Detail 01
17.20mm (.677") cup diameter
Matches the 16C4 rim, so switching from trumpet to flugel mid-set does not change where your lips sit.

SchilkeFlugelhorn Series Mouthpiece in Gold Gold 16F4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Schilke 16F4 flugelhorn mouthpiece in gold, 17.20mm cup. For the trumpet player who wants a flugel piece matching a 16C4 rim feel.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Trumpet players doubling on flugelhorn who already use a 16C4
- Lead or section players wanting consistent rim feel across horns
- Anyone replacing the generic piece that shipped with a flugelhorn
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Trumpet use — the flugel taper will not seat in a trumpet receiver
- Players who have never checked their current rim size
- Cornet players; the shank and cup are cut for flugelhorn
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
24 throat
Shared across the whole F series. Consistent blowing resistance whichever diameter you pick, so choose on rim alone.
Detail 03
F series cup
Deep conical cup cut for flugelhorn, which is where the dark round tone comes from rather than the horn alone.
Detail 04
Number 4 rim
Semi-flat with a wider bearing surface. Spreads pressure over more lip, which helps endurance on long sets.
Detail 05
Gold plating
Smoother and warmer against the lip than silver, and the usual choice for players who react to silver.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — no horn, no pouch, no case included
- 02Flugelhorn shanks vary by maker; confirm yours takes a standard Schilke taper
- 03Pick by your trumpet rim size, not by ear — the F series matches known diameters
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which F model matches my trumpet mouthpiece?
The series is cut to match: 13F4 to a 13A4a, 14F4 to a 14A4a, 16F4 to a 16C4, 17F to a 17, 18F to an 18, 20F to a 20.
02Can I use this in a trumpet?
No. The flugelhorn shank and the deep conical cup are specific to flugel. Use a trumpet mouthpiece in a trumpet.
03How is the 16F4 different from the 15F?
The 15F is 17.12mm with a rounder standard rim; the 16F4 is 17.20mm with the wider semi-flat number 4 rim. Similar diameter, different bearing surface.
04Will this fit any flugelhorn?
Flugelhorn receivers are not fully standardized across makers. Check what taper your horn takes before ordering.
