Sasha Romero Signature Tenor Trombone Mouthpiece

The Long Island Brass Company Romero model is a trombone mouthpiece that delivers it all. As Principal Trombonist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and a successful soloist, composer, and chamber musician, Sasha Romero needs equipment that can withstand the loudest Strauss tone poem on stage and the most delicate Mozart chorus in the pit. The Romero Signature models do just that.

Specifications

525SR

• 25.25mm/0.994” ID Rim: Slightly smaller than a 6 1/2AL, this mouthpiece is designed to help you crush high repertoire without sacrificing power or vibrancy of sound.
• 6.73mm/0.265” Throat
• From Sasha: “It’s a more agile mouthpiece with very easy flexibility and articulation, and the sound is surprisingly big for the specs, so you get more compactness but without losing a characteristic orchestral sound. Also, it makes the high notes easier lol, and I can project quite a bit more on this compared to my 4 that I play on normally. The low notes are still there though, and I can easily hit pedal Ds and Cs on it.”
• Sasha plays and recommends the T1 backbore on this model.

Backbore Designs
