This Hammond Design 10L is a professional large-shank tenor trombone mouthpiece developed for orchestral and large-bore playing. It uses Hammond’s 10-size rim with a published inside diameter of approximately 1.030 inches.
The L cup is deeper than Hammond’s standard ML design, carrying the same general cup shape farther into the mouthpiece. Hammond developed this configuration for players seeking greater low-end breadth or principal players wanting additional space in the sound. The large-shank 10L uses a .281-inch throat and Hammond’s open T4 symphonic backbore.
Karl Hammond has designed and handcrafted brass mouthpieces for more than 40 years from his shop in Western Springs, Illinois. Hammond mouthpieces have earned a particularly loyal following among professional orchestral musicians, including players in several major American orchestras.
This silver-plated example is in excellent condition. The rim, cup, exterior and shank are clean and well preserved, with only minimal evidence of previous use. It has been inspected and is ready to play.
