The Schilke 15B Standard Series Trumpet Mouthpiece delivers enhanced brilliance and projection through its specialized "B" style cup design that produces a more brilliant sound than the standard #15 mouthpiece.

Product Overview
The 15B mouthpiece showcases Schilke's commitment to creating specialized instruments that address specific tonal requirements, incorporating the proven diameter of the popular #15 model while adding the enhanced brilliance benefits of the "B" style cup design. The 17.12mm (0.674") diameter provides excellent balance between control and projection, while the #26 throat ensures reliable response and airflow characteristics for demanding musical passages. This design continues the legacy established by former Chicago Symphony principal trumpet player Renold O. Schilke, whose innovative vision has influenced generations of professional brass performers worldwide.
The "B" style cup configuration creates acoustic properties that enhance brilliance and clarity compared to standard cup designs, making this mouthpiece particularly effective for musicians who need enhanced projection and tonal brightness for cutting through ensemble textures or performing in large venues. The systematic labeling approach developed by Renold Schilke and William Scarlett ensures that players can easily understand how the 15B relates to other models in the Standard Series lineup, with the "B" designation indicating the specialized cup design that sets this mouthpiece apart.
Schilke's precision manufacturing and 60+ years of design expertise ensure that the 15B delivers consistent performance characteristics and the reliable quality that serious trumpet players demand.
