Bill Milashius has been a fixture in the Twin Cities for many years as a builder of Thayer valves (under license from the Thayer family) and custom one-off brass mouthpieces and we are proud to be the exclusive retailer for his new line of trombone mouthpieces. Influenced by his years of experience in creating custom pieces for Twin Cities professionals the Milashius line offers an excellent balance of comfort, flexibility, control and timbre and are available in a wide range of sizes.
The Milashius pieces have become one of the favorites among the custom mouthpieces we carry in the Trombone Shop. We find them to have a very balanced response, fast but with the right amount of weight and stability, and a timbre that has a lot of core and complexity without getting dark and diffuse, as well as vibrancy without getting bright and edgy. One of the things that make the Milashius line unique is that he uses a wider variety of material blank sizes when building his mouthpieces, especially on the larger end; for bass trombonists this means that even his largest mouthpieces have wider rims then many other options, adding to the comfort and security for the player. For our customers in the shop they typically end up in the same conversation as Hammond, Griego and other high-end makers, with the level of handcrafting to match!
