Who the BH260 Bass Trombone Mouthpiece Is For
The Griego BH260 is a NY-blank bass trombone mouthpiece designed for players who need a dark, powerful orchestral core with controlled overtones and an efficient, cleaner response. It was evolved from Brian Hecht’s original model after real-world feedback from orchestral front-line use, specifically to keep the sound massive while improving balance and blend in the section.
Compared to earlier Hecht designs, the BH260 focuses on three practical upgrades serious bass trombonists can feel immediately: a reimagined rim with increased surface area for comfort and stability during long rehearsals, a .310 inch throat for a more efficient blow, and a smoother upper-partial profile that supports clear articulation and consistent color without an overly bright edge. If you want projection that anchors the low brass without overpowering the ensemble, the BH260 is built for that job.
Common Questions About the Griego BH260
What changed in the newer Hecht Series design?
The BH260 uses the classic NY blank, a redesigned rim with more surface area, and a .310 inch throat. These changes are intended to retain power while improving response efficiency and smoothing upper partials for better orchestral blend.
Is the Griego BH260 suitable for professional orchestral bass trombone?
Yes. The BH260 was developed from Brian Hecht’s orchestral performance requirements and is aimed at producing a dark, massive sound with controlled overtones and a cleaner response that blends well in an orchestral texture.
Will the original Brian Hecht models still be available?
Yes. The original Hecht models are planned to remain available as custom orders after current stock is sold.
