New Sax Mouthpiece, Arrived!- Jodyjazz Classic Alto


Now I just got this 2days before, so I haven't quite adapt to the new mouthpiece.
My old one, compared to this. Each have their pros and cons..

This new one, is for sure, better!

The old mouthpiece (Yamaha Plastic YAS23) - Free
Pros:
-Smaller tip opening (4.5) means lesser air required means longer long tones means easier blowing.
-Sharper, edgier sound.

Cons:
-Big sway down on control, uncontrollable altissimo.
-It looks sucky.
-Nooblike plastic material.
-Rusty ligature.


New mouthpiece (Hard Rubber Jodyjazz Classic Alto) - RM 540
Pros:
-Easy controlling, alot easier!
-Stronger sound, louder sound, brighter.
-Extremely versatile and great controlling for altissimo.
-Focused sound. No jumpings~
-It comes with a spoiler for even brighter and edgy sound! But with the price of control.
-Its shiny!
-Cool new shiny! Ligature :)

Cons:
-Requires more, more, more air as it has a larger tip opening (6)
-When spoiler applied, hard to control
-Expensive...

Thats all about it~
PS: I prefer NOT using the spoiler ;)
