An evolution in mouthpiece design utilizing several concepts from the standard Schilke line, the Symphony Series models are on the larger side of the mouthpiece spectrum creating a deep, vibrant sound with a well-focused center and conceptually developed to meet the demands of the modern orchestral player. They have comfortable rim shapes that provide a clean, crisp attack. They are offered with a standard cup depth or a deep bowl shape.
The 150 Series and “C” option for the Symphony Series (M1C, M150C, etc.) were developed working with Jack Sutte, trumpet player with the Cleveland Orchestra. The F cup models were originally developed for the Houston Ballet Orchestra trumpet section. The mouthpiece originally known as the “fluffy” has a flugel style cup and trumpet stem with the same rim contour and feel as the other models in this series. This has been a very popular custom choice for quieter passages where a cornet sound is desired without losing the control and focus of the sound.
Gold plating available on order. We can plate in-house or order it directly with Schilke.
| Model | Throat | Description |
|---|---|---|
| M1 | 24 | Standard bowl shape “C” cup with a 24 throat and Schmidt backbore. Excellent all around mouthpiece for both C and Bb trumpet. |
| M1C | 27 | Standard bowl shape “C” cup with tighter 27 throat and Schilke C backbore. A wonderful option for the player that desires a balanced, compact feel with more resistance than the M1 model. |
| M1D | 24 | Standard bowl cup with 24 throat and TIGHTER Schmidt backbore. Very good option for either Bb or Eb trumpet playing. |
| M1* | 24 | The “*” models share same rim and cup as the ‘M’ and “MD” models. They have a LARGER Schmidt backbore with a shorter throat that creates less resistance and a more open feel. |
| D1 | 24 | Deeper bowl shape cup that still provides feedback for control. The ‘D’ cups have a smaller version of the Schmidt backbore, tighter to balance the deeper cup. |
| F1 | 20 | The ‘F’ models offer a deep “V” shape cup that provides darker, warmer, more conical color allowing one to project at full capacity but maintain a soft mellow sound. These models utilize a shorter shank to compensate for cup volume plus a larger throat size & backbore taper. |
