Historical Reference
This Greenhoe GC2-N Jazz Trombone, serial number 5602, has been sold and remains published as a historical reference for musicians researching Greenhoe trombones, GC2 series instruments, professional jazz trombones, and modern American brass instrument design.
The GC2-N was developed as part of the Greenhoe GC2 series in collaboration with jazz artist Alex Iles. Designed around a lightweight small-bore platform, the model was intended to capture the immediacy, flexibility, and response associated with classic American jazz trombones while providing the consistency and precision expected from a modern handcrafted instrument.
A defining feature of the GC2-N is its 8-inch solid nickel bell with an unsoldered rim. Unlike plated bell designs, the bell is constructed from solid nickel throughout, contributing to the instrument's unique response, projection profile, and tonal character. Combined with the lightweight slide and removable leadpipe system, the result is a highly responsive professional jazz trombone capable of handling lead playing, section work, solo performance, commercial music, recording sessions, and freelance applications.
Many players compare the GC2 series to classic instruments such as the King 2B and Conn 6H, while appreciating the improved consistency, slotting, and modern manufacturing tolerances found in contemporary Greenhoe trombones.
Examples of the Greenhoe GC2-N remain relatively uncommon on the secondary market and continue to attract interest from advanced students, educators, professional musicians, and collectors seeking a modern small-bore trombone with vintage-inspired playing characteristics.
