The Korena take

The silver 4ABL is a large-shank Classic Series trombone mouthpiece with a 26 mm cup, medium backbore, and a 6.72 mm rim. It is positioned for large-bore trombone, with a wider rim and easy response identified for young bass trombonists; strong euphonium players are also named. The model is designed around a dark core to the sound, flexible playing, and stronger high-register performance.
