Mouthpieces for a Piccolo

eisprl · 03-22-2007, 02:50 PM

Hi everyone. I have started to use the Schilke piccolo trumpet at work but it take the cornet mouthpieces. Does anyone out there have an opinion on a really good cornet mouthpiece for a picc? (Until now I have been using the yamaha which takes regular Bb trumpet mps). (FYI - I am used to a rather narrow rim).

Standard is the Schilke 11A (or 12A, for some guys) and Bach 7E. Stork offers tons of options for picc., and my personal favorite for the Schilke P5-4 is an old funky Selmer cornet mouthpiece that just says "Selmer" on it. The cup and backbore popping pitches match, and it sounds great. Unfortunately, I don't have a P5-4, so I use a custom Curry on my Scherzer. Have fun -- new horn and new mouthpiece!

Im a fan of Stork Picc mouthpieces... check em out if you get the chance
i THINK they make what you're looking for, but im not 100% positive

Here are three that have worked well for me:
Bach 10 1/2D
Warburton 5SV
Yamaha 13A4a

It might be good to check out what Schilke makes, too.

The 10 1/2 seems to be pretty common, as well as the 7E.

I have a 7E w/a schilke shank and .117 backbore. Works well for me.

What did you use on your Yamaha? Maybe you can just find one with a cornet shank...

I play the Schilke 11A as well on P5-4, it has PIC stamped on the backbore, I don't know if that is custom or not, I got it from a friend.

You're totally right, I never even thought of it. I play on GR mps (and for Picc I played a 65z** - I'll just order one with a cornet shank on it - duh!)

Thanks

I play on a Schilke P5-4 and play on a custom Schilke 'Faddis' model with a cornet shank. I originally tried one on a b-flat trumpet and found it interesting, but the sound was much too bright and edgy for me. I got one with a cornet shank and love it. It is the most in tune mouthpiece I've found on the piccolo. The sound is still a bit brighter than I like, but the slotting and intonation is so 'on' that I've become tolerant brightness.
