Detail 01
Size 2 rim
Large diameter, well above the common 7C or 3C. More lip vibrates, so volume and body increase with it.

BachStandard Series Trumpet Mouthpiece in Silver 2C
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Silver-plated Bach 2C trumpet mouthpiece. Large rim, medium cup depth. For developed players who want a big, broad sound without going to a deep cup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Advancing players with strong chops wanting more volume and breadth
- Big band and wind ensemble parts needing a broad sound
- Players who find a 3C rim too confining
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners — the rim size demands real embouchure strength
- Players struggling with endurance on long programs
- Anyone wanting the darkest possible sound; a B cup goes deeper
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. Balanced between a bright, easy high register and warmth; the general-purpose Bach cup.
Detail 03
Large rim, medium cup pairing
Big sound without the extra air demand of a deep cup. The rim, not the cup, is the endurance cost here.
Detail 04
Silver plating
Slightly grippier on the lip than raw brass and resists corrosion from skin acids.
Detail 05
Trumpet shank
Fits Bb and C trumpets. Will not seat correctly in a cornet or flugelhorn receiver.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Ships as the mouthpiece alone — no pouch, case, or cleaning brush
- 02Try it on a low-stakes week; a larger rim can cost range at first
- 03Keep your old mouthpiece as a backup until the switch settles
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 2C too big for a high school player?
It depends on chop strength, not grade level. If you already play a 3C comfortably through a full rehearsal, it is a reasonable step.
02What is the difference between 2C and 3C?
The 2 rim is wider. Same medium cup depth, but more lip inside the cup, so a broader sound and more physical demand.
03Will a bigger mouthpiece make my high notes harder?
Usually at first. A wider rim takes strength to control. Range typically returns as the embouchure adapts over several weeks.
04Does silver plating change the sound?
Any difference is small next to rim and cup size. The practical change is feel on the lip and corrosion resistance.
