Here in the US that kind of sound would get you kicked out of a concert band or classical situation. Sounds like a good mouth[piece for a newer player that wants a pop sound.
Rather hyperbolic. For a student who does concert, and jazz, but can only have 1 piece, it would be fine. He didn't demonstrate a classical excerpt, so there's no way to tell. No matter what, this would be a grand improvement from the doorstop mouthpiece they would be on otherwise.
@@Frygonz A small tip doesn't mean it is for classical. When he is showing the size of the mouthpiece you can see ridges down the baffle and it sounds like a small chambers. That "shark gill baffle" as Theo Wanne describes it, and small chambers are creating overtones the classical player doesn't want. I am guessing he manufactured to many of these and is trying to rebrand it. The sound would stick out in a concert band situation. For a newer player that wants a pop sound and needs a mouthpiece that is easy to control it may be a good choice. Jim has made it clear he is not a classical sax play, his classical career was on the oboe.
I've owned a water mouth piece for a bit over a year and it sounds much nicer in a classical setting. As it is designed for classical music, I did find playing low notes to be a bit harder at first but I fell in love with the mouthpiece pretty much instantly.
Finally someone reviews this mouthpiece!
I've been searching for a review of this piece for weeks thank you
I use Légère reeds, what # do you recommend for this mouthpiece so I can get a full range easily? 👀🙏🏼
What size reed should I use?
Will this work with a Rovner ligature?
What is the right reed numbering for the Water mouthpiece?
Thank you
Sounds very good! Is there a tenor piece on the way?
I don't think so
Price is?
It was advertised as a classical mouthpiece, how come you didn't try it with classical music?
Cuz it’s kinda both. It works really well with classic and really good for jazz.
Just wish there was a tenor version
ART material looks like ABS. I guess they took a page from Rico Metallite.
is it me or It has a bit of a soprano thing going on?

That's harsh man

Dude's obviously a jazz guy, can't really judge it's classical sound from this. Other recordings from classical sax players don't sound bad
I watch my friend's video and cheer for you.

This is marketed as a mouthpiece for classics playing and you don’t showcase that at all in your playing. Unfortunate
I thought the exact same thing
This one sounds rather left from pleasant
