Sonny Ausman Signature Tenor Trombone Mouthpiece – The Legendary LA Sound, Immortalized in Stainless Steel.

The iconic Los Angeles brass sound — warm, pure, singing, and instantly recognizable — has defined generations of orchestral and studio trombone playing. Now, that timeless voice lives forever in stainless steel through the Sonny Ausman Signature. Crafted with reverence from Giddings' premium, ultra-hard surgical-grade stainless steel (faster-responding, and built to endure far beyond silver-plated brass), this mouthpiece honors Sonny's lifelong pursuit of perfection by delivering everything his beloved Bach NY 5G gave him... and more. Sonny personally asked us to create a mouthpiece that preserved the sweet, even tone he cherished across the entire register, while adding snappier response, greater projection, and the effortless clarity only stainless can provide. The result is a true classic reborn: a pure, centered sound that blooms beautifully from pedal to high register, with lightning articulation, secure slotting, and abundant tonal richness that fills any hall or studio without ever sounding forced or harsh. Though Sonny is no longer with us, his voice in the brass world continues to resonate through every player who chooses this mouthpiece — a living tribute to his artistry, warmth, and dedication to the purest possible sound.
