Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Large shank silver-plated mouthpiece with a 1.044 inch cup, sized for players who work across both tenor and bass trombone.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Doubling between large bore tenor and bass trombone
- Large bore tenor players who want more cup diameter than a 53
- Section players covering low parts on a bass horn
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Small shank medium bore tenor trombones — the shank won't seat
- Full-time bass trombonists, who are aimed at the 58, 59 or 60
- Players who want an easy high register on a small horn
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
15/64 throat
Narrow for a cup this wide. Keeps resistance and centering rather than the open blow of the 19/64 on the 58 and 59.
Detail 03
Large shank
Fits the wider receiver on large bore tenor and bass trombone slides only. It will not go into a small shank horn.
Detail 04
Sits between the tenor and bass sizes
Why it suits doublers — one piece that works on both horns instead of switching rim size every time you change instrument.
Detail 05
Silver plating
Bare metal on the lips. Wipe it down after playing, since exposed silver tarnishes when left dirty.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your slide takes a large shank before ordering — the two sizes don't interchange
- 02Coming from a tenor-sized rim, expect real adjustment time on this diameter
- 03Full-time bass players may want to compare the wider 58 and 59 first
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my trombone?
Only large shank receivers, which is standard on large bore tenor and bass trombones. Medium and medium-large bore tenors use small shank pieces like the 50.
02Is the 57 a tenor or a bass mouthpiece?
Both, in practice. At 1.044 inches it sits above the tenor sizes and below Schilke's dedicated bass models, which is what makes it work for players covering each.
03How does it compare to the 58?
The 58 is wider at 1.090 inches with a much larger 19/64 throat, aimed at doublers and full-time bass players. The 57 is tighter and keeps more resistance.
04Does the bigger cup give a better low register?
More diameter generally makes the low range easier to fill out, but it also asks more of your air and endurance. The narrow 15/64 throat here keeps it manageable.
