Hi Everyone,

Does anyone play one of these Meyer Metal Jazz Tenor Mouthpieces? I haven't found much about them online and was just wondering if they were any good. Being a Meyer, my best shot would be to say that it is a bright mouthpiece, but I don't want to jump to any conclusions. Also, I have found that there is another mouthpiece called just a Meyer Metal Tenor Mouthpiece. Other than the fact that the Metal Tenor Mouthpiece looks to be made of a bronze material as opposed to the Jazz's nickel appearance, I don't see any difference between them. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. Also, I posted links to the mouthpieces below.

Not many guys play them. They arent necessarly bad, just nothing to write home about.

I play one in the early 90th, but i'm not sure it is the same design as now. I remember they change the piece later. The one I use was more like the Meyer metal tenor, but we dont see the baffle, so... .It was a medium/large chamber with a very long and high rollover baffle. The brightness was equivalent to a berg 2 and sound wise, it remind me a lot the first Lebayle Jazz series (no serial number) with a lushier low end than the berg but the palm more edgy like the Lebayle J.
