NEW! Unity TS Mouthpieces for Small-Bore Trombone

ANNOUNCING UNITY TS6 AND TS11 TROMBONE MOUTHPIECES!

 

We are thrilled to announce these new trombone mouthpieces that have the same improvements that our clients have enjoyed with Unity trumpet mouthpieces for almost two years:

 

  • The sound, feel and intonation from the extreme low register to the extreme high register is more even than ever before.

 

  • Compared to earlier models, these Unity designs are more consistent in resistance, response, and clarity through the full dynamic range—which makes extreme softs and extreme louds easier.

 

  • Cleaner articulation, more brilliance and overtones, with better projection than ever! 

 

  • The sound is more resonant, with easier high notes and fatter low notes.

 

  • Bigger sweet spots in all registers for more effortless flexibility—with both more focus and a wider range of shapes and timbres.

 

  • Whether you are a student or a professional, these mouthpieces work great in any musical situation where you play a small-shank trombone. 

 

  • More music with less effort!

 

We started developement work on Unity TS6 and TS11 mouthpieces in the summer of 2022 with shop visits by our long-time clients and friends Jim Pugh and Reggie Watkins. Since then, we’ve been refining the subtle design details of these new mouthpieces—as we do with all Monette equipment—until they are better in every way than our previous models. The mouthpiece body proportions, cup and backbore details, exact shank size, and of course the pitch center, have been crafted to provide the same balanced acoustic and musical advantages as our popular Unity trumpet and flugelhorn mouthpieces. 

 

Here are testimonials from players who have extensively field-tested these new mouthpieces in a variety of performance situations:

“I absolutely love the new Unity TS11 mouthpiece! The slots on the notes are both focused and large, allowing me to access even more openness and warmth—a surprising breakthrough on my small bore trombone.”

“Playing my first gig with this mouthpiece was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. The ease in which I can move between low, mid, and high range is even better than my previous Monette mouthpiece. I’m doing probably 20% less work than I normally would do to achieve the same volume, and intonation is easier than ever. The tone is more focused, with more ringing overtones. This is the best mouthpiece I’ve ever played… it’s so easy—just fun to play!”

  • Monette mouthpieces are made-to-order and usually will not be available as ready-made stock. Trombone mouthpieces usually can only be made a few times per year and are likely to involve a significantly longer wait time than a trumpet mouthpiece. The exact wait time is unpredictable, as it is affected by many variables. The standard estimated wait to have a trombone mouthpiece made is approximately 6 months. We cannot guarantee a completion date or shipping date in advance. Thank you very much for your patience while you are waiting.
