This professional-grade mouthpiece features a thicker standard rim and 17.14mm diameter specifically engineered to aid in producing greater volume of sound, making it an ideal choice for players seeking powerful projection in large ensemble settings, orchestral performance, and situations demanding maximum tonal output and presence.
Product Overview
The 31 mouthpiece showcases Schilke's innovative approach to French horn design, incorporating a unique V-shaped cup that enhances volume production and tonal projection compared to traditional cup configurations.

This design represents over 60 years of Schilke's commitment to creating specialized solutions for specific musical demands and playing requirements.

This configuration enables French horn players to achieve powerful projection in large orchestral settings, outdoor performances, and ensemble situations where cutting through dense musical textures is essential. The mouthpiece maintains Schilke's renowned precision manufacturing standards while delivering the specialized characteristics that players need for high-volume performance applications.
Schilke's systematic labeling system, developed through collaboration with professional artists from the 1950s and early 1960s, ensures that the 31 delivers predictable performance characteristics that meet the demanding standards of professional musicians seeking enhanced volume capabilities without compromising musical quality or intonation accuracy.
