Large and Small Shanks

Our most popular standard Wedge trombone models currently available for tenor and bass trombone are shown in the comparison chart at the link below.
We offer mouthpieces with the usual Small shank and / or Large shank, depending on the mouthpiece size.

Remington Shanks

Remington shank mouthpieces are available for tenor sizes 100AL, 101GS, 101G 103G, and 104G.
The Remington shank is a large shank with slightly slower Brown and Sharp taper compared to the regular Morse taper.
It is used in certain (mostly vintage) tenor and bass trombones with a Remington receiver. Examples of these horns include Elkhart Conn 8H, 88H, 60H, 62H, 70H-73H, and others.
The modern 88H accepts a regular Morse taper mouthpiece.
A Morse taper mouthpiece will not seat properly in a Remington receiver, and notes will not slot or speak as well as they would with a Remington shank mouthpiece.
A Remington shank will not insert far enough into a regular receiver, and will wobble because the tip is larger than a regular large shank mouthpiece.

Medium European Shanks

Medium European shanks for available for trombone sizes 100AL, 101G, 103G, 104G, and for all euphonium sizes.
Some bass trombones, for example some vintage King models, have an extra deep receiver.
If your mouthpiece inserts more than 1.25 inches (31 mm) into your leadpipe be sure to select the BT Deep Receiver option when ordering bass trombone mouthpieces.
