Laskey Protégé Trombone Mouthpiece, 5, Large Shank, Silver Plated

The Laskey Protégé trombone mouthpiece carries the rim and cup shape of Laskey's Classic Series in a student piece, with the cup, throat and backbore balanced to give a developing player a full tone without making them work for it. The 5 is the large shank version, for a student starting on or stepping up to a large-bore tenor trombone; the feel is close to a traditional 5G, and the mid-deep cup gives room to develop tone and range without running out of support. The shank has to match the instrument's receiver, so confirm whether the horn takes a large or small shank before ordering. Silver-plated, which is a matter of appearance and how the metal wears rather than of sound.
