SchilkeStandard Large Shank Trombone Mouthpiece in Silver 50 Silver
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Silver-plated large-shank Schilke 50 with a 1.00-inch cup. An all-around tenor trombone mouthpiece for players on medium- and large-bore horns.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Medium- or large-bore tenor trombone as a daily mouthpiece
- Concert band and orchestral section work needing one versatile cup
- Players stepping up from a small student mouthpiece
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Small-shank trombones — the shank will not seat
- Full-time bass trombonists, who need the 57-60 range
- Players chasing maximum lead register brightness
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
Large shank
Fits large-bore tenor and bass receivers only. A small-shank horn needs an adapter or a different piece.
Detail 03
17/64 throat
Wider than the 15/64 throat on the smaller models. Blows freer, moves more air, needs more support.
Detail 04
Standard Schilke cup and rim
No specialty letter designation, so response and intonation stay even rather than tilted toward high or low register.
Detail 05
Silver plating
Slightly grippier on the lip than gold and slower to tarnish than raw brass. Some players react to silver.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your receiver: large shank only, no small-bore tenor fit
- 02Mouthpiece only — no pouch, case, or brush included
- 03Changing cup size takes a few weeks of embouchure adjustment
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my student trombone?
Only if it has a large-shank receiver. Most student tenor trombones are small shank, and this piece will not seat properly in one.
02What's the difference between the 50 and the 51?
The 51 is slightly wider at 1.010 inch with a large bowl-shaped cup and J throat, aimed at large-bore and orchestral tone. The 50 is the more general-purpose piece.
03Can I use this on bass trombone?
It is sized for medium and large-bore tenor. Bass players are better served by the larger cups in the 57 through 60 range.
04Does the silver plating wear off?
Plating wears at the rim over years of heavy use, especially with acidic skin. Wipe it down after playing and it lasts far longer.
