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
Cut for tenor. Bass trombone uses a different shank and a larger cup, so this is not a substitute.
Detail 03
6-1/2AL
A Bach size code. Rim and cup are fixed by that number, so any 6-1/2AL plays the same as the one you already know.
Detail 04
$85
Standard replacement pricing rather than custom or hand-finished. You are buying a known size, not a bespoke fit.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check the receiver taper on your horn, not the model name, to confirm small shank
- 02No case, pouch or cleaning brush is included
- 03Changing mouthpiece size changes embouchure feel; allow a few weeks before judging it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my trombone?
Only if your horn takes a small shank. Most student and medium-bore tenor trombones do. Large-bore tenor and bass trombones use a large shank and will not accept it.
02Can I use this on a bass trombone?
No. Bass trombones take large shank mouthpieces. This is a small shank tenor piece and will not seat correctly.
03Does it work on baritone or euphonium?
It is made for tenor trombone. Shank taper decides fit, not the instrument name, so check your receiver before ordering.
04What is the difference between 6-1/2AL and 7C?
They are different size codes in the same Bach small shank line. The rim and cup differ, so feel and response differ. Shank fit is identical.
