Detail 01

YamahaStandard Series Small Shank Trombone Mouthpiece in Silver
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Silver-plated small shank trombone mouthpiece sold across a range of sizes, so the model number you pick determines the rim and cup you get.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small-bore tenor trombone in jazz, commercial or marching settings
- Students replacing a lost or worn stock mouthpiece
- Players who know their Bach or Schilke size and want an equivalent
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bass trombone, which takes a large shank
- Large-bore orchestral tenor horns built for large shank
- Players with silver sensitivity, who need gold plating instead
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
48 size (Bach 6-1/2AL, Denis Wick 6BS)
The common all-purpose size. Medium rim, medium-deep cup. Where most players land if they are unsure.
Detail 03
47 size (Bach 6-3/4C, Schilke 47)
Smaller and shallower than the 48. Easier upper register, brighter edge, less body in the low range.
Detail 04
51 and 52 sizes (Bach 5G, between 5G and 3G)
Larger rim and deeper cup. More low-register core and volume, but more air and endurance required.
Detail 05
A, B, C and D suffixes
Same rim, different cup depth. B is shallower, D is deeper, so you can change tone without relearning a rim.
Detail 06
45a and 45c2 (Bach 12E, 12C)
The smallest sizes here. Shallow and tight, built for lead playing rather than general use.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your slide receiver is small shank before ordering; large shank will not fit
- 02The size number is the whole decision here, so check your current mouthpiece first
- 03No pouch, brush or case included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which size should I get if I'm a student?
The 48 is the standard all-around size, matching a Bach 6-1/2AL. It handles band, jazz and lessons without pushing you toward either extreme.
02How do I know if I need small or large shank?
Small shank goes with small-bore tenor trombones. Bass trombones and most large-bore tenors use large shank. Compare the taper on your current mouthpiece.
03What's the difference between 51, 51b and 51d?
Same rim size, different cup. 51 is the baseline Bach 5G equivalent, 51b is shallower and brighter, 51d is deeper and darker.
04Will silver plating wear off?
Over years of daily playing, yes, particularly at the rim. Wipe it dry after playing and store it out of the case pocket to slow tarnish.
