SB series: Smaller
Bass trombone rim sizes
also useful for doubling on Tenor Trombone or Euphonium
Rims:
SB 106 similar to Bach 2G, Wick 2NAL (26.9 mm)
SB 108 similar to Bach 1½G, Schilke 58 (27.4mm)
SB 110 a little smaller than Bach 1¼G, (27.9 mm)
Finishes available: S-silver, G-gold, L-Lexan (polycarbonate plastic)
Rim contours available: Standard (narrow), and Wide (tenor rim shape)
Cups:
SB C medium-shallow, for doubling on small bore trombones
SB E medium, for tenor doubling, about the depth of a Bach 6½AL
SB G medium-deep, best for doubling on large bore tenor or euphonium
SB I shallower than Bach 1½G, for bright bass sound or tenor double
SB J similar to Bach 1½G or Schilke 58, most popular in the SB series
SB K similar to Schilke 59, Bach 1¼G, a deep cup for these rim sizes.
Small shanks: (for small tenors, altos, and
small shank euphoniums)
alto S - backbore for most Eb alto trombones, slightly smaller taper than tenor to go in farther
alto - backbore for Eb alto trombones with normal tenor taper
2 - backbore for .485 to .500 bore trombones
3 - backbore for .508 to .510 bore trombones
4 - backbore for .525 bore small shank trombones, and euphonium
Medium euphonium shanks: (for some Besson,
Willson, and others)
6E - for all medium-shank euphoniums, E taper fits medium-shank Bessons and Willsons; others on request
Large shanks: (for large shank trombones and
euphoniums)
8 - standard large shank backbore, best design for most trombones and euphoniums
9 - larger backbore, especially for dual-bore large shank trombones
Notes for ordering shanks: The letter
on the shank must match the letter on the cup: for example, a standard large shank for a J
cup is a J8. All shanks should fit into the receiver 1". Large (bass) shanks:
Bach, new Conn, Edwards, Holton, Shires, and Yamaha tenor and bass
trombones, and all large shank euphoniums, use the standard large shank. Older Conn
and Blessing large tenor and bass trombones require a different taper - specify
Conn shank for proper fit. King duo gravis, 7B, 8B, and Benge 290 can use
standard, but sometimes need a specially tapered “K” shank for a better
fit.
