Small Bore Trombone: Lightweight 1-Piece

For the more traditional player looking for a 1-piece solution, in the Pickett lightweight blank:

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.

Couple with your choice of cup depth and rim profile:

Cup Depths:

• 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.

Rim profiles:

• C  The "C" rim is our classic trombone rim, with a pronounced bite and relatively flat profile.  The classic feel will allow for instant response and crisp articulations.
• R  Our "R" rim features a rounded rim profile with a softer bite.  The rounded rim profile offers a slightly wider feel, with a little more relief entering the cup, allowing for increased flexibility in all registers.

All available in polished silver and polished gold.
