Product Overview

The 13A4A mouthpiece showcases Schilke's legendary craftsmanship with a shallow-depth cup and A-shape design that produces clean-cutting brightness while maintaining lush overtones essential for expressive solo work. The precision-machined silver-plated construction ensures durability and consistent performance, while the 0.660-inch cup diameter provides an ideal balance between comfort and projection. This mouthpiece represents over six decades of innovation from Schilke Music Products, continuing the legacy established by former Chicago Symphony principal trumpet player Renold O. Schilke.

The semi-flat #4 rim contour offers exceptional comfort during extended playing sessions, particularly important for lead trumpet players who spend significant time in the upper register. The carefully engineered throat size (27) works in harmony with the cup design to optimize airflow and response. Professional musicians worldwide, including trumpet legends like Dizzy Gillespie, John Madrid, and Jon Faddis, have trusted Schilke mouthpieces for their most demanding performances.

The tight "A" backbore design increases the instrument's brilliance while providing greater control over dynamics and articulation. This engineering approach creates the perfect balance between power and precision, allowing players to cut through ensemble textures while maintaining musical sensitivity for solo passages.
