Trombone Mouthpieces – Series 2
We are hard at work designing our next release of the Bob Reeves – Brass Ark trombone mouthpiece line. Our second release will include our first two small bore tenor trombone mouthpieces.
Here is a little sneak peak of some of the analysis that goes on behind-the-scenes here at the shop. Studying and understanding the acoustics behind the instrument and the mouthpiece only paints part of the picture. Each model represents hundreds of hours of analysis and interacting with players to find out what makes a particular mouthpiece “magical.”

Trombone Mouthpiece Sleeves
Want to change shanks on your #trombone mouthpiece? No problem. Switch between large bore and Remington. pic.twitter.com/UZnwqlwDzI

We are excited to bring a new product to the trombone world in the next few weeks. With the Reeves Trombone Sleeves you can control the penetration of your mouthpiece in your trombone. For large bore trombones you can go back and forth between the standard large bore shank and the Remington shank just by switching sleeves. There is no need to get a separate mouthpiece.
All Bob Reeves – Brass Ark trombone mouthpieces can be ordered ready to accept the sleeves, or, we can convert your mouthpiece.

Shop Visitor – Mark Lawrence
We haven’t had a chance to update our blog in a few weeks, mostly due to the fact that we’ve had mouthpieces to make and valve alignments to do!
It was great to see our long time customer, Mark Lawrence, swing by the shop for some mouthpiece work. Mark, if you don’t know, is a fabulous trombone player, having played principal in the San Francisco Symphony for many years. He also teaches trombone at the Colburn Conservatory of Music here in L.A. It was great to see you Mark!
Many may not know that we can do custom work such as threading and alterations. If you are interested in this kind of work give us call or email!
