Yamaha SL-SULLIVAN-L Peter Sullivan Signature Trombone Mouthpiece - Orchestral Professional | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls
The Yamaha Peter Sullivan Signature trombone mouthpiece delivers rich, powerful orchestral sound with exceptional dynamic control through its collaboration between renowned Canadian trombonist Peter Sullivan and Yamaha's R&D department. This professional signature mouthpiece features a 25.42mm rim diameter and semi-deep cup that enables comfortable fortissimo projection while maintaining excellent control for delicate passages, making it the preferred choice of orchestral trombonists seeking superior versatility and performance reliability.
Product Overview
Developed in collaboration with Peter Sullivan, one of North America's leading trombone players and former first chair of both the Montreal Symphony Orchestra and Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, this signature mouthpiece incorporates decades of elite orchestral performance experience. The carefully engineered specifications reflect Sullivan's expertise gained through his distinguished career performing with major symphonies and orchestras across Montreal, Pittsburgh, and Toronto.
The mouthpiece features a relatively large cup and rim with standard rim contour that creates optimal balance between power and control.
