MarcinkiewiczSignature Series Trumpet Mouthpiece E5 - Bobby Shew #2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A $125 signature-model trumpet mouthpiece built to Bobby Shew's E5 #2 spec. For players who already know they want that exact cup, not browsers.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players replacing a worn E5 with the identical piece
- Trying a named player's setup rather than guessing at numbers
- A second mouthpiece kept in the case for specific gigs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- First-time buyers who need a general-purpose starter mouthpiece
- Cornet or flugelhorn players — wrong shank taper entirely
- Anyone shopping by rim and cup numbers across brands
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
Signature Series
Cut to one player's chosen dimensions rather than a generic size chart, so it won't map neatly to numbered sizes.
Detail 03
E5 / Bobby Shew #2 designation
The model name is the size. Order by this exact string if you're replacing one you already play.
Detail 04
$125
Boutique tier. You're paying for the specific cut, not for a beginner-friendly all-rounder.
Detail 05
Marcinkiewicz
A specialist mouthpiece maker. Sizing conventions are their own, so cross-brand comparison charts won't be reliable.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — no pouch, case or brush comes with it
- 02Switching cups changes your embouchure; give it weeks, not one session
- 03Check the leadpipe receiver for wear before blaming a new piece
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my trumpet?
Yes, if it's a trumpet with a standard receiver. It is not a cornet or flugelhorn mouthpiece, and those shanks are not interchangeable.
02What size is the E5 equivalent to?
It's a signature cut, not a numbered size, so there's no clean equivalent. Match it by name if you're replacing one you already use.
03Is this a good beginner mouthpiece?
Not really. A signature model is built around one player's setup. Beginners are better served by a common general-purpose piece.
04How is it different from the other Marcinkiewicz signature pieces?
Each carries a different player's cut at the same $125 price. Choose by the name you're after; they aren't interchangeable feels.
