S.E. Shires small-bore trombone mouthpieces offer five distinct rim and cup combinations for small-shank instruments. Choose from compact, shallow designs for lead playing through larger, medium-depth options for a broader sound.

Model guide

  • 12C: A shallow C-shaped cup and compact diameter for a crisp, brilliant response in jazz and lead playing.
  • 11C: A larger inner diameter than the 12C, with a medium-shallow V-C cup for versatile jazz and commercial use.
  • 7C: A medium-shallow C-shaped cup for players who prefer a bowl-shaped feel.
  • 6½ALS: The small-shank 6½AL, with a medium-depth V-C cup for general-purpose playing.
  • 5GSS: The small-shank 5GS, with the largest inner diameter in this selection and a medium-depth V-C cup for a broader sound.

Measurements

The dimensions below follow the S.E. Shires small-shank mouthpiece chart. Inner diameters are measured at a depth of 0.065", as specified by Shires, so comparisons with other brands should account for their measurement methods.

Model Inner diameter at 0.065" Throat Cup depth / shape
12C 0.960" (24.38 mm) 0.233" (5.92 mm) Shallow / C
11C 0.990" (25.15 mm) 0.232" (5.89 mm) Medium-shallow / V-C

All models on this page have a small shank and a polished silver-plated finish. The 5GSS and 6½ALS names distinguish these small-shank versions from the large-shank models sold separately.
