Detail 01
1.090" cup diameter
Well into bass trombone territory. More lip vibrates, which builds the low register but demands air and embouchure strength.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Large-shank bass trombone mouthpiece, 1.090" cup with a wide 19/64 throat. For full-time bass players and tenor-bass doublers.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Full-time bass trombone chairs in orchestra or big band
- Doublers who need one piece that works on tenor and bass
- Players who need a secure pedal register and a big low end
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Small-bore tenor horns — wrong shank and far too large
- Lead and commercial playing where a small rim helps up top
- Developing players who cannot yet fill this cup diameter
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
19/64 throat
Noticeably wider than the 15/64 used on tenor models. Moves more air for volume down low, with less resistance to push against.
Detail 03
Large shank
Fits large-bore tenor and bass trombone receivers only. It will not seat in a small-shank horn.
Detail 04
Between the 57 and 59
Bigger than the 57 tenor/bass crossover, smaller than the dedicated 59. That middle ground is why doublers land here.
Detail 05
Silver plating
Standard finish with a slightly grippier feel than gold. Tarnish is cosmetic and polishes away.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your horn takes a large shank before ordering
- 02Mouthpiece only — no case, pouch or brush included
- 03Big jump from a tenor piece; give your chops time to adapt
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is the 58 too big for tenor trombone?
Schilke lists it for players who double on tenor and bass. On a large-bore tenor it works, but it is far larger than a typical tenor size like the 51.
02How does the 58 compare to the 59?
The 59 is wider at 1.123" with the same 19/64 throat and targets full-time bass players. The 58 is the more manageable size and handles tenor doubling.
03Will this fit a small bore trombone?
No. This is the large shank version. Small and medium-bore tenor horns need Schilke's small shank line.
04What is the largest Schilke bass trombone mouthpiece?
The 60, at 1.143" with a 5/16 throat. Schilke aims it at experienced players; the 58 and 59 are the more common bass choices.
