Welcome To Music Elements! We are everyday 10am - 6pm!
We've worked with a lot of bass trombonists and have noticed an interesting trend -- most of them play a mouthpiece one size larger than they should. If extra care is given when play testing, bass trombonists will be able to find a more effecient mouthpiece for their needs, one that maintains its characteristics in all registers. Griego offers many sizes to help you find that perfect mouthpiece.
Orchestral players who play a 60, 1, or larger mouthpieces will love the feel of the Griego 0.5. Most bass trombone mouthpieces are unbalanced, which causes a wide array of sound widths and tonal colors throughout the different registers. We have paid very close attention to the balance between the cup, throat, and backbore of our mouthpieces. The end result in the 0.5 is a larger mouthpiece that maintains tonal color no matter the tessitura. The upper register maintains the core sound without becoming diffuse. The lower register is full with plenty of energy in the sound. The larger cup size of the 0.5 allows the player to increase the size of the sound as they descend in range.
Orchestral players who play a 59 or 1¼ will love the feel of the Griego 1.
