1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Large-shank Schilke trombone mouthpiece, .975 inch cup, slightly bigger than the 46. Sized for developing tenor players and young euphonium or baritone doublers.
Strong match
Who this is for
- School and intermediate trombonists on a large-bore horn
- Young euphonium or baritone players needing more cup volume
- Players who find the 46 thin and want more resonance
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Full-time bass trombonists, who need the 58 through 60 sizes
- Small-shank horns, which this will not seat in
- Orchestral tenor players wanting the depth of the 51 or 52
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
.975 inch cup diameter
Small end of the tenor range. Easier to control and easier on endurance than the 1.00 inch and up models.
Detail 03
Cup volume larger than the 46
More air behind the note, so the tone comes out fuller and more resonant without jumping to a bigger rim.
Detail 04
15/64 throat
Narrow throat. Adds resistance, which helps a smaller player center notes, but limits how loud it opens up.
Detail 05
Silver plating
Standard hard-wearing finish. A few players get skin reactions and are better off with gold.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your receiver first; large and small shank are not interchangeable
- 02Coming from a small shank, expect the response to feel different
- 03Euphonium and baritone use only works if that horn takes a large shank
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between the 46 and the 46D?
The 46D is slightly wider at .975 inch versus .966 inch and holds more cup volume, so it plays fuller and more resonant. Both use the 15/64 throat.
02Will this fit my student trombone?
Only if it has a large-shank receiver. Many student tenors are small shank, and this piece will not seat in them.
03Can I use it on bass trombone?
It is far too small. Schilke's bass sizes start around the 58 at 1.090 inch and run through the 60 at 1.143 inch.
04Is it good for euphonium?
Yes for a younger player on a large-shank horn. Euphonium players wanting a bigger, darker sound usually move to the 51D or 52D.
