1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Small shank trombone mouthpiece with a 25.40mm cup and narrow 6.26mm rim. Built for clean attacks and upper-register work on small bore horns.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small bore tenor trombone players wanting a clear high range
- Lead and commercial playing where attacks need to be precise
- Players who want more flexibility than a wide-rim mouthpiece gives
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Large bore or bass trombone — this is a small shank
- Players needing a deep, dark symphonic sound
- Anyone whose endurance depends on a wide, cushioned rim
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
25.40mm cup diameter
A moderate rim size for tenor. Enough surface for control without the lip real estate a bass mouthpiece demands.
Detail 03
6.26mm rim width
On the narrow side. Narrower rims aid flexibility and slurring but concentrate pressure, so endurance suffers if you press.
Detail 04
6.24mm throat
A tight throat. Adds resistance, which supports clear attacks and the high range but limits how much air you can dump in.
Detail 05
Medium backbore
A middle-of-the-road taper — neither the free blow of an open backbore nor the focus of a V-type.
Detail 06
Silver plate
Standard finish. Slightly grippier than gold and a problem only if you have a silver sensitivity.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — no pouch, case or brush included
- 02Confirm your horn is small bore before ordering; shank size is not adjustable
- 03Rim and throat changes take weeks to adapt to — do not switch before a performance
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my trombone?
Only if it takes a small shank mouthpiece — typically small bore tenor trombones. Large shank horns need a large shank model.
02Is this good for jazz or lead playing?
The narrow rim, tight throat and clear attacks suit lead and commercial work on a small bore horn.
03Will it help my high range?
The tighter throat and narrower rim favor the upper register. Range is still built by practice — a mouthpiece shifts the balance, not the ceiling.
04Can I use this on a bass trombone?
No. Bass trombone takes a large shank and a much larger cup. This cup and shank are wrong for the instrument.
