Fits my piccolo trumpet perfectly.

Mihai Sorohan 13.12.2019

I bought this one to use with my piccolo because it was described as "bright". It fits me perfectly, it has a very nice rim that feels comfortable and doesn't cut into your lip even if pressed hard (but you will not need to press, it respond very easy).
It makes playing high notes easy, without making the sound thin and lifeless (like most small mouthpieces).
The sound is very bright and open.

Very small

RobSop 02.08.2017

As a fan of small mouthpieces, I thought that this would work very well as a soprano cornet mouthpiece to cope with the demands of modern Championship Section test pieces. For those with a different technique to mine maybe this could be the case, but I found the mouthpiece difficult to agree with. While it does facilitate higher register notes with relative ease, the tone quality was very thin and brittle, and made controlling dynamics incredibly hard work - it seemed loud or louder were the only ways to go with this one! Very much a mouthpiece suited to those wishing for a "laser beam"-esque soprano sound, but not one for me I'm afraid. Schilke quality evident though, and despite being very small it weighed a ton!

Great! But thin…

Anonymous 25.10.2023

I bought this as a cheat mouthpiece while I played soprano cornet - it was amazing feeling and I could play for hours but the sound was very thin and I struggled to scream above the band
