Detail 01
24 throat
A wide bore behind the cup, so more air moves through and the mouthpiece feels less resistant.

SchilkeSymphony M Series Trumpet Mouthpiece in Silver M1 Silver
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Schilke M Series trumpet mouthpiece in the M1 size: a 24 throat with the large Schmidt backbore, for players who want a freer, more open blow.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players fighting a stuffy horn who want air to move more easily
- Symphonic and section work where a broad, unforced sound matters
- Anyone already on an M or MD rim wanting an opener backbore
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want a tight, resistant blow to lean on up high
- Beginners still setting an embouchure; less resistance is harder to control
- Cornet and flugelhorn players — this is a trumpet shank
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
Larger Schmidt backbore
The taper past the throat is opened up, which drops back pressure and lets the sound spread rather than focus.
Detail 03
Shorter throat section
The blow opens up sooner after the cup, adding to the free-blowing feel rather than building resistance.
Detail 04
Same rim and cup as the M and MD
Moving here from an M is a blow-feel change, not a relearn — the lip contact stays the same.
Detail 05
Silver finish
A plated surface rather than bare brass; wipes clean and keeps rim feel consistent between sessions.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Ships as the mouthpiece alone — no pouch, case, or cleaning brush
- 02Schilke's numbering is its own system and does not map onto other brands' charts
- 03Give an open backbore two weeks; your air use changes before your sound settles
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Bb trumpet?
Yes. It is a standard trumpet shank and drops into a normal Bb trumpet receiver. It will not seat correctly in a cornet or flugelhorn.
02What is the difference between the M1 and the M1D?
Same 24 throat, but the M1D uses a standard bowl cup with a tighter Schmidt backbore. The M1 has the larger backbore and shorter throat, so it blows more openly.
03How does the M1 compare to the M1C?
The M1C has a tighter 27 throat, a C cup, and the Schilke C backbore — a more compact, balanced feel with noticeably more resistance than the M1.
04Is this a good first mouthpiece?
It suits a player with an established setup better. The open backbore gives back little resistance, which makes pitch and control harder while an embouchure is still forming.
