TROMBONE CUP SIZES

Alot of time was spent on developing cup shapes that gave each mouthpiece the quality of sound we wanted. And we wanted these unique qualities to be reflected in the cup name.

Tenor Shank

C
 Ok, it is somewhat a traditional C cup in volume only. When you play this cup on the small tenor shank mouthpieces, you will see that there is a huge difference in the quality of sound. Throat size: .234"/5,94 mm.

 M
This medium cup is not too unlike a cup found on the 6 1/2 AL. Not too deep and made standard on only our 54M mouthpiece. Throat size: .265"/6,73mm.

Symphony Bore Tenor Shank

 M
This medium cup is not too unlike a cup found on the 6 1/2 AL. Not too deep and made standard on only our 54M mouthpiece. Throat size: .265"/6,73mm.

MD
The volume of this medium-deep cup is similar to that of the 5G cup. And like the C cup, there is a significant difference in sound between this mouthpiece cup and the traditional "G" cup.
Throat size: .281"/"K"/7,14mm.

D
Though deep, this is not as deep as the 51D. Nor is it like any other cup was have seen on a symphony shank trombone mouthpiece. But what this cup does is give the player a wonderful rich textured sound. While many will love this as a second trombone cup, stronger principal players will appreciate the richness this cup offers. Throat size: .281"/"K"/7,14mm.

Bass Trombone

MD
This medium-deep cup is similar in volume to cups like those found on the Bach 1 1/4G and the Schilke 59. Throat size: .295"/"M"/7,49mm.

D
A deep cup like the cup on Schilke 60 or Bach 1G. You'll love this one. Throat size: .312"/7,93mm.

Euphonium

No, we haven't forgotten about you players. Currently, we are working on a series of cups that will work for you as well. When completed, these will be available in tenor, symphony and the ever-popular English shank.
