Detail 01
1.5C size
Notably wider rim diameter than a 7C or 3C. More lip vibrates, which fills out the tone but tires the chops faster.

BlessingTrumpet Mouthpieces in Silver 1.5C - Trumpet In Silver
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Silver-plated 1.5C trumpet mouthpiece with a wide rim and roomy cup. For players who want a bigger, darker sound and have the air to drive it.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Symphonic and concert band players wanting more low-register body
- Advancing students outgrowing a 7C and looking for size
- Doubling on a large-bore trumpet where a small cup feels choked
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners still building embouchure strength and endurance
- Lead and commercial players who live above the staff
- Anyone with limited practice time — big cups punish inconsistency
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
Medium depth on a large diameter. The volume comes from the width, not from an unusually deep bowl.
Detail 03
Large-diameter rim
Slotting feels looser. You get more color and flexibility, but notes need to be placed rather than found automatically.
Detail 04
Silver plating
Grippier than brass, which helps when a wide rim wants to slide. Resists tarnish from skin and saliva.
Detail 05
Trumpet shank
Fits standard Bb trumpet receivers. Not compatible with cornet or flugelhorn.
Detail 06
$36.99 price
Budget tier for a large-format piece. A low-cost way to test whether a bigger rim suits you before spending more.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Expect a break-in period — endurance drops before it improves on a wider rim
- 02Mouthpiece only, no pouch or case
- 03Jumping straight from 7C to 1.5C is a big step; consider a 3C between
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 1.5C too big for a high school player?
It depends on chops. A strong player with daily practice can handle it. If endurance already runs out in rehearsal, a smaller rim will serve better.
02What is the difference between 1.5C and 7C?
The 1.5C has a distinctly wider rim diameter. It gives more tone volume and low-register ease, at the cost of endurance and high-note security.
03Will it help my high notes?
Generally no. Wide rims favor fullness and low register. Shallow, smaller-diameter cups are the ones that ease upper-register playing.
04Does it fit a cornet?
No. This is a trumpet shank and will not seat properly in a cornet receiver, which uses a shorter and narrower taper.
