Example: "On my Yamaha Xeno it felt centered, a little resistant, and easier above the staff than my 3C."

Example: "Good commercial piece for me: bright response, comfortable rim, but tiring after a long set."

The Schilke 16C2 is a medium-cup Bb trumpet mouthpiece featuring a 17mm rim diameter and 3.73mm throat. It has a medium backbore, standard shank. Well-suited for orchestral and classical playing. Use these measurements as a comparison starting point: fit and response still depend on the player, dental structure, instrument receiver, and each manufacturer's measuring method.
