Has someone tried the schilke symphony D5.1? Does anyone know what is the difference between that and the schilke 51? Do you recommend changing from one to the other?

For what it's worth, the D5.1 is just a bit deeper than the 51; slightly different contours of rim, cup, throat, and backbore. Feels a little bigger, but really, pretty similar.
Are you unhappy with your 51? What do you want changed? The D5.1 is not a magic bullet that will suddenly improve your trombone playing. If you want to experiment, try one - you may like it. Mouthpiece preferences vary from one player to another - tastes are very individual.

I have a 52, but I am looking for smaller mpcs, I would also like to try the Griego 4.5-5.

LOTS of options in that size range. But either of the Schilkes would be a great choice to try.

To me the 51 is brighter and a little clearer/zippy. D5.1 is darker and the rim is a little more comfortable.

I just tried a D5.1* today on a conn hh8t and couldn't put it down. I know this is an old thread, but I liked the mouthpiece a ton. The music store owner said within my first note the projection I was getting was drastically improved. Felt free, comfortable and easy on the chops.
