Technical Data

Manufactured by Bruno Tilz
Inner rim diameter: 18.0 mm
Bore: 4.4 mm
Rim: medium wide
Cup depth: medium deep
Based on the Tilz model E.Schmid 115
The rim is slightly wider and rounder on the outside
The larger contact surface on the lip provides more grip and stability
The cup is slightly more open at the bottom of the bore than the E.Schmid115 model, which leads to a better air flow and thus to a more centred sound, especially in the area around the break position, because it is easier to switch between registers.
Transitions can be performed very beautifully
The back bore is also more open
One mm more mass is applied to the outer body, which makes the mouthpiece approx. 4-5 g heavier, which has a very nice tonal effect and makes the sound rounder, warmer and slightly darker, without losing brilliance in the higher register
Silver-plated
