Detail 01
.720 inch cup diameter
The largest Schilke offers in this line. More lip vibrates, giving a bigger sound, and it drains endurance faster than a 17 or 18.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Schilke 24 in gold plate for cornet: .720 inch, the largest cup diameter in the Standard line. For strong embouchures chasing maximum volume.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Cornet players in brass bands who need to fill a hall
- Strong embouchures already comfortable on a 20 or 22
- Long low-register lines where a big cup adds body
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who tire quickly or are rebuilding their chops
- Anyone doing lead or high-register commercial work
- Trumpet players — the shank won't fit your receiver
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
Huge volume of sound
This is a projection piece. It rewards steady, high-volume air and goes dull if you don't feed it.
Detail 03
26 throat
Standard throat for the line. The size difference is in the rim and cup, not in how much resistance you blow against.
Detail 04
Compared to the 22
The 22 is .710 inch. The 24 adds another hundredth, which is small on paper and clearly noticeable on the face.
Detail 05
Cornet shank
Cornet receivers are shorter and narrower than trumpet. This seats in a cornet only.
Detail 06
Gold plating
Finish, not function. Dimensions of the 24 are the same whichever plating you choose.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm you're buying for cornet. This will not seat in a trumpet.
- 02Jumping here from a 17 or 18 is a large step. Ease in gradually.
- 03Mouthpiece only. Plan on your own pouch and cleaning brush.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on a trumpet?
No. It's a cornet mouthpiece and the shank is sized for a cornet receiver. Trumpet players need the trumpet version of the model.
02Is the 24 too big for me?
If a 20 already feels wide or you fade late in rehearsals, yes. The 24's .720-inch diameter is the largest in the line and demands a robust embouchure.
03What does the large diameter actually do?
It lets more lip vibrate, which produces a bigger volume of sound and more depth in the low register. The trade is endurance and upper-register ease.
04Is gold worth the price over silver?
The dimensions are identical, so the sound-shaping parts don't change. You're paying for the plating and how the rim feels against your lip.
