This is the signature model of Marshall Jirks, a member of the Slide Monsters, a unit of the world's best trombonists. 6-1/2 in size, it is highly versatile and can be used by lead players in big bands, brass bands, orchestras, and soloists in a wide range of situations.
It has a slightly smaller rim diameter than the 48 and is highly durable. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, from brass bands to orchestras, and has a rich sound.
The Artisan mouthpiece was born from the success of the Artisan trumpet, which was developed based on a design from the 1920s. The shape, tone, and response are reminiscent of early Bach mouthpieces, while the trombone mouthpieces are based on models from the 1940s and 1950s, faithfully recreating the characteristics of those early models.
