Best Answer

Different trombones have different size openings for the mouthpiece. Tenors, especially those without F attachments, generally use small-shank mouthpieces. Large shanks are usually for euphoniums and bass trombones.

Are baritone mouthpieces the same as trombone pieces?

Original Answer: Yes. [Edit] Yes and no. Small bore trombones and euphoniums will not have the same size mouthpieces. The euphonium is a large bore instrument (normally). If you are playing a large bore trombone, then the shank of the mouthpiece will be the same size, but depending on the mouthpiece make, model, etc, may or may not be the same. If you have a Schilke 52D mouthpiece, and you put it in a Euphonium, then a Trombone, then yes the pieces are in fact the same size.

What types of trombone?

If you've every heard a trombone choir or quartet, then you know there are several types of trombone. Originally, and very seldom played anymore except in traditional orchestral groups, the sacbut is a trombone that has no tuning slide, a very small bell, and thin bore. It is quite a finicky instrument to play and has a range comparable to a tenor trombone. As in every other section, there is of course the bass trombone, which is becoming more and more popular. It has been used often in jazz ensembles for its edgy tone and has existed in brass bands and orchestras for years, but has only recently migrated to average level bands. It has a large bell, a wide bore, and often extra attachments that allow it to play even lower (double valve). The tenor trombone can come in a small bore or wider bore model, and its bell is smaller than the bass but bigger than an alto's. It usually has a single trigger valve f attachment. The alto trombone is smaller still, and reads in tenor clef (confusingly enough). The soprano trombone is very rare, and is limited to use in Moravian trombone choirs. It is the very cute size of a trumpet, with a tiny mouthpiece.
