Detail 01
.682 inch cup diameter
Near the top of Schilke's flugel line, which spans .630 to .700. More lip in the cup: bigger sound, slower flicker between notes.

SchilkeFlugelhorn Series Mouthpiece in Gold Gold 17F
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold-plated flugelhorn mouthpiece with a .682-inch cup and 24 throat. A wide-rim option for players who want the full, dark flugel voice.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Doublers who want a flugel rim close to a model 17 trumpet rim
- Ballads and section flugel parts where width of sound matters
- Players who already find narrow flugel rims cramped
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Trumpet or cornet — the shank and cup are flugel-only
- Lead-style playing; the 6F4 and 13F4 rims are far smaller
- Anyone unsure which shank taper their flugelhorn takes
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 and tighter than the 26 and 27 throats on trumpet models. That resistance is what the flugel tone leans on.
Detail 03
Compares to a model 17 rim
Rim diameter matches Schilke's trumpet 17, so a doubler can move between horns without relearning where the lip sits.
Detail 04
F designation
Marks the flugelhorn-specific cup and shank. These models exist only in flugel form, not as trumpet pieces.
Detail 05
Gold plating
Slicker feel than silver, and the usual choice for players whose lips react to silver plate.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Flugelhorn receivers differ by maker — confirm the shank taper your horn needs
- 02No pouch, brush or case is included
- 03Sizing up the rim takes adjustment time; do not judge it on night one
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit any flugelhorn?
Not automatically. Flugelhorn receivers vary between makers and shank tapers are not universal. Check what your horn takes before ordering.
02Which flugel model matches my trumpet rim?
Schilke lists each F model against a trumpet rim. The 17F matches a 17, the 14F4 a 14A4a, the 13F4 a 13A4a, and the 6F4 a 6A4a.
03Is the 17F too big for most players?
It is wide but not the widest — the 18F and 20F go further. If you play a 17-size trumpet rim, the width will feel familiar.
04Can I use a trumpet mouthpiece in my flugelhorn instead?
The shank will not match, and the trumpet cup and 26 or 27 throat are cut for a different sound. The F models are shaped for the flugel.
