Yamaha CR-Neo16B4-S Eb Cornet Mouthpiece - Neo Series | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls

The Yamaha CR-Neo16B4-S Eb cornet mouthpiece delivers brilliant tone and exceptional projection specifically designed for soprano cornet performance in British brass band settings. Featuring Yamaha's revolutionary Neo Specialized Heat Treatment (NSHT), this premium mouthpiece combines a moderately deep cup with the popular 16E rim contour to produce standout character and tonal clarity. Perfect for intermediate to professional cornet players seeking enhanced expression and long-term playing comfort.

Product Overview

The CR-Neo16B4-S showcases Yamaha's innovative Neo Series design philosophy, engineered specifically for British brass band performance requirements. The mouthpiece features a semi-shallow cup depth paired with a 17.05mm rim inner diameter, creating the ideal balance between brilliance and warmth that allows soprano cornet lines to cut through ensemble textures with clarity and precision.

Yamaha's proprietary Neo Specialized Heat Treatment process independently alters the physical properties of the cup, rim, and shank areas, maximizing tonal depth and warmth while maintaining the bright character essential for cornet performance. This advanced metallurgical treatment ensures consistent response and enhanced harmonic richness across the instrument's entire range.

The semi-flat rim contour provides superior lip stability during extended playing sessions, while the middle shank design offers optimal resistance and playability specifically calibrated for short Bb cornets commonly used in British brass band traditions. The enhanced thickness near the lip contact area delivers ideal resistance and smooth, consistent tone production.

• Professional cornet performers requiring long-term playing comfort during extended rehearsals
