The Schilke 16 works surprisingly well from below the staff (down to the double pedal register) through the 'cash register' and into the upper register. It's an excellent all round mouthpiece that can be used for 'legit' playing, but will brighten up nicely for commercial use. The rim is comfortable, and allows for good flexibility. The shank of Schilke mouthpieces is slightly longer than other brands, as Ren Schilke believed that there should be zero/minimal gap upon insertion. This may mean that the mouthpiece is slightly loose in non-Schilke instruments. The quality of the silver plating is excellent.
