The mouthpieces in this category are divided primarily by shank size. Models ending in S use a Small Shank, while models ending in L use a Large Shank.
The shank determines compatibility with the instrument, while the size and profile of the mouthpiece determine its intended application. See the most common uses below.

Entre os modelos Large Shank, os 3L e 4L estão entre as opções mais utilizadas em Euphonium, oferecendo uma combinação adequada de volume de copo, resposta e corpo sonoro.
Os modelos 1L, 1.5 AML e 2L possuem medidas e volumes de copo maiores e são frequentemente utilizados em Bass Trombone.

As indicações de Tenor Trombone, Bass Trombone ou Euphonium representam a utilização mais comum de cada medida. O encaixe do instrumento é o fator que determina a compatibilidade física: Small Shank para calibre fino e Large Shank para calibre largo. Dentro de um mesmo calibre, diferentes medidas podem ser utilizadas de acordo com a sonoridade, resposta, conforto e preferência do músico.
Some trombones may use different shank sizes even when the instruments are similar, depending on the model, manufacturer, or year of manufacture. For players who use more than one instrument, Padovani Music also offers an adapter for using a Small Shank mouthpiece on a Large Shank trombone.
