- Concert band and school players wanting a common all-round size
- Replacing a dented or lost stock mouthpiece
- Students moving up from a smaller 7C rim

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. Keeps low notes round while staying workable in the upper register.
Detail 03
Trumpet shank
Tapered for a trumpet receiver. Cornet and flugelhorn receivers take different shanks and will not seat correctly.
Detail 04
Silver finish
More grip on the lips than gold plating, and it wipes clean easily. A few players are sensitive to silver.
Detail 05
Under $40
Entry-level pricing. Consistent and durable, without the hand-finished rim work of professional pieces.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only. No pouch or brush included
- 02Stepping up from a 7C changes endurance. Allow a few weeks
- 03Trumpet receivers only. Not a cornet or flugelhorn fit
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is a 3C bigger than a 7C?
Yes. The 3C has a larger rim diameter than a 7C. It gives a fuller, broader sound but takes more air and more endurance, which is why players usually move to it after a year or two.
02Is this good for jazz or lead playing?
The medium C cup is a general-purpose depth suited to concert band and section work. Lead players who want a bright, easy high register usually prefer a shallower cup.
03Will it fit my cornet?
No. This is cut with a trumpet shank. Cornets use a shorter, differently tapered shank and the piece will not seat properly.
04How do I keep it clean?
Rinse with warm water and mild soap, run a mouthpiece brush through the throat, and dry it right away so the silver does not spot.
