Which one was your favorite?! Just so you know, the JodyJazz HR and SYOS had to be filmed on a different day due to stock issues! We hope you enjoyed the video!
I could tell you were filming the Jody and syos on a different day because the sound was more breath in flavour - my preference. You sound great man. We should only buy gear that we feel comfortable hearing and playing. Thank you for a great video.
The Jumbo Java sounded unexpectedly good!
I have this on T55 tip opening for tenor and with V16 reed and my Conn sounds incredible
Vandoren Jumbo Java, Otto Link Vintage, and the JodyJazz Jet all gave me the warm fuzzies: nice edge with good body and depth behind them.
Hi there! Jody Jazz HR was my fav. Really balanced throughout the whole range and a very natural sound!
3 stood out for me... Vandoren Jumbo Java, Syos Custom & JodyJazz HR. Love the sound of all 3 of them!
This was awesome! Would love to get an Alto Version. Jody Jazz HR sounds great on tenor
This video came at a perfect timing! I am going to get a new tenor mouthpiece in a couple of weeks, with this budget!
This is the best demonstration ever. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
Vandoren V16 and Jody Jazz HR, greetings from Germany!
Syos custom, Vandoren Java, and the Jody Jazz Jet were my favorites overall.
My favorite two was the JodyJazz HR and the Rousseau JDX Jazz. Beautiful sound!
I recently purchased my tenor Otto Link and was pleased to hear the way it compared with the 4C and others...
Could we get classical playing on the classical mouthpieces? I know the scales and patterns itself weren’t jazz specific, but the embouchure certainly was. Would really help show what those pieces can do!
Yes please!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Watch this space!!!!
Great comparison. I like the JDX and Jumbo Java. Jody HR is nice too.
Great video! I'd love to see an alto version, especially with one of those old-school open chamber mouthpieces, like a Rascher or Caravan!
I noticed you changed your top when using the Syos Custom. I was impressed with the Yamaha 4C TBH - thanks for the demos, very useful.
The Rousseau is my fave
To me the Jody Jazz HR* just had it all. Great piece. Also the Otto Link Vintage sounded nice.
I would be great to do this for alto too
Yamaha 4c far the best 👍🎷
Nice comparison. You mentioned that all of the mpcs are about a 7 or 7* tip opening, but as far as I know the Yamaha 4C has a much smaller tip opening. Wouldn't a Yamaha 5C or 6C be a bit closer to the other tip openings?
Yea
Jody Jazz Jet! You saved the best for last!
I liked the Yanagisawa the most. The Vandoren V16 Second and The V16 Jumbo Java 3rd (that one sounded like it wanted to be pushed). The Jody Jazz HR and Jet were not bad either. They, like the Jumbo Java, sounded like they needed to be pushed. The Meyer was my least favorite. I found that the Yamaha 4C sounded way better.
Some of those sounded like the reed wasn't suitable for the mouthpiece. Maybe the reed was too hard? The JodyJazz HR and Jet were my favourites, they seem to play the best with your reed. Are you going to do one of these fir alto sax? I am interested in trying a new alto mouthpiece to see if I can find one that plays better for me than the ones I use.
100% agree, with any new mouthpiece it's worth trying different reeds to find the right pairing. We will definitely do this for alto in the future!
Clearly my preference is Jody Jazz
v16 and daddario select jazz for me ;)
Is the V5 mouthpiece a T35 ?
JodyJazz HR* and D'addario Select Jazz for me.
Strangely all Selmers sound so close, that I am unable to hear almost any difference here on a good pair of headphones and studio monitors. On other UA-cam comparisons I was able to hear a difference between S80 and S90. Jody Jazz HR sounds nice, but there is a slight change in the intonation - sounds a tad higher than the others. Was that intentional or intonation is harder with it - asking for a beginner to intermediate level player?
Jody jazz!
Vandoren Java and Otto Links were my favs but most of the rest sounded almost as good to my poor ears...
Jody Jazz HR
Jodi jazz hard rubber was the best.
Best Jody Jet, worst Syos.
The SYOS mouthpieces are usually great. I think it may have been him.
No disrespect intended but that looked like hard work. Reed to hard ?
I have the same feeling.
I noticed that too. Looks like he was using a Rovner light ligature. I have used them before and noticed they tend to add resistance and make lower notes harder to play (had the same issue on alto and soprano versions) and I got a slightly better response with a Rovner Dark ligature and a much better response with a BG Duo ligature, so it could be the ligature as well that is causing that, not just the reed.
I would call that too hard a reed/ligature setup since a lot of the mouthpieces failed in the low register
Only thing that annoys me a bit, I am primarily a classical player, is that you played jazz on classical mouthpieces, I am aware that they can be used for jazz, but I feel like these mouthpieces will be glanced over simply due to the fact that they didn't sound very good when played in this setting. Great video though.
Sos Custom is my favourite. But ugly…
Not many people here liked the ones that I liked. The 1940s saxophones had a woody, you could say V-shaped sound. They sounded like saxophones. That's what I seek. I don't like saxes that sound like fuzztones. There's nothing to like there.
Terrible video. There are way more mouthpieces under $250. Dude must be sponsored
