***ARTIST SPOTLIGHT***

"With Greg Black Mouthpieces, I finally feel like I have a mouthpiece that allows me to achieve the trombone sound that I hear in my head, while also providing the size customization options to best fit my own playing. The result is a consistent sound and ease of playing across all registers of the horn, with maximum endurance!” – Drew Leslie

Today we are highlighting our popular "290" Series for Euphonium, designed in close collaboration with James E Jackson III. Released in 2024 after several years of prototyping with professionals and amateur enthusiasts, Greg and team developed the "290" Series Euphonium Mouthpieces from some of our already extremely popular rim and cup sizes but with a different feel and balance more suited for the needs of the performer. The resulting sound has a richness, wider spectrum of overtones and depth that we think you will love!

The "290" Series is available in a wide number of our standard trombone rim and cup sizes, including our New York sizes that feature a wider, more cushioned rim profile. Visit our website to learn more now at www.gregblackmouthpieces.com
