      I recently bought an extremely rare cornet mouthpiece on eBay. I’ve been looking for an original, marked mouthpiece for my circa 1870 Henry Lehnert SARV Bb cornet for many years, and this one popped up on eBay about a week ago. I clicked the buy it now button, and it came in the mail today.

      It’s in very good condition to be so old, and the shank, which is smaller than modern cornet shanks, fits my cornet perfectly. I was very surprised at how well it played. It’s nice to reunite orphaned vintage pieces to their parent instruments. Now, if I only had an original Lehnert case...lol

            I missed it if you said, what do you think the diameter is?

            I have an unmarked cornet mouthpiece. Construction looks like late 1800's. Perfectly fits my 1903 Conn Wonder. Sounds great. Small diameter makes it more of a challenge. Working to get acclimated. Have you had any issues with yours and playability?

              I took out the calipers this morning and measured it as best I could. All dimensions are in millimeters, most rounded off insignificantly, and the 13mm dimension is the cup depth. Comparatively, the cup width is somewhere in the Bach 7 to 9 range, throat is about a 22.

              To answer your second question, my initial playing impression was that it suits the cornet very well and seems to be very playable for me, even though I normally play slightly wider cups (Curry 3C. on trumpet). I’m currently preparing for some slightly difficult Easter playing, so I’m not messing with the new cornet mouthpiece until after Easter.

                Once you get a chance to really explore the combination of mouthpiece and horn, please consider posting a video. I'd love to hear the sound.

                Your measurements tell me that the mouthpiece is about the same dimensions as my old unmarked mouthpiece that I'm currently using. It is small but not so small that it can't be used. I have a Conn 18 that looks great but is so small I just can't be consistent with it.
