Serious Straight-Ahead Jazz Mouthpiece - Not too Dark, Not Too Bright - Just Right.
Provides good edge and power but remains consistent with a solid tonal center that has a lot of bottom in the tone. Good response with an even scale in all registers and easy to play. The Studio Jazz Series delivers great response in the low register when playing soft (full tone) and in sub tone. Good intonation is a essential in a Tenor saxophone mouthpiece and the Studio Jazz delivers excellent intonation across the range of the Tenor.
What makes the Studio Jazz Tenor Better for Jazz?
A full sound and better projection while maintaining a beautiful Tenor sax sound are the benefits of the Studio Jazz Tenor Mouthpiece. In Jazz, the Tenor has to cut through, but most straight ahead players don't want a sound that is too shrill and cutting. The sound of Wayne Shorter, John Coltrane and Branford Marsalis are some examples of the range of tone one might obtain from the Rousseau Studio Jazz Tenor.
The wider tip openings of Jazz sax mouthpieces necessitate playing softer reeds than the reeds you play with a Classical sax mouthpiece. Also, in general, Jazz players are seeking a buzzier sound that the softer reed provides. Jazz mouthpieces are louder and brighter than Classical mouthpieces because of the smaller chamber of the Jazz mouthpieces. The larger tip opening of a Jazz mouthpiece also provides for some more volume of tone but mostly it assists in the bending of notes.
Rousseau mouthpieces are designed for saxophonists at every level from World Class Concertizing Artists, To University Professors to aspiring students from Middle School to College.
Rousseau mouthpieces are made from traditional hard Rubber and manufactured 100% in the USA and then expertly hand finished by artisans at the JodyJazz Factory on the crucial and indispensable final details of the mouthpiece such as baffle and tip rail.
At the JodyJazz Factory they play test every single Rousseau Mouthpiece after extensive hand work is done to gauge and measure each piece. Consistency and Excellence is an Obsession.
