The Yamaha 16E Neo Series Middle Shank Cornet Mouthpiece in silver is designed to give players a warm, full sound. The extra thick outside shape helps make notes feel solid when you play. Yamaha uses a special heat treatment on the metal, which makes the sound deep and rich. The middle shank fits short cornets with a Shepherd's crook, so it sits just right in the instrument. The deep cup and unique backbore shape work together to soften the tone. This means your melodies come out smooth, not harsh. The silver plating protects the mouthpiece and looks cool. The rim is standard size and easy to hold, so your lips don’t get tired during long practice or playing sessions.

Yamaha Mouthpiece Adds Warmth for British Brass Band Style

Anyone who plays cornet in a brass band will notice a warmer sound with this mouthpiece. The deep cup shape helps long notes feel softer and more blended with other players. If your band uses short cornets, the middle shank fits well. The special heat treatment changes the metal a little, making each note ring out. Playing melodies feels smoother because the backbore is shaped to help air move through easily. A solid silver finish stands up to lots of use and cleaning. Players can trust their cornet to sound steady and full during concerts or practice.
