Detail 01
1-1/4 diameter
Bach numbers run backwards, so this is one of the largest. More lip vibrates: bigger sound, faster fatigue.

BachStandard Series Trumpet Mouthpiece in Silver 1-1/4C
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Silver-plated trumpet mouthpiece with a large diameter and medium cup. For orchestral and concert band players who want a big, dark sound.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Orchestral and concert band section playing
- Players with a developed embouchure wanting more core
- Anyone whose sound thins out in the low register
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead players living above the staff
- Beginners — the large rim tires you out fast
- Commercial gigs needing bright cut through a mix
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
Medium depth, the standard reference. Balanced tone with body in the low register and no artificial brightness.
Detail 03
Large rim on a medium cup
You get volume and warmth without the extreme depth of a B or A cup. A common orchestral middle ground.
Detail 04
Silver plating
Firmer, grippier feel than gold. Some players get a skin reaction to silver.
Detail 05
Standard shank
Fits Bb trumpets. Not compatible with cornet or flugelhorn receivers.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No pouch or case included
- 02Jumping to a large rim from a small one costs endurance for weeks
- 03Your usual high notes will feel harder at first — that's normal
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How does 1-1/4C compare to a 3C or 7C?
Same C cup depth, larger rim diameter. More lip vibrates, so the sound is bigger and darker, and the upper register takes more work.
02Is this too big for a student?
For most students, yes. A large rim demands embouchure strength. It's a step-up piece once your chops are established.
03Will it fit my cornet?
No. This is a trumpet shank and won't seat properly in a cornet receiver.
04Why does my range drop after switching to this?
Larger diameter means more lip vibrating and less support at the top. Range usually returns after a few weeks of consistent practice on it.
