I agree with this. You already selected a mouthpiece that projects very well.Jody Jazz projects plenty in the right hands. The lead alto in my big band plays one and can knock the walls down with it. In this case I’d say practice and experiment with different reeds. You don’t need a different mouthpiece.
What are you playing...alto?....tenor?....other?Looking for a mouthpiece with more projection and more "edge" than my jody jazz hr. Any suggestions?
Well, since we're in the tenor mouthpiece sub-forum....... ;-)What are you playing...alto?....tenor?....other?
lol......I've done the same MANY times. Welcome to the club!Well I suppose that could be considered a decent hint. :mrgreen:
I tend to agree but you seem to be implying it is nothing to do with the mouthpiece, that it's all down to the player. I believe it is a bit of each. The projection (ie loudness)of a mouthpiece depends on many things. Tip opening, baffle, chamber facing curve to name a few. Then there is also reed and of course the player's ability to be loud or edgy which I believe is just as important, if not more so, but can be diminished by a mouthpiece that is not helping.Jody Jazz projects plenty in the right hands.

I don't think I implied that at all. There are lots of mouthpiece designs that don't project well. The Jody Jazz, however, already has all the factors needed for projection (the right opening, baffle, chamber, etc.).I tend to agree but you seem to be implying it is nothing to do with the mouthpiece, that it's all down to the player.
