Bach Small Shank Tenor Trombone Mouthpiece
The Bach small shank tenor trombone mouthpiece is among the most popular and reliable in the world. Alto bones (Bach 39) and small bore tenors (.480"-.508" bore like the Bach 6, 8, 12, 16 - lots of jazz and commercials horns in this range) use a small shank mouthpiece. Also using a small shank mouthpiece are medium bore (.525" like a Bach 36) horns. These are common in jazz work, theater work, concert band, brass quintet or even lighter orchestral stuff. A medium bore horn can almost do it all except for true bass trombone parts. If your ax takes a small shank piece, you can't go wrong with this one.

"Great Starter Mouthpiece!!"

This mouthpiece should be the starting point in any young Trombone/Baritone/Euphonium players career. I started out on one of these (Bach 5GB) and it got me to the first band in Middle school and kept me there the next year. Once a student starts getting better and goes into High School he should find a new one to use that's more specific to his tone preference, exp (Schilke, Denis Wick...etc). Good luck and happy playing.
