Review of the Heritage 5AL Trombone mouthpiece

 Revolutionary or retro.....that is the question! The flat-looking rim fills some with horror while the bulbous cup reminds others of a bygone age. The fact is that this combination of traditional and futuristic design promotes a wealth of overtones to produce a unique, beautiful, ringing tone and vivid articulation.
