Strong match

Who this is for

  • Large-bore tenor trombones used in orchestra and wind ensemble
  • A player wanting one mouthpiece that handles the full range
  • Replacing a lost or dented large shank mouthpiece

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Small shank tenor trombones; the shank will not seat
  • Lead and commercial playing that wants a shallower, brighter cup
  • Players who need a narrow rim for endurance on high parts

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 01

Large shank

Only fits large-bore tenor and bass trombone receivers. On a small shank horn it sits loose and leaks air.

Detail 02

25.25mm rim inner diameter

A wide rim by tenor standards. More lip inside gives a fuller low register but asks more of your endurance up high.

Detail 03

Standard cup depth

Middle ground. Enough depth for orchestral weight without the sluggish articulation of a deep bass trombone cup.

Detail 04

6.62mm throat

Moderately open. Lets air move for big dynamics while keeping enough resistance to center notes cleanly.

Detail 05

Semi-narrow backbore

Tightens the sound slightly and adds a little resistance, which helps hold pitch centered at loud volumes.

Detail 06

Standard rim contour and thickness

Rounded, neutral bite. Comfortable for long rehearsals and forgiving if your setup shifts under fatigue.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Check your receiver: large shank will not fit a small shank slide
  2. 02A rim size change takes a few weeks of adjustment before you judge it
  3. 03Buy a pouch or case slot; a dented shank will not seat properly

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this fit my trombone?

Only if your slide has a large shank receiver, typical of .547 bore and larger tenors and bass trombones. Small shank horns need a different mouthpiece.

02Is it good for bass trombone?

It will fit, but the standard cup depth is shallower than most bass players want. It reads as a large tenor piece rather than a bass piece.

03Will it help my high range?

Not by itself. The wide rim and standard cup favor a full sound in the middle and low register. Shallower cups make high playing easier.

04How do I clean it?

Warm water, mild soap and a mouthpiece brush weekly. Avoid harsh chemicals on the plating and never force a stuck mouthpiece out by hand.
