Jody Jazz ESP Gold Plated Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece (7* Facing with Spoiler)
The JodyJazz ESP is a metal tenor saxophone mouthpiece with flawless workmanship. The workmanship is evident in the beautiful thin side and tip rails and hand cut baffles. This metal sax mouthpiece is machined from a solid bar of the finest virgin brass, meaning no seams! The ESP is beautifully plated with the finest 24kt, Hard Gold plating available. A very interesting feature is that the new JodyJazz has a removable baffle with a 24kt Gold plated secondary reed which gives the mouthpiece more brilliance and projection.
The chamber is big and fat, and the sound is unusually full. Compared to many of the high baffle metal sax mouthpieces, the JodyJazz ESP will deliver a more round full sound with more bottom end without sacrificing high end or ease of playing.
About the spoiler:
The Spoiler is a patented invention. It adds volume (projection) and brightness to the mouthpiece. Spoilers consist of a wedge which creates a higher baffle giving the mouthpiece a brighter more cutting sound. Attached to the wedge is a small metal "reed" which actually vibrates when air is blown into the mouthpiece. This vibration disturbs the air stream causing more complex harmonics and creating more volume. This device slips easily in or out of the mouthpiece. It's like having two mouthpieces in one.
The mouthpiece is shipped with a Deluxe Rovner Dark Ligature and cap, a special removable baffle with a 24kt Gold plated secondary reed, and a deluxe mouthpiece pouch.
