I would like some suggestions for soprano sax mouthpieces. I play a Conn International 94m Soprano sax, and I am looking for a mpc that will project over the band. Has anybody played on a Selmer Paris Super Session, how does it sound?, is it good for jazz? Besides the price of the super session, i am looking for a mpc under $110.




Thanks.

I've played soprano for 35 years and the Super Sessions are the best I've ever played, and I've owned them all. Wonderful rich full sound, a nice balance of smoothness & resonance, power & projection if needed, not too bright, not too dark, nicely centered. They wonderful pieces. I'm using a Super Session "I" and my back-up is a Yani Metal 7 which is also a very nice piece and great for power and projection since that's what you're looking for. Each however will cost you more than the $110 but they're worth it.

Try a Yanagisawa hard rubber 7 or 8

I play the exact same Conn model and have used both a Runyon Custom 6 and Jody Jazz Classic 7. Both work well.

A few of my friends like the Morgan Vintage as well.

Although I use a Yamaha mouthpiece, the Super Session is one of the great ones for soprano and alto.

The Super Session is great for jazz, but only if it suits you. If it's not a good mouthpiece for you, then it won't be good for any style.
