Here is a JodyJazz ESP 7* (.105) tenor saxophone mouthpiece.\u00a0 These are made by Jody Espina who has a huge variety of mouthpieces that he makes at www.jodyjazz.com<\/a>.\u00a0 I borrowed this from a good friend of mine.\u00a0 These mouthpieces come with what’s called a “spoiler”.\u00a0 It is a black wedge that you slide into the mouthpiece and it locks into place against the straight sidewalls of the mouthpiece.\u00a0\u00a0 Extending from the back of the wedge is a 1 inch long thin metal strip.\u00a0 From what I’ve read about these “spoilers’, the wedge acts like a temporary baffle that you can put in to brighten the sound and give you extra volume when needed.\u00a0 The metal strip acts like a secondary reed that vibrates and increases the sound even more. I’m not sure if this last part is true but I do know that it does what it is advertised to do.<\/p>\n

When the spoiler in inserted this piece doubles in volume and brightness.\u00a0 I use to own one of these about 7-8 years ago and I played it with the spoiler in all the time for all sorts of gigs.\u00a0 This was a great piece to go to for those loud R@B gigs where you had to cut through but it sounded just as good on the laid back jazz sets.\u00a0 Although I prefer a link type mouthpiece now,\u00a0 I like that you can get bright and loud with the ESP but it’s sound remains very fat!\u00a0 It doesn’t get thin at all.\u00a0\u00a0 I recorded two clips with this mouthpiece.\u00a0 One is with the spoiler in and the second one is without the spoiler.\u00a0 You can hear the difference for yourself.\u00a0 Let me know what you think.<\/p>\n
