The Swisstbone Shop

SWISSTBONE IS YOUR SPECIALIST FOR TROMBONE MOUTHPIECES!

SWISSTBONE brings you a great selection of high end trombone mouthpieces! All mouthpieces can be tried out according to the trial policy.

The selection is still growing. So far I am extremely happy to be a dealer for Greg Black, Laskey and Symington Mouthpieces. New brands will be added as business permits. The aim is to bring you a really good selection with a great trial policy.

In stock mouthpieces will be shipped out within 48 hours. The stock numbers are updated in real time, so all those mouthpieces should be shipped pretty fast.

If you are unsure which mouthpiece fits you, don’t hesitate to shoot me an email! I am not a mouthpiece guru, but I know my selection pretty well and can give you my impressions on all those mouthpieces.

Since end of 2022 my offering includes Butler trombone mutes as part of my growing selection. I take pride in offering high-quality products, and Butler trombone mutes are no exception!

In October 2023 I become a dealer for Shires Q-Series and Y-Fort trombones. I will examine and playtest every instrument in detail before selling it – so I take out quite some risks form buying online. All trombone prices include worldwide shipping!

Laskey

Scott Laskey was a legendary mouthpiece maker! Unfortunately, he passed away in 2018 and his designs and mouthpieces haven’t been available for some time. The Laskey Company was acquired in 2019 by Backun Musical Services, which is part of the Eastman Music Company. Backun relaunched Laskey’s successful designs and continues to expand the original Laskey range through extensive research. Together with Joe Alessi they released the Alessi series in 2023.

AR Resonance

AR Resonance mouthpieces are crafted by Antonio Rapacciuolo in Italy. These are not mere mouthpieces; they are works of art! Available in a wide range of materials, from buffalo horn to phosphor bronze to brass, the options seem limitless. The stellar build quality ensures a remarkable playing experience. I’m eagerly anticipating their arrival!

Symington

William Symington in London is making fine copies of the best vintage mouthpieces out there. So far he is offering a 1.5G and a 2G, both based on excellent vintage Bach’s. His speciality are mouthpieces made out of Zirconium. That material gives them excellent response and I feel they really get something special.

Butler trombones

Butler Trombones is revolutionizing the world of trombone playing with their cutting-edge carbon fiber instruments and customizations. Dave Butler’s latest innovation is an adjustable cup/straight mute made from a unique combination of carbon fiber and 3D printed carbon fiber/nylon. Unlike traditional mutes, this mute is infinitely adjustable through the manipulation of the cup and the velcro strips that move the corks up or down.

Mouthpiece trial policy

Mouthpieces can be returned for a full refund up to 30 days after delivery. Mouthpieces must be returned in like new condition. All returned mouthpieces must be unblemished, with no nicks, dents, gouges, scrapes, and/or scratches. Please be particularly attentive to not let any insertion marks on the mouthpiece shaft. To prevent this, I suggest you use some thin tape around the shank.

Any damaged returns will be charged a 50% fee.

Discounted mouthpieces are not refundable.

Before returning a mouthpiece

Contact me at daniel@swisstbone.com. Make clear which mouthpiece you return, when you received it and in what condition it is.

Shipping

Please ship your returns to the following address:

Daniel Alessi
Morystrasse 40b
3970 Salgesch
SWITZERLAND

Phone: 0041 79 796 73 79

You will have to pay for shipping. Please use the box I sent you the mouthpiece in or make sure the mouthpiece doesn’t get harmed during shipping. I recommend that you insure your return and use shipment tracking. I will not be responsible for damage or loss during return shipping.

Make sure to declare the mouthpiece as a return of a trial. The total value (including shipping) should not exceed 50 Swiss Francs. You can use Googles currency converter to calculate this value.

Refund

You can expect a 100% refund if your mouthpiece is in the expected condition. But PayPal fees, reimport fees, shipping fees etc. may diminish the amount of the refund. If that’s the case, I will of course explain why I cannot refund the entire amount.

I will refund you once the mouthpiece arrives and is found in like new condition. Otherwise I will contact you. Please understand this is a one man operation. It may take a few days before I can refund you.
