JUST GOT MY PONZOL NECK FOR MY YTS 82Z LAST WEEK.
Been playing it and my original custom G-1 neck on my Jody Jazz DV-8*. I like them both but they do sound different to me.
the G-1 custom neck plays easily, has a sweet core tone, very responsive, great altissimo , good edge, bright but deep tone.what i mean by bright is the highest harmonics in the tone are very audible, especially above the staff. this creates nice cut for rock or fusion or outdoor events.
I was looking for something to darken the tone just a bit without changing mouthpieces.I have found that in this ponzol.it has a darker tonal core without losing clarity or power. it is just as free blowing as the original G -1
the ponzol has a tone that seems to lessen the very highest harmonics and emphasize the mid and lows creating a deeper tonal core that is great for jazz or classical.it doesn't have the highest harmonics to cut but it does not lose any power. in fact i can really push the ponzol and it doesn't seem as if it has a limit on this horn.
although the altissimo is good on the G-1 it is better on the ponzol. it is easier to play and has a richer tone. fork G to high C just pop out with no change from my regular emboucher, sounds like a nice alto up there.the ponzol also helped the inherent intonation problems with B2, C#2, and B3.( for c#2 i usually just use side c key to vent, but don't have to with the ponzol).
Needless to say I love the ponzol but won't get rid of the G-1.
