But the shanks will be too large for your Olds trombones (which have "undersized" receivers), so may be out of tune / not slot well compared to Olds mouthpieces, which have the "proper" shank. If you like a larger mouthpiece, you may want to search out an Olds 1 - it's about the same size as the DW 12CS (even larger throat), slightly different cup shape, but will fit the Olds trombone receivers perfectly. Or use the DW 12CS on the BAC LA Jazz horn.

Right out of the box I was able to sustain a solid high E for the first time since I began playing in 1972.
Pedals are also solid.
What witchcraft is this?

Good for you.
Using the BAC?

Where to you get to play them?
I've seen a few high Fs, but very few Es written.
As a practical matter, I bail out after D these days!
