Detail 01
It's an adapter, not a mouthpiece
It sits between your mouthpiece and the slide receiver. You still supply the mouthpiece.

Bach380 Tenor Trombone Mouthpiece Adapter
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A shank adapter for tenor trombone. It lets a mouthpiece cut for one shank size seat in a receiver made for the other.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Keeping a favorite mouthpiece when you switch horns
- Trying a borrowed mouthpiece before buying that size
- Doublers moving between horns with different receivers
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing an actual mouthpiece — this is hardware only
- Players chasing a tone or response upgrade
- Permanent setups, where the right-shank mouthpiece is better
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Tenor trombone fit
Sized for tenor slide receivers. Receivers vary by horn, so match it to what your slide actually takes.
Detail 03
Changes the gap
Any adapter alters the space between mouthpiece and leadpipe, which can shift slotting and response slightly.
Detail 04
Metal-to-metal seat
Push it in gently. Forced shanks stick, and a stuck adapter needs a puller to remove safely.
Detail 05
$29.99
Far cheaper than rebuying a mouthpiece you like in the other shank size.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm which direction you need before ordering — small-to-large or large-to-small
- 02No mouthpiece included; this is the adapter alone
- 03Expect a small change in response and intonation versus a native-shank mouthpiece
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does a mouthpiece come with it?
No. You use your own mouthpiece with it.
02Will it change how my trombone plays?
Slightly. It moves the mouthpiece further from the leadpipe, which can change how notes slot and how the horn responds. Most players adjust quickly.
03Can I leave it in the horn permanently?
You can, but pull it and the mouthpiece regularly so nothing seizes in the receiver. Twist gently rather than forcing.
04Is this better than buying the mouthpiece in the right shank?
No. A native-shank mouthpiece is the cleaner setup. The adapter is for when you want to keep a specific mouthpiece you already play.
