Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Small-shank trombone mouthpiece with a .984-inch cup. The all-around size in this line — even response and solid intonation, from advancing student to professional.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small and medium bore tenor players wanting one mouthpiece for everything
- Students moving up from a beginner 45 or 46
- Section players who need dependable intonation across the whole range
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Large bore tenors and bass trombone — this is a small shank
- Lead specialists; the 43A is cut for an easy high register
- Symphonic players after maximum depth; the 51D and 52D go deeper
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
Small shank
Seats in small and medium bore tenor slides only. It will not fit a large-shank receiver.
Detail 03
15/64 throat
The standard bore across most of this line — moderate resistance, neither free-blowing nor tight.
Detail 04
Standard rim (vs. the 47C4)
The 47C4 is the same cup with a wider semi-flat rim. This one trades cushion for a more direct feel and flexibility.
Detail 05
Silver plating
Firm, slick surface, harder than gold, and it shows rim wear after years of steady playing.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your slide receiver is small shank before ordering
- 02Ships as the mouthpiece alone — no pouch or cap
- 03Coming off a 45 or 46, expect a short adjustment to the wider cup
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will the 47 fit a large bore trombone?
No. Large bore tenors take a large shank. This is a small-shank mouthpiece and won't seat correctly in that receiver.
02Is the 47 good for beginners?
It works for students and professionals alike. Absolute beginners often start on the 45 or 46, which are slightly smaller and easier to control at first.
0347 or 47B for jazz playing?
The 47B uses a contour profile and a C throat for quicker response and a more resonant high register. The 47 is the more general-purpose choice.
04Can I use the 47 on euphonium?
It's a trombone size. For euphonium, the deeper 51D and 52D are the ones cut for that horn, with the 46D suiting younger players.
