Detail 01
Deeper bowl cup
More air volume behind the lips. Fuller, darker core, and a little more work above the staff.

SchilkeSymphony D Series Trumpet Mouthpiece in Silver D2 Silver
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Symphony D Series trumpet mouthpiece, deep bowl cup on a 2 rim, silver plated. For players wanting weight and depth in the sound.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Section work where a broad, dark core matters more than brilliance
- Players who already know the Schilke 2 rim fits them
- Trumpeters wanting more cup depth while keeping feedback for control
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead and screamer work — a deep bowl fights the upper register
- Players who want a free-blowing backbore; this one is deliberately tight
- Anyone unsure of rim size — 1, 3 and 150 also exist
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
Wider than the 26 and 27 throats on the Standard Series. More air passes through to feed the deeper cup.
Detail 03
Tightened Schmidt backbore
A smaller Schmidt shape that balances the deep cup, so pitch centers instead of spreading and you keep something to push against.
Detail 04
2 rim diameter
Schilke's mid-size rim in this series. The D cup is also offered on the 1, 3 and 150 rims.
Detail 05
Bowl shape rather than funnel
Bowl cups give a defined attack and a clearer center; funnel cups smear the front of the note.
Detail 06
Silver plating
Modest grip on the lip and a warmer feel than bare brass. Wears through with heavy daily use over years.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — no pouch, case, or cleaning brush
- 02Deep cups take more air; expect an endurance adjustment period
- 03Match the rim diameter to your current piece — rim changes hardest
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is the D Series different from Schilke's Standard Series?
D cups are deeper bowls, paired with a smaller, tighter version of the Schmidt backbore to balance that depth. The Standard line runs shallower cups and c-backbores.
02What rim sizes does the D Series come in?
Four: D1, D2, D3 and D150. All share the deeper bowl cup and 24 throat, so only the rim diameter changes between them.
03Will this help my high register?
No. The deeper bowl favors fullness and control. Shallow A-cup mouthpieces are the ones built to assist upper register work.
04What's the throat size?
24, on every model in the D Series.
