Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Schilke 59, large shank, silver plated. A 1.123-inch bass trombone mouthpiece for full-time bass players who need range at both ends.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Full-time bass trombone in orchestra, wind band or big band
- Players who need a strong low register without giving up the top
- Doublers moving up from a 58 who want more diameter
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Tenor trombone — the shank and cup are bass-sized
- Students; this diameter needs a developed bass embouchure
- Anyone whose horn has a small-shank receiver
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
19/64 throat
Wider than the 15/64 throat on the tenor models. It lets the low register open up instead of choking off.
Detail 03
Large shank
Only fits a large-bore receiver. It will not seat in a small-shank tenor horn without an adapter.
Detail 04
Silver plating
Harder and slightly grippier on the lip than gold, and it holds up well to daily handling.
Detail 05
59 versus 58 and 60
The 58 is smaller and suits doublers; the 60 is Schilke's largest bass piece, for experienced players wanting maximum body.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your receiver — large shank only, so a tenor horn will not take it
- 02Sold as a single mouthpiece; no pouch or brush included
- 03Moving up from a 58 or smaller takes weeks of adjustment on air and endurance
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on a tenor trombone?
No. It is a large shank cut for bass trombone, and at 1.123 inches the cup is far larger than a tenor piece. It will not seat in a small-shank receiver.
02How does the 59 compare to the 60?
The 60 is Schilke's largest bass mouthpiece at 1.143 inches with a 5/16 throat, aimed at experienced players wanting a fuller body of sound. The 59 is slightly smaller and easier to manage.
03Is the 58 or 59 better for doubling on tenor?
The 58 is the one Schilke points doublers toward. The 59 is built for full-time bass work, so switching back to tenor from it is a bigger jump.
04Will it help my pedal register?
The large diameter and 19/64 throat both work in favor of the low end. You will need the air and embouchure strength to drive it, though.
