[Trombone-l] Small shank 5G's

[Lisa & Patrick Bates]

I have a large shank 5GS, my understanding of that difference is that the
5GS is shallower than the 5G.
Just to throw a monkeywrench in, I've also got a small shank 5GB

> Unless I am mistaken, and I have been once before (smile), the small shank
version of the 5G is a 5GS just as the large shank version of the 6.5A is a
6.5AL.  However, I am old and get confused rather easily.  The bottom line
is that Bach manufactures the mouthpiece in a small shank configuration and
it is readily available.
