Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold-plated large-shank trombone mouthpiece, .988 inch cup with a wider semi-flat rim. For large-bore tenor players who want the 47 sound with more rim.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Large-bore tenor trombone slides, which is what the large shank fits
- Players who like the 47 but want a broader rim contact
- Students and pros wanting even response and steady intonation across registers
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Small-shank and medium-bore horns; the shank will not seat
- Bass trombonists, who need the far larger 57 through 60 rims
- Beginners, better served by the smaller 45 or 46 rims
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
Seats only in large-bore tenor and bass receivers. A medium-bore horn needs the small-shank version instead.
Detail 03
15/64 throat
The same throat as most of the standard line, so blowing resistance stays familiar when you switch rims.
Detail 04
Number 4 semi-flat rim
Wider and flatter than the plain 47 rim. Pressure spreads over more lip, and the feel is more planted.
Detail 05
Built on the model 47
Cup and throat carry over from the 47; only the rim changes. Feel shifts, core sound stays close.
Detail 06
Gold plating
Surface finish only. Slicker against the lip than silver and it will not tarnish. Playing dimensions are unchanged.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check the receiver on your slide first. Large shank only, not medium or small bore.
- 02Mouthpiece only. No pouch, case, or cleaning brush comes with it.
- 03A rim change alters feel immediately. Give your embouchure a few weeks before judging it.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my trombone?
Only if your slide takes a large shank, typical of large-bore tenor and bass trombones. Medium and small-bore horns need the small-shank Schilke line, which uses the same model numbers.
02What is the difference between the 47 and the 47C4?
Same cup family and the same 15/64 throat. The C4 adds a slightly wider, semi-flat number 4 rim and measures .988 inch instead of .984 inch. Feel changes, sound stays close.
03Does gold plating change how it plays?
Not the cup, throat, rim shape, or shank. It changes the surface against your lip and how the mouthpiece wears. Choose it for feel and finish, not for tone.
04Can I use this on euphonium?
This is a tenor trombone size. Euphonium players in this line usually go to the deeper D-cup models such as the 46D, 51D, or 52D for more cup volume.
