.674 inch (17.12mm) cup diameter
Small to medium. Pressure concentrates on a narrower ring, which helps the top end and limits how big the low end gets.

SchilkeStandard Series Cornet Mouthpiece Group II in Gold 15B Gold
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold-plated cornet mouthpiece, .674-inch cup with a shallower B cup. Brighter and more resistant than the standard 15, for players who want projection.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Cornet players wanting more brilliance and edge than a 15
- Upper-register and commercial playing on a medium diameter
- Players who like resistance to push against
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Dark, blended section tone — the standard C cup suits that
- Players needing a large diameter; .674 inch runs small
- Budget buyers; the same cup in silver costs far less
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
B cup
Shallower than the standard C cup. Adds resistance and brightness, and the sound carries further with more sparkle.
Detail 03
26 throat
Standard Schilke throat. Paired with the shallow cup, the horn feels more resistant rather than more open.
Detail 04
Gold plating
A surface finish, not a dimension. Cup, rim, and throat measure the same as the silver 15B.
Detail 05
Cornet shank
Tapered for cornet receivers only; it won't seat in a trumpet.
Detail 06
Same diameter as the model 15
The rim feel carries straight over from a 15. Only cup depth and tone change, so the switch is small.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — nothing else in the box
- 02Gold plating carries a steep premium over the identical model in silver
- 03Shallow cups tire the low register first; test before committing
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is the 15B different from the 15?
Identical .674-inch rim diameter and 26 throat. The B cup is shallower than the 15's standard cup, which brightens the sound and adds resistance.
02Why does the gold version cost so much more?
Gold plating is the difference. Playing dimensions match the silver 15B exactly, so the premium buys the finish, not a different mouthpiece.
03Is this right for brass band?
It leans bright. The shallow B cup projects and sparkles more than the standard 15. If you want dark blend inside a section, the standard cup fits better.
04Will it fit a trumpet?
No. Cornet shanks taper differently. Schilke offers the same cup numbers as trumpet mouthpieces if that's what you need.
