A Mouthpiece with a "Vintage" Flavor, in the Spirit of the 1950s/60s
The announced "M medium" chamber geometry fits within a highly sought-after jazz sound aesthetic: a full, centered sound with substance, reminiscent of the design philosophy of many iconic mouthpieces from the 1950s/60s.
For Which Tenor Saxophonist and Styles
Primarily intended for jazz saxophonists (from swing to modern jazz), this mouthpiece is particularly suited for players who already have solid embouchure and air column control and who seek a round and deep sound without sacrificing presence.
Sound and Design
The combination of Bell Metal and medium chamber promotes a warm tone, good midrange density, and natural projection. The medium long facing provides a progressive response, appreciated for shaping the attack and stabilizing intonation across all registers.
