Griego Mouthpieces for sale
Being a professional musician, I demand that my equipment be reliable and let me perform how I want. From my time in my Masters at New England Conservatory to my tenure in the Detroit Symphony, my Griego mouthpieces have let my perform to the highest degree. With the comfortable rim to the taper of the cup, my Griego mouthpiece has let me succeed as a professional bass trombonist. If you are curious, my daily driver is the Markey 87.
Being Michigan’s first Griego dealer, I vow to give the best service to my customers. For the launch of my Griego dealership, I will include with every mouthpiece order a 50% off coupon for a lesson with me (In person or online). If you are buying a used trombone, you will receive a $20 off coupon for a Griego Mouthpiece as well.
My inventory will start with the Markey 82, 87 and 90 bass trombone mouthpieces. If those sell well, I will expand my inventory to tenor mouthpieces. If you have any recommendations for your students, feel free to send me a message!
Cheers,
Adam Rainey, Rainey Brass Company
Markey 82, 87, 90 Bass Trombone Mouthpieces
From Griego’s Website,
“James Markey and I have worked together on instrument setups since the 1990s. Back then, Jim was the Associate Principal in the New York Philharmonic, playing tenor trombone full time. Then Jim decided to audition for the open bass trombone chair in the orchestra and asked me to build an instrument that would be audition capable. We worked together on an Edwards B454 setup that he not only performed on in the New York Phil, but one he also used to win the Boston Symphony bass trombone audition.
Our next collaboration came with the development of the Edwards B502-I-Y. His development as a bass trombonist has been remarkable. I'm proud to have been a small part of it. So when I had the opportunity to work with him on a mouthpiece that could improve his setup, I was all in.
I decided to start with some tried-and-true stock bass trombone mouthpiece dimensions and developed the line around them. Jim had already performed on the GP Series and was very comfortable with that model's rim shape. The GP rim took these mouthpieces to a new level as flexibility was greatly improved. The need to shift in the upper register is greatly reduced as this rim doesn't lock you in like other models can.
The Markey Mouthpieces have deeper cups than the GP, but that allows for rich sounds and quick articulations. I focus on the front of the note more than other mouthpiece makers. This is so the sound happens more quickly with less effort.”
