Detail 01
Deep cup
Darkens the tone and softens the high register. That's the flugelhorn sound, at the cost of projection and edge.

Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Deep-cup flugelhorn mouthpiece with a 16.24mm rim. For players who want a mellow top end and a familiar rim feel coming from a trumpet piece.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Trumpet players adding flugelhorn without relearning rim feel
- Jazz and ballad playing where a soft high register matters
- Doublers who switch horns mid-set and need consistency
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting brightness or edge — the deep cup works against that
- Small-rim players; 16.24mm is on the wider side
- Lead playing where projection beats warmth
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
16.24mm rim inner diameter
A wider rim gives more lip room and low-register ease, but takes more endurance than a narrow one.
Detail 03
Thick rim, semi-flat contour
Spreads pressure over more lip area, so it's comfortable on long sets. Slightly less precise on fast slurs.
Detail 04
4.30mm throat
A standard opening. Controls how much air the piece takes; this sits in the normal range, not free-blowing or tight.
Detail 05
Standard backbore
No unusual taper. Intonation and response behave predictably across the horn rather than favoring one register.
Detail 06
Sized close to the YAC TR7A4 trumpet piece
If you play that trumpet mouthpiece, the switch to flugel won't feel like a different embouchure.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Flugelhorns use different shank tapers — confirm yours matches before ordering
- 02A mouthpiece alone won't fix a stuffy or leaky horn
- 03Rim size is personal; if you play narrow rims, 16.24mm will feel large
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit any flugelhorn?
Flugelhorn shanks vary by maker. Check which taper your horn takes before ordering, since a mismatched shank won't seat properly.
02Can I use this on a trumpet?
No. Flugelhorn mouthpieces have a different shank and a much deeper cup. It won't fit a trumpet receiver correctly.
03How does this compare to the 13F4 or 14F4?
Within the same F4 family, the number reflects rim size. The 16F4 is the wider option; the 13F4 and 14F4 are smaller across the rim.
04Will it make my high notes easier?
It makes them mellower, not easier. The deep cup favors warmth over projection, and the wider rim demands reasonable endurance.
