Cornet Mouthpieces

Middle Shank

Middle Shank

Most cornets used in British brass bands are “short cornets” rather than “long cornets” that have fewer bends and are closer to a trumpet in form. The mouthpieces used with these instruments have different shank types.

The newly designed Neo cornet mouthpiece has an M shank designed specifically for use with Bb (short) cornets, providing ideal resistance and playability for British brass band performance situations.
