It took quite some effort to find a metal mouthpiece that’s suits me.
Thank you Thomann for giving me the opportunity to try several brands and designs.
I was looking for a more powerful, projecting (with a higher baffle) mp at first, but learned I’m not comfortable with those. I get a harsh tone and squeaks quickly. This is personal of course, obviously other saxophonists play well on them. Eventually the Jody Jazz DV NY (7*) appears to work very good for me. It took me a short period to get used to it and then I was even surprised how well my saxophone can sound! Also its versatility is very appealing. Besides a warm sound, when pushed and with certain reed types you can also make it sound quite fierce! I feel the favourable descriptions of its capabilities and sound you find on the internet (even Jody’s) are not exaggerated.
(funny, for me it's clearly higher class than the Vandoren metal and lower notes come out fine)
