Mouthpieces for Bb cornet are made in the modern Resonance body design. (Although not recommended, these can also be made in the vintage-model cornet mouthpiece body as a special order. Just contact the shop or add a note during checkout.)
Classic & Prana Internal Configurations
- Prana mouthpieces allow for the most resonant sound, most effortless playing, and most consistent pitch and timbre
- Classic mouthpieces can feel more forgiving for players who tend to play with a tighter physical approach, or who are accustomed to a non-Monette mouthpiece
Shank
Most Bb cornets use a standard cornet shank. If you have a vintage or unusual cornet and feel that you need a non-standard shank, be sure to select 'Other Shank' and click 'Add a note' during checkout to let us know what kind of cornet you have.
If you don't see the size that you want, just select 'Other Size' and write in the size you would like in the 'Add A Note' section when checking out.

Bb Cornet Mouthpieces
Monette mouthpieces are made-to-order and usually will not be available as ready-made stock. The standard estimated wait time to have a trumpet mouthpiece made is approximately 6-8 weeks. Mouthpieces for cornet are likely to involve a longer wait time because they are not made as often as trumpet mouthpieces. The exact wait time is unpredictable, as it is affected by many variables, including the time at which the order is placed, relative to our mouthpiece maker's next round of cornet mouthpiece production. We cannot guarantee a completion date or shipping date in advance. Thank you very much for your patience while you are waiting.
