Schilke Symphony Series Trombone Mouthpieces

Based on our standard trombone mouthpiece models, the Symphony Series models have modified rim contours, cup shapes, throats and backbores creating a responsive balance in resistance and blowing freedom along with attack clarity that will appeal to the contemporary trombonist. Schilke Symphony Series mouthpieces continue a tradition in outstanding Schilke workmanship combining old world craftsmanship with the demands of the modern brass player. Model Throat Description shank M5.1 K (.281") A Medium Shallow Cup that provides more brilliance, and projection due to additional high overtones in the sound core. L D5.1 K (.281") A Standard cup shape that provides a deeper bottom to the sound core and excellent articulation clarity. Resistance variables are ideal for a principal player. L D5.1* K (.281") For a more open feel with additional depth to the sound and greater flexibility, the Standard Cup with tapered throat provides slightly less resistance than the "D" model. L M5.2 K (.281") A Medium Shallow Cup that provides more brilliance with a larger rim diameter than the 5.1 models. L D5.2 K (.281") A Standard cup shape that provides a deeper bottom to the sound core. L D5.2* K (.281") Standard Cup with tapered throat. More open than D5.2 L M5.3 K (.281") A Medium Shallow Cup that provides more brilliance with a larger rim diameter than the 5.2 models. L D5.3 K (.281") A Standard cup shape that provides a deeper bottom to the sound core. L D5.3* K (.281") Standard Cup with tapered throat. More open than D5.3 L M6.0 O (.316") This medium deep cup is similar to a standard 59 model yet maintains the rim diameter of a 60. It includes a large Schmidt backbore and more open "O" throat. It is an efficient, even playing mouthpiece that provides brilliance for maximum projection when desired. B D6.0 O (.316") Slightly more open feel than a standard Schilke 60 while maintaining the same rim diameter. It includes a large Schmidt backbore and more open "O" throat. Maintaining efficiency, this extra large bowl provides more depth to the sound core with clarity and consistency at all dynamic levels. B
