S.E. Shires trombone mouthpiece, model SL-48. Precision-measured. 25.20mm rim, medium cup, 6.60mm throat. Verified against seshires.com specification tables. Use these measurements as a comparison starting point: fit and response still depend on the player, dental structure, instrument receiver, and each manufacturer's measuring method.
