Product Overview
The Wedge 65S British cornet mouthpiece is designed specifically for use on the soprano cornet. The cup is shallower than the Wedge Medium Deep or Wick B cornet cup. It produces an excellent balance of upper register support with a sweet tone and the projection needed for soprano cornet without being overly bright.
