SchilkeStandard Large Shank Trombone Mouthpiece in Silver 60 Silver
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Schilke's largest bass trombone mouthpiece — a 1.143-inch cup on a large shank, in silver. For experienced bass trombonists who want maximum body of sound.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Full-time bass trombonists after the biggest low-register body
- Orchestral and big-band bass parts sitting below the staff
- Strong players with the air to fill it
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Medium-bore tenor players; this is bass-sized and large shank
- Doublers moving between tenor and bass — try the 58
- Developing players; the air and endurance demands are high
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
5/16 throat
The most open throat in this group. Air moves freely, so the sound stays big instead of choking at volume.
Detail 03
Large shank
Fits large-bore tenor and bass trombones. It will not seat in a small-shank slide receiver.
Detail 04
Compared with the 58 and 59
Both are smaller and better for doubling or all-day playing. The 60 trades that flexibility for sheer size.
Detail 05
Silver plating
Durable standard finish with a bit more grip on the lips than gold plate.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Large shank only — confirm your slide receiver before ordering
- 02A big jump in cup size can cost upper register for weeks
- 03Mouthpiece alone; no pouch or cleaning brush
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is the 60 too big for me?
It's the largest Schilke bass model at 1.143 inches and intended for experienced players. If you double on tenor or are still building endurance, the 58 or 59 is more manageable.
02Will this fit a tenor trombone?
Only a large-bore tenor with a large-shank receiver, and even then the cup is bass-sized. For medium-bore tenor, look at the small-shank 50 or 51.
03What separates the 59 from the 60?
The 59 is 1.123 inches with a 19/64 throat, built for full-time bass work with strong intonation top to bottom. The 60 is wider with a more open 5/16 throat.
04Can I use it on euphonium?
No — it's a bass trombone mouthpiece. The Schilke models called out for euphonium are the 51D and 52D, with the 52D suiting players who want a wider diameter.
