Detail 01
24 throat
Wider than the 27-throat C models in this series. More air moves through, so the sound opens and resistance drops.

SchilkeSymphony M Series Trumpet Mouthpiece in Silver M1* Silver
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Silver-plated Schilke Symphony M-series trumpet mouthpiece, M1 star. M1 rim and cup with a larger Schmidt backbore and 24 throat, for players who want an open blow.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Symphonic players who feel choked by tighter C-backbore mouthpieces
- Anyone who likes the M1 rim and cup but wants less resistance
- Full-volume section playing where free air movement matters most
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who rely on resistance to steady the air — the M1C blows tighter
- High lead and commercial work; these are bowl cups, not shallow lead pieces
- Anyone who wants gold plating — this is the silver version
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 wide. That is where most of the free-blowing feel comes from, more than the throat itself.
Detail 03
Star (*) designation
Same rim and cup as the plain M and MD models. Only the backbore size and throat length change.
Detail 04
Shorter throat
Air reaches the wide backbore sooner, which is the main reason this feels looser than the M1C or M1D.
Detail 05
Standard bowl cup
Bowl-shaped rather than funnel, so attacks stay defined instead of soft-edged.
Detail 06
Rim number 1
Largest rim diameter in the M line, above the 2, 3, 5 and 150 sizes. More lip inside the cup.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Trumpet shank — not a cornet or flugelhorn fit
- 02Mouthpiece only; no pouch, case or brush included
- 03If it blows too open, the M1C uses a 27 throat and tighter Schilke C backbore
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between M1 and M1C?
Same rim and cup. The M1 has a 24 throat with a large Schmidt backbore and blows openly. The M1C has a tighter 27 throat and Schilke C backbore, giving more resistance.
02What does the star mean?
Star models carry the rim and cup of the M and MD versions but add a larger Schmidt backbore and a shorter throat, producing less resistance and a more open feel.
03Will this work on a C trumpet?
Yes, on any trumpet with a standard receiver. Choosing between M models is about resistance and rim size, not the key of the horn.
04How is this different from an M2 or M3?
Those are the same concept in smaller rim diameters — number 2 and number 3 respectively. All three use the 24 throat and larger Schmidt backbore.
