Tenor Sax Mouthpiece Comparison: Yamaha, Selmer, Morgan, Rast, Jody Jazz, Otto Link, Guardala, Sugal

12 Mouthpieces playing the same stuff (ish) with the same reed and same saxophonist. Made for fun for my students to see what different materials and designs sound like. *Metal Otto Link Should be labeled Tone Master not Tone Edge, sorry! 0.00 - Intro 0:35 - Yamaha Custom 4c 1:28 - Selmer Soloist C* 2:27 - Selmer S80 C* 3:44 - Selmer S80 F 4:59 - Morgan 9M 6:10 - Fred Rast 119J 7:22 - Jody Jazz Custom Dark 5* 8:43 - Jody Jazz HR 7 9:57 - Otto Link Tone Edge HR 7* 11:42 - Otto Link Tone Master Metal 7 13:28 - Dave Guardala Crescent 14:48 - Gary Sugal Super Gonz I The Yamaha piece came with one of the Yamaha tenors I've had over the years. I was surprised when making this how much I like it. The older I get the more strong opinions of my youth fall. I used to think close tip pieces were garbage but now I dig them in the right circumstance. The Selmer Soloist I bought and played on for long time around 2008 or something? I love Joe Henderson's tenor playing and was inspired to get this and a little disappointed when I found out later how different it was to the one he played. That said this piece has always felt nice and just made me enjoy playing so I totally recommend trying one if you get the chance. It's got a more solid core and a bit more definition for me than the S80. The S80's Feel pretty similar but due to the softish reed (I used a rico royal 4 and royals tend to run soft) the F opening felt much better. The S80 has always felt great to me on alto and soprano but only recently am I starting to see what the deal is with it on tenor. It has been to fuzzy and dark for me for a long time but I'm always in the shed and I think my air focus has gotten better over time and unlocked a little more of what these are about. I got the Morgan from My teacher when I went to PSU. It is really wide and it got passed around the students when I was there a bit with most folks finding that they couldn't keep it under control. Now years later it feels fine and even kind of moderate. With the right read it can really scream and sing gently in the same measure. This is another example of a mouthpiece that I learned from. So often what feels difficult is not in our gear at all but in our technique, if we play the way the horn and mouthpiece and reed want its gonna work out fine. I really dig this piece now! Fred Rast This piece I got from a Jace Dumars, brilliant person who used to run a bunch of internet saxophone forums. I helped them move and was given this mouthpiece and a horn used for practice engraving which was beautiful. This piece is all hand done from old rubber by Fred Rast who I believe is out of SF and who I got to meet a few years ago at a Swiss Festival in Washington State with excellent saxophone technician Fred Vogal. This piece is a favorite though I don't play it all the time. The hand carving of the interior can not be done justice in the photo. We are in the time of perfect straight lines and angles. This is from the time of another kind of perfect flow and line, maybe not machine perfect but life connected somehow. Jody Jazz Custom Dark I emailed Jody Jazz about their Giant mouthpiece and to my surprise they emailed back (Jody himself) and I got to exchange a number of phone calls and emails with him and a couple other of their employees. They listened to my sound on some recordings and recommended this mouthpiece instead which turned out to be a life saver throughout the pandemic. I am always so surprised when a companies that I imagine to be huge are actually real folks who will genuinely take the time to help their customers. Thank Jody Jazz, I really appreciated the whole experience and the piece is still fantastic. Jody Jazz HR 7 This is my regular piece now. I play it because it is a nice mix of all the things I like. It can be bright or dark and it just feels good. I love the way the inside looks and I love how when I open any of their boxes (I teach out of a music shop so I see lots of gear) I just feel like they do a really good job of making consistent quality pieces. I've owned 7 or 8 different Jody Jazz mouthpieces and didn't include all of them here but I recommend them for sure if you're looking for a quality make of mouthpiece that is available in many music shops. Otto LInk Tone Edge Hard Rubber/Metal The rubber one I played at the end of my 20's and I swear there were still notes in it when I picked it up. The metal one was the first I played on. I love Coltrane and seeing him play those it was the only choice. Dave Guardala Crescent This one was fun, I bought it with my first tax return and because it was Coltrane inspired. Loaned it out for a long time and just got it back. Gary Sugal Super Gonz I Young folks hate pieces that look uneven or rough at all. They want the smooth and perfect lines of the modern age. This think is like a piece of raw metal from the earth, hand made and uneven, it balks at the smooth lines of the modern age.
