Detail 01
Deep bowl-shaped cup
More air volume behind the lips gives a darker, rounder tone, but it takes more air to fill.

SchilkeSymphony D Series Trumpet Mouthpiece in Silver D150 Silver
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Schilke's D150: a deep bowl cup on a wide 150 rim with a 24 throat. For players chasing weight and depth, not lead brightness.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Orchestral and concert band playing where a fuller core matters
- Players moving off a stock piece toward a deeper cup
- Larger embouchures that feel pinched on narrow rims
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead and commercial work needing a shallow cup for endurance
- Beginners still building air support and embouchure strength
- Players who want a bright, cutting sound above the staff
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
Throat numbers run backwards, so 24 is a wider opening than the common 26 and blows more freely.
Detail 03
Tighter Schmidt-style backbore
Adds resistance after the wide throat so the deep cup still gives feedback instead of feeling bottomless.
Detail 04
150 rim diameter
A wide rim. More lip inside the cup for volume and depth, less support when you push into the upper register.
Detail 05
Silver finish
Plated brass surface. Wipe it down after playing, since skin contact dulls silver over time.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Trumpet shank only. It will not seat in a cornet or flugelhorn receiver.
- 02Ships as the mouthpiece alone, so budget for a pouch or case slot.
- 03Give a deep-cup switch two weeks before judging range and stamina.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my trumpet?
It's a standard trumpet mouthpiece and seats in a trumpet receiver. It will not fit a cornet or flugelhorn, which take different shanks.
02What does the D cup actually change?
It's a deeper bowl than Schilke's standard cups, so the tone gets darker and fuller. You'll move more air, and the top register gets harder to hold.
03What does the 150 mean?
It's the rim diameter within the D series. Across the D models the deep bowl cup and 24 throat stay the same; only the rim size changes.
04Is this a good beginner mouthpiece?
Not really. The deep cup rewards developed air support. A player still building an embouchure will find it stuffy and tiring above the staff.
