Typical Jody Jazz: The baffle centers the sound and I prefer it over the setting w/o the baffle, but I don't really like either one. Too bright and upper-midrangey for my taste. Several of my sax students have bought these and their band directors have requested that they DON'T use them because they're too loud and don't blend with a section. We're talking high-schoolers here... I think the problem is that Jody's m'pieces are like musclecars and can be too much to control for anyone who's embrouchure is not so well developed. The reason the kids like them is that they're incredibly powerful, in tune and blow altissimo like nobody's business, so they make average players feel like above average players... I suppose that's a good thing, but I still don't like the tone of Jody's stuff very much.

Not right now. All I have for metal are some great links but I'm not willing to part with any of them yet. Steve

I'm not sure what you are asking? The most I have ever paid for a mouthpiece is 850.00

I have tried them in the past. They were OK but I wasn't blown away by the one I tried. It didn't have that core sound I love in old Selmers.

SBA is Super Balanced Action by Selmer. It was made before the Mark VI. If you do a search you can find the RS Berkeley website.

Yes I would get the RSBerkeley over a Selmer 54. I've played a number of the Selmers and didn't really like them.
