to the metals under plating.
04Is this good for a beginner?
It is large for a first mouthpiece. Most beginners start smaller and move up once their embouchure and air support are established. Ask your teacher first.
