Product Overview
The 106G has a cup depth similar to the B1.5G, 2G, and S58. The inner diameter feels closest to the Schilke 58.
This is the smallest mouthpiece in the Wedge bass tromone line. The 106G is an excellent choice for a young player starting out on bass trombone, or a tenor player who occasionally doubles and wants a smaller bass trombone mouthpiece.
- Inner diameter: 1.06 inches
- Throat: .280 inches
Material - These mouthpieces are only available in Delrin plastic. Here are some of its characteristics:
- Delrin:
- Feels softer on the chops because it has more give than metal. This is a great advantage for players with braces.
- Not as slippery as silver, giving more grip.
- Added grip makes Delrin mouthpieces feel smaller than their metal counterparts with the same size designation.
- Not as smooth as metal, so some players may feel slight chop irritation for the first day or two while they adjust.
- More comfortable to play in cold weather because they feel warm on the chops.
- Plastic mouthpieces are more responsive than brass, making soft entries more secure.
- Articulation less crisp with less point at the front of the note compared to brass.
- Darker sound than brass.
- Less core in the sound compared to brass.
