M Cup | Medium
A medium depth cup that spans both small bore and large bore models, the M is closer in feel to the 6-1/2AL, making it a standard for those who prefer a great feeling and playing all-around mouthpiece.
MD Cup | Medium-Deep
Similar in feel to a 5G, the Laskey MD represents a medium-deep cup that is a significant upgrade from the standard G cups of the past. Emerging from a strong low range through to the high register, the MD provides an optimal balance and resistance for a wide range of genres and styles.
D Cup | Deep
Deep, but not as deep as the 51D, the Laskey D Cup is unlike any other you've experienced on a symphony (large) shank mouthpiece. This relatively deep cup gives players a rich, textured tone that feels at home in the principal or second chair. Sometimes, more is more.

Excellent product. I’ve used it in the orchestra both as first and second trombone, and I have to say the result is incredible.
It stands out with a beautiful sound, and the ease it offers in every register is amazing.
I find this mouthpiece quite pleasant to play on. The gold finish provides comfort for long rehearsals and the cup depth allows for projection and clarity. It is a perfect combination with my Shires and I would recommend this to anyone seeking a solid professional mouthpiece.
During rehearsals of A. Dvorack's 9th symphony, my music stand partner let me try his old Laskey 59D and I was delighted, so much so that I performed the concert with it.
The next day I placed the order.
I played on my Laskey 57MD for the first time today. Moving from a Bach 61/2 .
My first impression is with the Laskey I hear a broader tone with less strain, cleaner attacks, and comfortable. My pedal notes will need some work but I think it is normal to need some time for pedal tones to come fully when playing on the new set up.
I wanted to start playing on the Laskey with my current horn a Bach 42 BOG until my new S.E. Shires TBRS comes in.
I am very pleased with my new Laskey 57MD mouthpiece.
Thanks for attention to detail and quality.
This is a great mouthpiece! I let a pro player friend listen to me while I tested 3 completely different mouthpieces, including this Laskey 59MD. The first mouthpiece I tried was a different brand that I've been playing on for a few years, but the tone was stuffy. The second one was another brand but is way too big for me (sticking with tenor!) This Laskey is just right and checks all the boxes! Sounds fantastic.
I received a Laskey 90D mouthpiece with the purchase of a new Shires Q36 bass trombone. It is bigger than I am used to but so far I like it and I am looking forward to playing on it.
Molti anni fa avevo provato un 59MD large shank per trombone ma era troppo grande per me. Ricordo però che il peso e la tazza erano davvero spettacolari, così, dopo tanti anni ho deciso di riprovare ma il 57MD...è stato amore a prima vista.
(Da dire però che nel frattempo ho cambiato strumento, prima avevo un conn 88h anni 90, mentre adesso uno yamaha 882 OpenWrap che si adatta benissimo alle caratteristiche del Laskey).
Ho guadagnato tantissimo in brillantezza del suono, facilità di cambiare registro e ho incrementato la gamma dinamica. (Prima suonavo un bocchino 'pesante' con più o meno le stesse misure).
I appreciate having had the opportunity to speak to Laskey who recommended three mouthpieces to try out. If I recall correctly, the 54M, which I ultimately chose, was what they thought would be best after our discussion. I've played the trombone non-professionally since the 4th grade and only began exploring mouthpieces in my 60's! I would encourage all trombonists to experiment with different mouthpieces to find one that works best for them. The 54M may not be for you, as mouthpieces are specific to every player, but it always amazes me that just a few millimeters (or tenths of millimeters) in rim diameter, throat size and cup depth can often make such a difference in the horn's output. High register ability can be somewhat improved, but I think only practice can ultimately result in success in that regard. Thank you, Laskey, for your advice and for the great mouthpiece!
Brilliant combination of sizing and shaping rim, depth, and throat, better tone consistency and stability in both extreme highs and lows compared to my trusty 5G. Backbone happens to make the shank a touch thicker, so it’s less likely to take a dent, too!
I chose the 57MD in an initiative to develop my sound. I always played with the same embouchure. I tried a handful and after two gigs of tryouts, I chose your product. I like the depth given by it, while enhancing my dynamics and my tone's strength. It was exactly what I was searching for. I look forward to appreciate the changes lived trough my instrument on the long term
Loved the feel and responsiveness of this mouthpiece from the first moment I tried it! Core sound is rich and full. Articualtion takes minimal effort. Couldn’t be happier.
I started my Laskey trombone mouthpiece experience with the 57MD, but it was much too shallow for me to get the sounds I wanted. It felt and sounded similar to a Bach 5G. I sent the 57MD back and exchanged it for the 57D. I have had the 57D for a few days now, and it is much easier to get the darker orchestral sounds I want, but the upper register is still accessible. I would suggest that players that want a symphonic trombone sound should start with the deep cup instead of the MD.
I first tried out a laskey at Brass Fest up in Vancouver, BC, and was waiting until I had my own horn to buy it. Just got my 57D and it's quite nice, I think the notes come through a bit nicer with it.
Top quality manufacturing and wonderful design. The D cups generate good compression but a liquid gold sound while the MD cups give you a little more brilliance in the sound. This is a master tool that allow me to work on the parts of playing with full trust in the equipment.
I have spent a little time with my 59D so far, but I can already tell that it is a great mouthpiece for me. It gives me a very even sound with little resistance, and a cup that is neither too shallow or deep for the playing I need. I'm very glad I bought this mouthpiece, and know it will serve me well for many years.
