They all sound good. No audience member would ever be able to do a blindfold test, probably no sax player either. it is all about how it feels to me. The free-blowing and the access to altissimo notes as well as bottom is what does it for me. I can find tenor mouthpieces easily, not so for alto or soprano.

@XIIMonkeysMusicGroup 2 года назад

It took me forever to find the right mouthpieces on Alto and Tenor! Been through far fewer changes on Soprano and Alto. In fact, I still have my Rovner Deep V #6 I bought new in 1999 for my Soprano! I did add the Theo Wanne Series 1 Gaia in 2016 though. But the Deep V is never leaving!

I really appreciate that you play the same excerpts when comparing equipment. Some reviewers just trot out their blues cliches and altissimo notes, which don’t reveal any useful audio information. IMO you sounded best on your Meyer and on the HR Dark. Great review!

What's tricky about mouthpiece testing, is that the reed REALLY matters! Mouthpieces that I absolutely hated sounded better when I changed reed brands, filed, unfiled, strength, etc.

@ThePhunkyPharaoh 2 года назад

yeah man, the reed is OP

@Xavier_Dimoff Год назад

I’m sure if he had the right reed for every mouthpiece in this video, he would struggle more and more to pick a favorite. Sometimes it’s best to let the reed pick the mouthpiece so that you don’t have to go around searching for the right reed. Sometimes it’s the opposite.

When I upgraded from my stock tenor mouthpiece a few years ago, I managed to find an absolute steal on an HR* size 7 tip for $70 as a clearance deal at my local music store. Safe to say that I'm very happy with a find like that as someone who loves a warmer sound.

I definitely want to try the JodyJazz HR or the Jet if I can, I played for a good amount of time on the JodyJazz SuperJet on Alto which I love but I feel like it's good in playing where it asks for power, kinda like the DV like you mentioned. Loved your playtesting.

@ryanudairam2002 2 года назад

It’s funny that you say that the DV might have sounded the worst, but honestly from what I am hearing, that sounded the most freest of all the mouthpieces you played in this video. The microphone doesn’t lie. You could hear that things felt easier on that piece by far. DV NY also sound great, with a subtle darker sound to it. Jet was the brightest of them all. I agree that the HR* was a cleaner Meyer. HR custom dark was ok for breathier sound. Aside from the pieces, your playing was absolutely awesome! As we Minnesotans like to say, “Uff da!!” :)

@VeggiesbyEos 2 года назад

@bananaboy2894 2 года назад

i currently use the custom dark on my alto, it has an amazing sound and feel to it. It’s very rich in sound in the higher register and has a smoky sound in the lower register. at first altissimo was slightly harder to play consistently, but that was most likely because i hadn’t gotten used to the mouthpiece yet solid 9/10, definitely get one when you have a chance

@thewarhenk 2 года назад

I’d tried all three DVs for tenor and an HR for alto. JJs aren’t quite for me. I thought that the HR was as resistant a piece as I’ve ever played. I really liked the DV which was a bit bright and thin for me personally, and I thought the Chicago was their best. Ultimately I decided against them. Obviously, mouthpiece choice is a very personal thing, and the same piece can sound very different between two different players and horns.

@xggames7278 2 года назад

i play the hr* in an 8 size on bari and altissimo doesnt really get any easier with any reed you use, you just have to move your math around till it works, the high g is the weirdest change to play by far. but the over blowing altissimo notes are pretty easy on it

Honestly for the bebop stuff that you love playing i think the HR custom dark sounded the closest to the desired Bird-like character. Also, you seemed to really "sing" the phrases with it. If you played more fusiony or modern stuff, you could go with the NY or DV.
