I really love the feel of my Schilke 51D on my small-bore tenor. I will be switching to a large bore soon and I was wondering what a comparable mouthpiece with a large bore shank would be. Thank you for the videos!
The 51D is available in large shank as well; mouthpieces sizes in the Bach 5-6 range typically cross over between small and large shank. I will say that for my taste the 51D can be a bit deep for some large bore tenor setups; do you know what you are moving to for a large bore tenor? Depending on the horn a Schilke 51 might also be a good fit; it has a shallower cup then the 51D that may provide a bit more of the compression and feedback needed but still retain the same rim feel...
I've been using the 51D since like 7th grade, so forever. 😅 I like it's feel for lower notes but some of the higher stuff is a bit harder to get feeling and sounding really good from the deep cup. my horn is a medium bore (.525) trombone. good stuff. hope I can get a large bore one day.
Rather than choosing a mouthpiece, perhaps it's better to choose a mouthpiece diameter, then acquire variations, such as the ones offered by Denis Wick. He offers variations on the cup depth, throat, and backbore for a particular diameter, which allow you to move from second to first part on a mpc with a tighter throat/backbore with the same diameter.
If one could go half way between the 5g and the Allessi, it would be about right. The perfect mouthpiece does not exist. A good test would be how well it works in the ensembles you most like to play with. Thanks for your honest trial and opinions.
It depends on your development as a player, your trombone, the group you're in, and the part you play. Denis Wick offers mouthpieces of one diameter with different throats and backbores for when you change parts.
So what do you think of the denis wick series of mouthpieces? I just ordered a Denis Wick 4AL, trying to find something that might help me pin down articulation and make the higher range more smoothe. My main mouthpiece is a shilke 51d. Also I play euphonium
This is really helpful. Mouthpieces are this black art where sizing is inconsistent with model numbers, and rim shapes aren't represented anywhere.

@@davidbucher4095 that is spot on. More openness from mouthpiece makers is welcome. I do think rim size and inner bite affect my playing the most.

What are you playing for a mouthpiece right now and what are you playing on for a horn?
Schmitt Music Trombone Shop yes

Did you try the wick before you purchased? I find with the wicks the flat rims my attacks are pretty bad
@@hudsonpedrotti7278 I ended up returning it can't recall the exact reason but I didn't really like it
You should do a comparison of Bach artisan and regular mouthpieces. Like an artisan 5G and a regular 5g
YOU guys need to watch a TH-cam video on how to choose a microphone and speak loud enough for ppl to hear. Redo this video-please.
We’ve done some upgrading since that video (and have more upgrades coming!)
Terrible audio... Sorry mate.
Fair enough! We didn’t have the setup we do now (hopefully our audio has improved a little bit :-) )
you can literally use the caption(not trying to be rude)
