Warburton Trombone Mouthpiece Tops
Our Two Piece Trombone Mouthpieces are based on the Warburton System known to trumpet players - utilizing a separate Top and Backbore Section - allowing the player to customize their equipment to best fit the playing context and personal preference.
To ensure compatibility between models, all standard Tenor cups and backbores have a bore size of 0.250". The ST series has a bore of 0.266, and the B series has a bore of 0.281". Different bore sizes are available upon request, but are treated as custom work and thus non-refundable.

CUP SHAPES | |
S |
A shallow "bowl" shape. The WARBURTON S cups are the shallowest pieces on the market. For unusual upper register demands or the ALTO trombone, these models perform well. |
---|---|
M |
These are medium depth with a modified "V" contour. The M cup is preferred by players doing LEAD work in big bands. |
D |
These deep cups produce a very full sound and are our most popular models. |
ST |
The "SYMPHONY-TENOR" models are exactly that. The large cup volume produces the ultimate in sound to fill the largest auditorium. These cups should be used with the ST model backbores. |
B |
All of the B cups are very deep models that are intended for use with the BASS trombone. Combined with the B series of backbores, these models will excel in the low register. |
