Alright now i have a cannonball big bell raven tenor. I prefer to use this plastic one that came with it because it just has a better sound then this meyer i have. I use zz's and v16 and they are size 3. I use the normal ligature. What mouthpiece setup would you reccomend better then this for my horn? (it can be any mouthpiece, ligature and reed. Just so you know)

by the way, im looking for a jazz sound,so...just ask yourself...wwagjpp(whatwould a great jazz player pick?)

the best thing to do would be to go to a local music store and ask to try out mouthpieces. If they wouldn't let you, go to woodwind and brass wind.com(www.wwbw.com) and you can order mouthpieces and if you dont like it return it. Try an ottolink metal. If you want that jazz sound. For reeds, once when you find a mouthpiece that you like experiment with reeds until you come across a brand/size you like. Best wishes

jazz sound is subjective...

Seriously man, you need to be specific. Go look at the second sticky at the top of the "General mouthpiece discussion" forum, and come back here and revise your post.

i believe someone on here said a tenor was worth at least 3 trombones... i'd love to test that next season... hehehe

For a plastic mouthpiece, its a rather nice one. Most plastic ones suck, but this is actually a nice one. I was surprised myself about how well it compared to a few other mouthpieces.

the facing on mine is pretty bad. maybe if it was faced correctly i would like it better.
