Reggie Young Signature Trombone Mouthpiece – Funk, Fire & Timeless Groove!
Inner Rim Diameter: .954" | Cup Depth: Medium Funnel Shape |

This is the mouthpiece that channels the soul of Earth, Wind & Fire's legendary horn section — and it's been a reality since Reggie Young himself stepped up to make it happen. Reggie has been the trombonist for Earth, Wind & Fire for over 30 years (joining in the late '80s/early '90s era and still holding it down with the current lineup alongside Gary Bias on sax and Bobby Burns Jr. on trumpet), delivering those iconic, funky, soaring trombone lines that define hits like "September," "Boogie Wonderland," and "In the Stone." He also powered the brass section for the first 9 seasons of Dancing with the Stars, bringing big-band precision and soulful flair to live TV every week. Inspired by the original Almont mouthpiece — the mid-20th-century gem that powered Tommy Dorsey's entire trombone section and defined that smooth, singing big-band sound — the Reggie Young Signature brings that classic warmth and control into the modern era with Giddings' premium stainless steel mastery. The .954" inner rim offers a secure, focused feel for effortless control across the full range — from buttery lows to brilliant highs. The medium funnel cup delivers rich resonance, quick response, and that signature lyrical glow, while the design ensures easy slotting, crisp articulation, and the versatility to handle funk grooves, jazz standards, big band charts, or orchestral work with total confidence.

Why this mouthpiece sizzles like Reggie’s playing:

  • Timeless tone with modern edge — Warm, centered core like the Dorsey-era Almont, but supercharged with stainless steel efficiency for vibrant projection and endurance
  • Effortless control everywhere — Unique balance lets you own the entire instrument — pedal tones rumble, mid-range sings, and highs sparkle without strain
  • Funk-ready response — Quick attacks, smooth legato, and dynamic flexibility perfect for EWF-style horn punches, Dancing with the Stars precision, or any high-energy gig
  • Premium stainless steel — Hypoallergenic, no replating ever, maximum energy transfer — your buzz turns into pure musical fire

Reggie Young isn't just a player — he's a legend who keeps the groove alive with EWF's timeless energy and showmanship. It was an absolute thrill to collaborate on this one, and we're proud to offer it as a tribute to his incredible career.  The  classic-yet-fresh sound! Step into the spotlight. Feel the funk. Let your trombone shine like Reggie’s.
