Warburton Music Products

The WARBURTON system facilitates the brass player's choosing of a mouthpiece with the optimum combination of rim diameter, cup style and depth, and backbore. This unique ability allows a player to fit together a mouthpiece that will best balance sound and resistance with his own instrument. The choices available with the WARBURTON system will afford one the most efficient mouthpiece with which to perform in any given playing situation.

The system consists of interchangeable "TOP" sections and "BACKBORE" sections. The various cup designs have been chosen for their ability to produce any sound desired by the player. The different cup depths within one diameter allow the player to easily change mouthpieces to perform in a different context. The backbore designs complement the cup shapes and further assist in the "fine-tuning" of the sound.

The WARBURTON system allows the player the opportunity to personally "balance" his equipment, a process that heretofore was not within grasp!

TOPS
S	A shallow "bowl" shape. The WARBURTON S cups are the shallowest pieces on the market. For unusual upper register demands or the ALTO trombone, these models perform well.
M	These are medium depth with a modified "V" contour. The M cup is preferred by players doing LEAD work in big bands.
D	These deep cups produce a very full sound and are our most popular models.
ST	The "SYMPHONY-TENOR" models are exactly that. The large cup volume produces the ultimate in sound to fill the largest auditorium. These cups should be used with the ST model backbores.
B	All of the B cups are very deep models that are intended for use with the BASS trombone. Combined with the B series of backbores, these models will excel in the low register.

BACKBORES
T	Bore .250". The T series is the standard for Tenor trombone. They are numbered from 1 to 6, with 1 being the smallest and 6 the largest.
T*	Bore .250". The T* (STAR) series is the same as the T series except that there is no cylindrical section. The T* models are somewhat more free blowing than the standard models.
ST	Bore .266". There are 3 models for the ST backbores. They are numbered from 1 to 3, with 1 being the smallest. It is worth noting that these models were designed for the large tenor; it is not just a tenor backbore with a large shank.
B	Bore .281". The three B backbores fully complement the Bass cups in proving a full sound that is rich in harmonic overtones. Number 1 is the smallest and 3 the largest.
NOTE - ST and B backbores are also available to fit Conn and Boosey & Hawkes trombones.

Warburton One-piece Trombone Mouthpieces

We are pleased to announce that due to so many people wanting a high quality one-piece trombone mouthpiece in sizes that they are familiar with, we have designed a complete line of one- piece trombone mouthpieces. While the numbering system is familiar, (using Bach nomenclature), each model has been designed to eliminate problems that have come to light over the years. We have made the rims more comfortable, the throat sizes are balanced to the cups. The backbores are maximized for tone production and projection.

Introduced to the Warburton 5G "L" (.290" bore) at the Euphonium/Tuba conference at Ft. Myer, VA in Jan 2003, Air Force Master Sgt. William Jones has been playing it ever since. A prominent Washington DC performer and educator, Jones has been featured as a soloist and clinician throughout the country. His former teachers include retired Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Dr. Brian Bowman, Murray Crewe, Roger Hanson and Barry Morrison. Sgt. Jones is a Willson artist, so he chose the "E" (Euro) shank.
