An Excellent Choice for Solo and Lead Players
Since 1956, Schilke Music Products has met the needs of trumpeters, trombonists, and other brass players the world over, thanks to their innovative designs and impeccable quality. More than a half century since the company's inception, the Schilke 13A4a Heavyweight Trumpet Mouthpiece continues this tradition with exceptional results. Schilke’s Heavyweight profile trumpet mouthpiece takes the same internal architecture of a standard 13A4a and adds extra mass to the outside. By doing this, the mouthpiece delivers a darker sound with extra tonal focus. Schilke Trumpet Mouthpieces are found in the instrument cases of many of today's finest performers — add one to your collection and experience the Schilke difference firsthand!

Schilke Music Products: a heritage of top-notch instruments and accessories
The brainchild of former Chicago Symphony principal trumpet player Renold O. Schilke, Schilke Music Products quickly rose to prominence in the classical brass industry. Worldwide recognition ensued due to the impeccable quality of Schilke's instruments and accessories, so much so that Renold himself was tapped by Yamaha as a consultant to introduce a new line of brass instruments to the United States. While the Schilke family no longer manages the company, Schilke Music Products instruments and accessories are still manufactured to the highest quality. Their products have been utilized at some point or another by trumpet legends such as Dizzy Gillespie, John Madrid, and Jon Faddis. Now's the time to join the ranks of these performers and so many more — call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer today to purchase your Schilke mouthpieces!
