Trombone leadpipes control how much air you can push through, as well as the color of tone and characteristics of articulation.

Fine-tune your sound with a new leadpipe in yellow brass, gold brass, nickel silver, or sterling silver.

Note: Customers who buy a full Shires trombone will receive their choice of either three brass leadpipes or one sterling silver leadpipe with their purchase and do not need to buy them separately.

2 - 2.5: Medium venturi diameter-more open sound

3: Largest venturi diameter-large, broad sound

S: shorter version of any pipe for more open feel
