I don't know very much about mouthpieces, or what's out there. I know the names Jody Jazz, Theo Wanna, Otto link ETC however I've only had a chance to try out a few - Vintage Otto link, and some metal Theo Wanna pieces. I'm hoping more knowledgeable members can jump in here and lend me a hand!
I currently play on an SR technologies Tenor Legend HR mouthpiece. I bought this years ago when I thought I would get back into playing but never did It's was in my drawer for 9 years before I picked playing back up and I have been using it ever since.
My sound concept / goal is focus! I understand that really comes from the player, not the equipment so we don't have to dive into that type of discussion. I'm simply wondering which mouthpieces are the most focused today - High quality and don't require refacing once purchased.
I only like HR mouthpieces, I can't stand metal... It's funny because years ago when I use to play I had a metal Jody Jazz DV NY * Same deal, I bought it when I switched to Tenor and never really tried anything else *
First of all, for those of you that have played an SR technologies Tenor Legend HR mouthpiece, Would you say it's pretty focused? Or spread?
Secondly, what are the most focused mouthpieces today in the world of HR, which ones should I track down to try out? I'd prefer darker or neutral vs bright.
I could also look at tracking down a Vintage HR mouthpiece.
Lastly, I love that my current mouthpiece is slim! It's the same width as an Alto HR meyer, most HR tenor mouthpieces are massive in comparison. Are any of the focused mouthpieces suggested on the thinner / smaller side?
Thanks for your help guys!
