Laskey Protégé Trombone Mouthpiece - Small Shank

The Laskey Protégé Trombone Mouthpiece is expertly developed to support developing trombonists with a comfortable feel, balanced response, and a full, colorful sound. Created in collaboration with leading performers and educators, the Protégé series draws directly from the acclaimed Laskey Classic Series Trombone Mouthpieces, featuring the same iconic rim and cup shape refined for student and advancing players.

Every design element—cup, throat, and backbore—has been meticulously balanced to promote efficient airflow, reliable articulation, and a robust tonal core. This thoughtful design allows students to focus on musical expression rather than fighting an uncomfortable or restrictive mouthpiece. Crafted from 360 free‑machining brass, the Protégé Trombone Mouthpiece features a distinctive two‑tone buffed finish, with a polished rim for comfort and flexibility and a satin‑finished body for a secure, confident feel. A triple‑strike plating process of copper, silver, and bright silver ensures durability, consistency, and a professional appearance.

Protégé 6.5 (Small Shank)

The Protégé 6.5 model combines the familiar agility of a 6½ AL‑style rim with the free‑blowing characteristics Laskey trombone mouthpieces are known for. Designed for small‑ and medium‑bore tenor trombones, this mouthpiece offers excellent flexibility and projection, making it well suited for concert band, jazz band, and big band settings. Its comfortable rim profile helps reduce fatigue and encourages proper embouchure development, giving students the opportunity to get the most out of their instrument.
