Jazz mouthpieces? - immortaloldshool. - 25-07-2009
I play 2nd Alto Sax in my high schools Jazz 2 band.
Cuz we have 2 jazz bands.
Juniors and Seniors in Jazz 1.
Freshman, me, and Sophmore in Jazz 2.
My band teacher said I should get a metal mouthpiece or a jazz mouthpiece.
Opinions on them?
Good brands to use that don't cost much at all?
Thanks.

i play alto alot but i've never tried using a jazz mouthpiece, i do have a jazz neck though.. silver instead of gold so i can tell them apart. .......... on the other hand i have a metal jazz mouthpiece for my bari (which i play in my high schools top jazz band) and it works great! it's hard to play with anything else on my bari now that i;ve got used to it, i even play classical peices on it. i'm not sure about the brand.. i'll get back to you on that.:biggrin:
