Boston Sax Shop S Series Tenor Sax Mouthpiece
I’ve been very lucky in my life to enjoy some incredible classic mouthpieces and was constantly on the search for something that had tonal homogeny throughout all ranges, but that I could get plenty of volume out of. The S-Series hard rubber tenor mouthpiece is a result of the fruits of that search and I’m proud to share a design that in my opinion encapsulates a remarkable amount of core, depth and evenness for a ‘jazz’ mouthpiece while still having the ability to cut. It’s a reference to the great ‘horseshoe’ chamber pieces of the past, but made for the modern player.
Jack Finucane has designed and made 3 models of tenor sax mouthpieces based on vintage mouthpieces. Where these differ from other mouthpieces is that while based on old mouthpieces, Jack has reconfigured baffles to match modern sized facings that may not have existed when these mouthpieces that were designed.
These only come in 7* (.105) and 8* (.115) sizings. Please make note of which size you want in your order!
The links to the individual mouthpieces have some sound clips of the same players playing the different mouthpeice, this can show how they affect the tone of said players.
