I need to find a mouthpiece for the soprano that gives me a FAT jazz sound. Im using a stock mouthpiece and it is not fat enough for my needs can you guys help me out? I want to know which mouthpieces provide that type of sound and where I could get one.

Thanks

Try a Runyon custom, maybe?

Bari, 68 facing. If it works for Branford it works for me. I've been playing this setup for 20 years.

Super Session. As big a tip opening as you can control. I play the J and it is the best sop set up I have played yet.

If you can find an RPC. Ron doesn't make soprano pieces.

Barone Vintage for me.

Oh...

I did not know that. Could you imagine one though? I would have to agree with you though on the Baron Vintage. They are perfect for older jazz pieces, and I mean perfect. Similar to the RPCs.

I saw one on ebay, I got outbid. Ron says he used to make them, but they're just too much trouble.

Ditto on the Super Session. Loud AND control.

super session !

I really like the Yani metals on sop but they're edgier than Super Sessions and might be hard to control if you don't like really small mouthpieces. I love mine though.

Ron has made some soprano pieces and I've had one for quite some years now and it is indescribable. It measures .090, low rollover, fat, rich, powerful and versatile. Nobody has enough money to ever tempt me to sell it. Goes right to hell with me.

I'll second the Barone Vintage and raise you a Morgan Vintage...both should give you a nice fat sound...

I'd recommend either a Bari, one of my Vintage models, or the Selmer. Get a large opening but not too large or you'll find yourself fighting the pitch. Play a softer reed and take more mouthpiece in your mouth.
