The AJ Grizzly is an identical design to our Grizzly model but uses a slightly smaller bell flare. This smaller bell flare makes for a slightly brighter sound and just a little more projection. The first one was designed for Austin Johanning (the namesake of this AJ Grizzly model) while touring with a rock band in which the horn section consisted of a trumpet and a trombone. He was playing a grizzly and the smaller bell helped distinguish his tone from the trombone. Austin Johanning is still currently playing this model.
