Detail 01
16.76mm (.660") cup diameter
The narrowest rim in this flugelhorn range. Less lip in the cup, which helps upper-register control and endurance.

SchilkeStandard Series Flugelhorn Mouthpiece in Silver 13F4 Silver
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Silver-plated Schilke flugelhorn mouthpiece, model 13F4 — the smallest rim in this flugel line at 16.76mm, with a 24 throat.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Doublers who want a flugel rim close to a 13A4a trumpet piece
- Players who find standard flugel rims too wide
- Section players needing upper-register control on flugelhorn
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting the widest, most open flugel sound
- Anyone using a large trumpet rim — the switch will feel cramped
- Cornet or trumpet; flugel shanks are their own size
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
Tighter than the 26 throat on Schilke's trumpet and cornet pieces. More resistance, more back-pressure to lean on.
Detail 03
Matches a 13A4a rim diameter
If you already play a 13A4a, the rim feel carries over when you pick up the flugel. Less adjustment mid-set.
Detail 04
4 rim (semi-flat)
Flatter contact surface across the lip. Spreads pressure out, which most players find easier over a long session.
Detail 05
Silver plating
Standard finish. Holds up to regular handling and can be replated once the rim wears rather than replaced.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Flugelhorn shanks vary by maker — confirm yours before ordering
- 02Mouthpiece only; no pouch, brush, or case
- 03Coming off a wide flugel rim, expect the low register to feel tighter
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit any flugelhorn?
Flugelhorn shank tapers differ between manufacturers. Check what your instrument's receiver takes before ordering — a mismatched shank won't seat at the right depth.
02How does it compare to the other F models?
It's the smallest rim of the group at 16.76mm. The 14F4 and 16F4 step up in diameter; the 20F is the widest at 17.78mm.
03Can I use my trumpet mouthpiece in a flugelhorn?
The shank won't fit correctly. This piece exists so you can keep a familiar 13A4a rim feel while using the right shank and cup for flugel.
04Why a 24 throat instead of 26?
The whole flugelhorn line here uses a 24 throat. It's tighter than the trumpet standard, giving more resistance and back-pressure as you blow.
