Who the Classic 4.5 NY Large Bore Tenor Trombone Mouthpiece Is For

The Griego Classic 4.5 NY is a large bore tenor trombone mouthpiece built for orchestral and wind band players who want a free-blowing feel and a rich, complementary large-bore sound. Its slightly wider cup diameter than the Griego model 5 provides more room for embouchure placement, which can help players who feel cramped in smaller diameters or who want a bit more space without moving to an entirely different concept.

This model is well-suited for symphony second trombone work where breadth and blend matter, and it can also be an effective choice for principal players in larger orchestras that require a fuller, more expansive sound concept. The rim profile is slightly flatter than the model 5, which some players prefer for stability and comfort during long rehearsals and performances.
