Laskey Protégé Trombone Mouthpiece, 6.5, Small 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 6.5 is the small shank version, sized for the small- and medium-bore tenor trombones most students play, and it pairs the familiar feel of a 6 1/2 AL with the freer-blowing character Laskey builds into its trombone pieces. The rim is wide enough not to be a distraction over a long rehearsal, whether the part is concert band or big band. The shank has to match the instrument's receiver, so confirm whether the horn takes a small or large shank before ordering. Silver-plated, an appearance and wear choice rather than a tonal one.
