17.50mm cup diameter

1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Heavy-blank trumpet mouthpiece, 1X size: a wide 17.50mm cup with a focused bite. For strong players who want a big sound that stays centered.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Lead and commercial players wanting brightness with body
- Advanced trumpeters with the air to fill a wide cup
- Players who want the sound to hold shape at high volume
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners still building embouchure and air support
- Anyone wanting a dark, blended orchestral sound
- Players who fatigue quickly on large-diameter cups
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
HeavyTop blank
Extra mass around the rim and cup. Slows the response slightly and adds a more solid, focused core to the sound.
Detail 03
3.90mm throat
Wide open. High air volume for projection and a full low register, with less resistance to push against.
Detail 04
Barrel backbore
Straighter than a V-type taper. Keeps the sound focused and bright rather than spreading it out.
Detail 05
5.23mm rim width
Moderately wide. Spreads pressure for endurance without the sluggish feel of a very flat rim.
Detail 06
Silver plating
Slightly firmer grip on the lip than gold. Some players react to the nickel underneath — worth knowing if you have sensitive skin.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — no pouch or case included
- 02The added mass changes how the horn feels; give it a couple of weeks
- 03Switching from a 3C-size cup is a big jump — endurance will dip first
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does HeavyTop actually do?
Extra metal mass around the cup and rim. It firms up the core of the sound and makes response feel more solid, with a slightly slower attack.
02Is 1X too big for me?
At 17.50mm it is on the large side. If you play a 3C or smaller comfortably, expect a real adjustment period and reduced endurance at first.
03How is 1X different from 1C?
Both are wide with barrel backbores. The 1X is slightly larger at 17.50mm with a wider rim and a more focused, bright high register.
04Will this fit any trumpet?
It uses the standard trumpet shank, so it fits standard Bb, C, and piccolo trumpet receivers. Cornet and flugelhorn take different shanks.
