Greg Black has been making mouthpieces since 1985, carrying on the traditions of the great New York City mouthpiece makers. Today he and partner Benjamin Strickland run the shop in Mount Holly, North Carolina, where every mouthpiece is handmade. You'll find Greg Black mouthpieces in orchestras, Broadway pits, recording studios, and schools around the world.
The "AL" StyleThe "AL" style pairs a medium cup with a medium wide rim and a .265" bore. Each AL rim matches the corresponding Greg Black rim size, so it's easy to move between models without the rim feeling different.
New York 1AL Specs- Rim: Matches the New York 1 (26.90mm, 1.060")
- Cup depth: Medium
- Rim width: Medium wide
- Bore: 17/64 (.265")
- Shank: Large (symphony tenor)
- Weight options: Regular or Medium. Heavier mouthpieces slot more firmly, while lighter ones give you more flexibility in slotting and dynamic control. Light is a great all-around choice, and heavier weights tend to be preferred for orchestral work or the extremes of very soft and very loud playing.
