The Yamaha 16B4 Neo Series Short Shank Cornet Mouthpiece in silver helps musicians get a bright, clear sound on an Eb cornet. This mouthpiece is made for short style cornets that have a "Shepherd’s crook" bend in their tubing. The short shank fits these instruments better, letting air move easily and making it easier to play high notes. Yamaha uses a special heat treatment, called NSHT, when making the Neo line. This changes the metal, so you hear more warmth and depth in each note. The 16B4 size has a semi-shallow cup and a semi-flat rim. These features make it easier for players to get the strong, focused sound needed in British brass bands. The silver plate finish looks cool and keeps the mouthpiece from wearing out fast.

The semi-shallow cup helps notes come out clear and bright, so your sound cuts through when playing in a group. The semi-flat rim feels comfortable on your lips during long rehearsals. Yamaha’s heat treatment means you get more warmth and resonance. Using a mouthpiece like the 16B4 Neo helps you play higher notes with less effort. When you need your cornet to sound powerful and stay comfortable for long sets, this piece makes a difference every time you play.
