SchilkeSymphony Series Cornet Mouthpiece in Silver Silver V1
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The widest rim in Schilke's Symphony cornet line, comparable to a 1C, with an 18 throat. For cornet players already on large equipment.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Brass band and orchestral cornet players on 1C-size rims
- Trumpet players doubling on cornet who use a 1C
- Anyone wanting the largest rim in the V line
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead and commercial work where a smaller rim saves endurance
- Students, who will find a 1C-class rim demanding
- Trumpet, since the cornet shank will not seat
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
18 throat
Shared across all four V models, so changing rim size within the line does not change how much back-pressure you feel.
Detail 03
V1 versus V2 and V3
V1 is widest, V2 sits near a 1.5C, V3 near a 3C. Step down if the 1C feels like too much rim.
Detail 04
Cornet shank
Cornet receivers use a different taper than trumpet. This fits cornet only, and a trumpet piece will not fit your cornet.
Detail 05
Silver plating
Grippier on the lip than gold and easy to clean. Surface dulls with use but polishes back.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm you want cornet, not trumpet; the shanks are not interchangeable
- 02Give a 1C-size rim a few weeks before a heavy playing cycle
- 03Use a pouch, since loose plating scratches against keys and coins
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How big is the V1?
Its rim compares to a Schilke 19 or 20, roughly a 1C. It is the largest of the V models.
02Will this fit a trumpet?
No. It has a cornet shank, which is a different taper from a trumpet receiver.
03What is the difference between V1, V2 and V3?
Rim size. V1 compares to a 1C, V2 to a 1.5C, V3 to a 3C. All three use the same 18 throat.
04I play a Schilke 20 on trumpet. Will this feel the same?
The rim compares to a 19 or 20, so the contact should feel familiar. The horn and the cup are different, so the response will not be identical.
