Equipment

Several students ask me about the equipment I use. I believe equipment is a highly personal choice based on your anatomy/physiology, experience, and performance needs – so the items on the list below are not necessarily recommendations, but simply an answer to the question, “What equipment do you play?”

Trombones

Tenor

Bass

  • Bach “Corporation” 50 – Brasslab (Chuck McAlexander) conversion with O.E. Thayer valves.
  • King 7B

Alto

  • Yamaha YSL-871

Euphonium

  • Besson BE765

Mouthpieces

I use various Greg Black mouthpieces on all of my instruments.

Accessories

To see some of the accessories that I recommend for trombonists, check out my blog posts or the Practice Aids page.
