Detail 01
It's a top, not a whole mouthpiece
The cup and rim only. It threads onto a separate backbore that you buy or already own.

WarburtonSize 3 Series Trumpet and Cornet Mouthpiece Top in Gold 3D Gold
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A gold-plated top for the Warburton two-piece trumpet and cornet mouthpiece system, in Size 3. For players already committed to that modular setup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Trumpet players who already own a Warburton backbore
- Doubling on cornet with one consistent rim feel
- Players whose lips react to silver plating
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a ready-to-play mouthpiece out of the box
- Players happy with a standard one-piece mouthpiece
- Beginners still settling on a rim size
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
Gold plating
Slicker on the lip than silver and less likely to cause a reaction in players sensitive to nickel.
Detail 03
Size 3
Fixes the rim and cup dimensions. Changing size later means only a new top, not a whole mouthpiece.
Detail 04
Fits trumpet and cornet
Same top works on both horns once paired with the correct backbore for each instrument.
Detail 05
Threaded two-piece design
You can swap backbores to change resistance and blow while keeping the exact rim feel you've built up.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No backbore included. Without one this will not play.
- 02Confirm your existing backbore uses Warburton threads before ordering.
- 03Cornet use needs a cornet-specific backbore, not the trumpet one.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I play this on its own?
No. This is the top half only. It screws into a Warburton backbore, which is sold separately and is required to play.
02Does gold plating change the sound?
Not meaningfully. The difference is at the lip — gold feels slicker and warmer than silver. Cup and rim dimensions drive the sound.
03Will it work on my cornet?
Yes, paired with a cornet backbore. The top is the same; the backbore is what matches the instrument.
04What if Size 3 doesn't suit me?
You buy a different top and keep the backbore. That's the point of the two-piece design — you swap one half instead of starting over.
