28.52mm (1.123") cup diameter
Wide enough that lip placement changes. Expect a break-in period where endurance drops before it comes back.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Schilke 59 in gold plate — a 28.52mm bass trombone mouthpiece for the full-time bass player who needs low register without losing the top.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Full-time bass trombonists playing orchestral or big band books
- Players who need a solid pedal register and a working upper range
- Anyone whose current bass piece thins out below the staff
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Tenor trombonists — this diameter will not transfer
- Players in small-shank tenor horns; this is large shank only
- Doublers who want one piece for tenor and bass — the 58 sits closer to that job
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
A large throat that moves a lot of air. Rewards a strong air stream and can feel unresponsive to a weaker one.
Detail 03
Large shank
Fits large-bore tenor and bass trombone receivers. It will not seat in a small or medium shank horn.
Detail 04
Gold plating
Softer, warmer feel on the lip than silver. Some players find it grips slightly more. An option if silver irritates your skin.
Detail 05
Standard Series
Schilke's baseline blank and rim contour rather than a signature or custom cut. Numbering runs 44 through 60 by diameter.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — no horn, no case, no pouch
- 02Check your receiver: large shank only, will not fit medium bore
- 03Plating wears at the rim over years; it is not a lifetime finish
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will the 59 fit my tenor trombone?
Only if it is a large-shank tenor, and even then the 28.52mm diameter is a bass size. Tenor players should look at the 47 through 51 range.
02What is the difference between the 59 and the 58?
The 58 is 27.68mm and is aimed at players who double tenor and bass. The 59 is nearly a millimeter wider and built for full-time bass playing.
03Is gold plating worth it over silver?
It is a feel and skin question, not a tone question. Gold is smoother and warmer on the lip and is the usual answer for players with silver sensitivity.
04Is this too much mouthpiece for a student?
Yes. The wide diameter and 19/64 throat demand developed air and embouchure. A student on bass trombone is better served lower in the range.
