Re: Problem with Schilke Cornet m.p's fitting Vintage Cornet M.P. Rewciever.

I think the taper on Schilke cornet mouthpieces is the same as on Bachs, but they start out a little smaller, so are longer. I have the same problem with them on one of my cornets - it bottoms out in the receiver before it gets tight. The solution is to cut or file a little of the length off.
