Who the Classic 2 NY Bass Trombone Mouthpiece Is For

The Griego Classic 2 NY is a bass trombone mouthpiece designed for players who want consistent tonal color and a stable core sound across all registers. It is specifically aimed at bass trombonists who are sensitive to the way many mouthpieces can feel unbalanced, producing different sound widths and tonal colors as you move through the tessitura.

Griego’s Classic 2 NY focuses on the balance between cup, throat, and backbore to keep the upper register from becoming diffuse while preserving a centered, core sound. In the lower register, it is intended to support a full sound with strong energy. Players accustomed to the feel of a Bach 1.5 typically find the Classic 2 NY familiar in feel, making it a practical choice for professionals and advancing students who want a reliable, even response for orchestral, wind ensemble, and commercial bass trombone work.

Common Questions About the Griego Classic 2 NY

Will the Griego Classic 2 NY feel similar to a Bach 1.5?

Yes. The Classic 2 NY is often preferred by players who are comfortable on a Bach 1.5 because the rim and overall feel are in a comparable comfort zone while offering Griego’s balanced cup, throat, and backbore approach.

What does “balanced” mean in this mouthpiece design?

In this context, “balanced” refers to how the cup, throat (.291), and backbore work together to keep sound width and tonal color consistent across registers, rather than changing character noticeably from high to low range.

Is this mouthpiece suitable for professional bass trombone use?

Yes. The Classic 2 NY is built for the demands of professional playing, emphasizing a stable core in the upper register and a full, energetic lower register for typical bass trombone performance settings.
