Griego-Alessi 5C This mouthpiece cup depth works as a great principal or all-around mouthpiece. Griego-Alessi 7C Great all around mouthpiece. Very close to standard Bach 5 except with the wider Alessi rim.

Our primary objective in creating the Griego-Alessi line was to provide you with both a great mouthpiece as well as a great mouthpiece??series. Each series (1, 3, 4, 5, and 7) currently has six models (A, B, C, D, E, and F) with identical cup diameters and rim shapes. The differences between the mouthpieces in each series are in the cup depths and throat dimensions.

Once you have chosen the mouthpiece that best suits your playing, you should be able to move freely among the other mouthpieces in that series to find the optimal cup depths and throat dimensions to satisfy your musical requirements.

We have taken great care to keep the specifications of the Griego-Alessi mouthpieces exact and to Joseph Alessi's high standards. To that end, no alterations were made to the rim or cup dimensions of any mouthpieces produced for previous Alessi lines. We have, however, introduced the new 7 Series, which combines the cup diameter of Bach 5 mouthpieces with all the excellent qualities of the Griego-Alessi line.
