AVAILABLE TROMBONE PRODUCTS

Alto/Tenor Trombone:
Marking
Description
Stem
XS
Very shallow cup and tight throat to facilitate the upper register. The 14XS is for alto players desiring a good solo sound.
Small Only
S
Less shallow than the XS, but still a brighter playing cup. This cup is mated with a tight throat for a lead-type sound. Can also effectively be used on alto
Small Only
M
Medium-depth cup with a V shape. This is an extremely efficient cup with the capability of duel use between section work or possibly lead on small bore, or solo work on large bore.  .257 throat/T2 backbore (small bore), .265 throat /T5 backbore (large)
Small or Large
ML
This is the standard cup within the Hammond Design trombone line. It has aspects of both conical and bowl shapes to help become the all-around choice of most players looking for a focused, yet colorful sound.  .265/T3 small bore, .281/T4 large bore.
Small or Large
L
This cup is deeper than the ML, but with the same shape carried further down in the mouthpiece. For those players needing more low end in their sound or for the principal player needing more "space".  .281/T4
Large Only
XL
Extremely deep cup that is a great euphonium set-up. The 12XL is the 51D comparison players have requested.  .281/T4
Large Only

Bass Trombone:
Marking
Description
Stem
BL
This is a large cup diameter with large cup depth. This is a bowl-shape with a funneled entrance to the throat for a very open feel, but with the control of a shallower cup.  .316/BT
Large Only
BXL
Very deep bowl shape cup but features the funneled entrance to the throat like the BL. This is the big boy! .316/BT
Large Only

* These charts are not based on other manufacturers' numbers, but how the piece would crossover to the corresponding Hammond Design diameter. This is based on the feel and the blowing characteristics of the mouthpiece. This is also based on years of assisting players in this very matter.


​TROMBONE BACKBORE INFORMATION:
Marking
Description
#T1
A tighter backbore for a brighter sound and more resistant feel.
#T2
Like the T1, only with more openness in the midsection. This creates less resistance, therefore more depth. This is the standard on the small stem M cup pieces.
#T3
Same idea as the T2, just carried in farther. A dark backbore in the small stem configuration. Standard on small bore ML.
#T4
This backbore is very open. Standard symphonic set-up for the ML and L cups in large bore.
#T5
This is the most open, and darkest backbore. I use this backbore to balance the large bore M so as not to be too aggressive or edgy.
#BT
​The standard bass backbore. As you would guess, very open, but set-up to balance well with the funneled throats to aid in a consistent and focused feel.
