Standard Series

For more than 60 years, Schilke Music Products has been a leader in brass mouthpiece design and manufacturing. Many of our mouthpieces are classic, unique and have become industry standards.

Renold Schilke and William Scarlett, a Schilke employee and student of Renold O. Schilke before his appointment as 4th trumpet in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1964, developed the Schilke mouthpiece labeling system. The labeling system we still use today for the Standard Series allows a player to quickly understand how one model relates to another within the mouthpiece line. These mouthpieces were a collaboration with trumpet artists and colleagues of Renold Schilke from 1950’s and early 1960’s.

The Schilke Mouthpiece Labeling System

When a Schilke Standard Series mouthpiece has a standard backbore, rim and cup, only the cup diameter (first number) is shown on the mouthpiece to designate the model number. For example, in the case of the model #14 trumpet mouthpiece, it is only necessary to identify the mouthpiece with the first number because it has a standard ‘C’ cup, standard ‘3’ rim and standard ‘c’ backbore. It could be cataloged as a 14C3c but the nomenclature was dropped, since the remaining variables are standard. The model 14A4a has a shallower ‘A’ cup, flatter ‘4’ rim shape, and a tighter ‘a’ backbore than the #14 model.

Regarding the Schilke mouthpiece numbering system,
using the model 14A4a as an example:

Mouthpiece-Labeling-System14 refers to “Cup Diameter”= smallest numbers have the smallest diameters. Diameter size increases as the number increases.

A refers to “Cup Volume”

A. Small – shallow

B. Medium small

C. Standard (medium size)

D. Medium Large

E. Large

4 refers to “Rim Contour”

1. Roundest

2. Semi-Round

3. Standard

4. Semi-flat

5. Flattest

a refers to “Backbore”

a. Tight, focused

b. Semi-tight; slightly more open than “a” backbore

c. Standard

d. Medium Large; slightly curved out

x. Large; for piccolo trumpet

z. Extra-tight
