The 12 C has a smaller cup, rim, and narrower bore. It's for beginners or jazz players. The 6.5 AL is larger, deeper and with a bigger bore. It gives a darker sound but requires more skill in the high register. It's used more in Classical Music by intermediate players. Professional symphony players go even bigger, to the 5 GS or a comparable mouthpiece (I use a Schilke 51).

Help you play trombone and to go higher namely first F above staff you puff your cheeks how do you get rid of this and still hit the note without cracking?

if your trying to get high on a trombone, then u must push trombone mouth piece close to your mouth and curl your lip slightly.


Does the trombone use a mouth piece?

Umm... Yes. Most common size in the 12c, however more advanced players use larger deeper mouthpiece to get a better sound/tone


how is the trombone different from the other bass instruments?

The trombone is the only instrument in the brass section with no keys or valves. It only has a slide.


Which brass instrument other than the trombone was once made with a slide?

There is no other instrument other than the trombone with a slide. There are variations of the trombone though. For example, there is a trombone made with a slide and valves. There are also different types of trombones. There is the bass trombone, tenor trombone, alto trombone, soprano trombone (slide trumpet), and piccolo trombone. (Please note that the soprano trombone, or slide trumpet, does not have valves. It is also called a slide trumpet because it has the same exact range, sounds like a trumpet, and uses a trumpet mouth piece.) There has also been plastic, wooden, and metal trombones made. I hope that this helped!


Can you play a trombone without the mouth piece?

No, you cannot effectively play a trombone without the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece is essential for producing sound, as it helps create the necessary vibration of the player's lips. Without it, you would be unable to generate the proper airflow and resonance needed to play the instrument.

What is the different slide trombone valve trombone?

A lot. Although they look similar they are played differently. The main difference is the mechanism used to create the notes/pitches. The valve trombone is basically a baritone horn in the shape of a trombone. It uses a combination of 3 valves like a trumpet to generate the different pitches by the vibration of the player's lips in the mouth piece and the combination of valves pressed down. A slide trombone uses a slide to change the wave length of the ptich combined with the vibration of the player's lips in the mouthpiece. Notes or pitches rely upon sound waves. To change pitch you change the length of the sound wave. The valve trombone uses valves to chnages the course of the air producing the sound wave to lengthen it or shorten it. The slide trombone does this by moving the slide up or down.
