Pickett Small Bore 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 small bore tenor trombone models include:

• 5     Our largest small bore size, this offers excellent core production and balance across all registers.
• 5.5  Similar to the 5, the 5.5 features slightly smaller rim diameter for those looking for the added support.
• 6     Provides a more focused sound and a denser core. 
• 7      Balanced yet compact.  A great all around small bore tenor mouthpiece.
• 9      Immediate response and extremely compact tone, a fantastic alto mouthpiece.
• 11    A well balanced lead piece with a V-shaped cup to give you the zip you need.

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.
