Pickett Bass Trombone Lightweight Cup

Our lightweight models are perfect for players looking for a more nimble and brilliant sound. These are available in the same sizes as the standard weight line.

The bass trombone models include the following rim sizes:

• 1      The largest rim size offered. It is intended for professional players that are use to playing on larger equipment.
• 1.3   A large mouthpiece that provides supportt he support in all registers.
• 1.5   A well-rounded and balanced mouthpiece intended to fill any role.
• 1.6   Very similar feel to the 1.5 but with a slightly smaller rim diameter.
• 1.75 A dense and compact tone while still retaining excellent balance and response.
• 2      The smallest bass trombone rim size offered. Ideal for bass trombonists looking for a more compact sound.  This is a great transition mouthpiece for tenor players that are new to bass trombone.

Each cup requires the respective diameter rim.

Each of these come in three different cup configurations:

• D  Our deepest cup in our stock options, providing a very free-blowing experience.  The extra depth allows for a warmer and richer tone color in the low register, without sacrificing the upper register.
• M  Our medium cup is the most popular model.  It is a middle of the road cup designed to appeal to a broad range of performance genres.
• S  Our shallow cup provides more support in the middle and upper registers, adding some extra brilliance and efficiency.
