Schilke Cornet 6A4a

As a fan of small mouthpieces, I thought that this would work very well as a soprano cornet mouthpiece to cope with the demands of modern Championship Section test pieces. For those with a different technique to mine maybe this could be the case, but I found the mouthpiece difficult to agree with. While it does facilitate higher register notes with relative ease, the tone quality was very thin and brittle, and made controlling dynamics incredibly hard work - it seemed loud or louder were the only ways to go with this one! Very much a mouthpiece suited to those wishing for a "laser beam"-esque soprano sound, but not one for me I'm afraid. Schilke quality evident though, and despite being very small it weighed a ton!
