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
Small shank
Matches small bore tenor trombones. It will not seat properly in a large bore slide.
Detail 03
V-shaped cup profile
The V taper narrows gradually into the throat, giving smoother slotting and a rounder attack than a bowl cup.
Detail 04
Mid-size rim diameter
Enough lip contact for low-register body without the endurance cost of a large orchestral rim.
Detail 05
$85 price point
Bach's standard production tier. Rim and throat are stock, not hand-finished or custom-cut.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What's the difference between a 7 and an 11?
The 7 is larger and deeper. It gives more low-register body and a fuller sound; the 11 is smaller and shallower, favoring the upper register.
02Is a 7 a good school band mouthpiece?
Yes. It sits in the middle of the range, so it handles concert band, jazz band, and lesson work without pushing a student toward one extreme.
03Will this work on a bass trombone?
No. Bass trombones use large shank mouthpieces with much larger cups. This is small shank tenor only.
04How do I know if my trombone is small shank?
Small bore student and intermediate tenors are almost always small shank. If a large shank mouthpiece sits loose and drops too deep, yours is small.
