Detail 01
Top only, not a full mouthpiece
This is the rim and cup half. It threads onto a separate backbore, which you supply.

WarburtonSize 9 Series Trumpet and Cornet Mouthpiece Top in Silver 9MC
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A silver-plated Warburton top in a size 9 rim with MC cup, for trumpet or cornet players already using the two-piece Warburton system.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who own Warburton backbores and want a second rim/cup
- Trumpet and cornet doublers who want one rim across both horns
- Anyone dialing in cup depth without changing rim feel
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a complete mouthpiece out of the box
- Beginners who have not settled on a rim size
- Anyone on a one-piece mouthpiece with no interest in switching systems
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
Size 9 rim
A mid-size rim diameter. Fine for general playing without the narrow bite of a lead-only rim.
Detail 03
MC cup
Medium cup depth. Middle ground between shallow lead cups and deep symphonic cups, so range and body both stay usable.
Detail 04
Silver plating
Standard finish, slightly grippier than gold. Some players react to silver on the lips; gold plating is the usual alternative.
Detail 05
Fits trumpet and cornet
The shank taper lives in the backbore, so the same top works on both horns once you have the right backbore.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01You need a Warburton backbore separately; the top alone will not play
- 02Confirm your current rim size before committing to 9
- 03Changing cup depth shifts intonation and response; give it practice time
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as a regular mouthpiece?
No. It is the top half of a two-piece system. It screws into a Warburton backbore, which is sold on its own.
02Does this work on cornet too?
Yes. The top is shared between trumpet and cornet; the backbore you thread it into determines which horn it fits.
03What does the MC in 9MC mean?
MC is the cup depth, a medium cup. The 9 is the rim size. Same rim is available in other cup depths.
04Is silver or gold better?
Mostly feel. Silver has more grip and drag on the lips; gold feels slicker. Some players choose gold because silver irritates their skin.
