Detail 01
18 throat
A wide throat bore. Less resistance, more air moves through, bigger sound — but you have to feed it.

SchilkeSymphony Series Cornet Mouthpiece in Gold V150 Gold
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold-plated Schilke V150 cornet mouthpiece with an 18-size rim. For cornet players who want a large, symphonic rim and a wide throat.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Brass band and orchestral cornet players wanting a fuller rim
- Players already on a Schilke 18 or 1.25C rim size
- Anyone whose lips react badly to silver plating
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Small-rim players; an 18 diameter will feel wide fast
- Lead and high-register work where a smaller cup helps endurance
- Trumpet — cornet shanks will not fit a trumpet receiver
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
Rim comparable to a Schilke 18
Medium-large diameter. The rim high point sits nearer the center, so it feels slightly smaller on the lips than the number suggests.
Detail 03
Rim comparable to a 1.25C
Gives you a direct reference point if you currently play a Bach-numbered piece and want to match feel.
Detail 04
Gold plating
Slicker and warmer on the lips than silver, and it doesn't provoke nickel reactions. It also wears through faster with heavy use.
Detail 05
Cornet shank
Shorter, narrower taper than a trumpet shank. It seats in a cornet receiver only; an adapter is required for anything else.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — no pouch, case, or adapter included
- 02Check your current rim size; jumping to an 18 changes endurance
- 03Verify your instrument takes a cornet, not trumpet, shank
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my trumpet?
No. This is a cornet mouthpiece with a cornet shank. It will not seat correctly in a trumpet receiver without an adapter.
02What Bach size is this closest to?
The rim compares to a 1.25C, and within the Schilke line to an 18. Use that as your starting reference when switching.
03Why gold instead of silver?
Gold plating feels slicker and slightly warmer on the lips and avoids nickel sensitivity. Some players find it helps a dry embouchure stay mobile.
04Is the 18 throat too open for me?
It lowers resistance and needs steady air. Players with developed support get more volume; players still building air often feel the sound thin out.
