This is a new mouthpiece I received in the mail last week from Aaron Drake. Drake mouthpieces have been around for a number of years and Aaron is best known for his Ceramic mouthpieces which I have reviewed here before. Recently, he has updated his website www.DrakeMouthpieces.com<\/a> and come out with a new line of mouthpieces made out of “vintage resin”. Aaron sent me 3 mouthpieces to try:<\/p>\n

VRJT – Jazz Tenor <\/strong>(passaround model)
\nSSJT – Son of Slant <\/strong>(medium chamber)
\nNYJT – NY Jazz tenor<\/strong> (prototype – unbanded)<\/p>\n

This review is of the NY Jazz tenor mouthpiece.<\/strong><\/p>\n

NY Jazz

\nIf you look at the picture of the 3 mouthpieces above, the NY Jazz tenor mouthpiece is the mouthpiece on the right without the gold band.\u00a0 The beak has a lower profile to it than the Son of Slant mouthpiece that I reviewed. The body of the mouthpiece is also a bit narrower and is similar to\u00a0 the size of his Ceramic mouthpieces.\u00a0 This mouthpiece seems to have a slightly higher baffle and smaller chamber than the Son of Slant mouthpiece.<\/p>\n

To be honest, this was my favorite to play of the three mouthpieces.\u00a0 It just played effortlessly for me and if I blew\u00a0 harder it was very easy to take it into a loud, brighter R@B type sound.\u00a0 I like being able to do that on a gig.\u00a0 I decided to play a little of “My One and Only Love” for all 3 mouthpiece clips so you can compare the sounds of each.\u00a0 You can hear that it is quite a bit bright than the “Son of Slant” clip.\u00a0 I found it to be easier for me to bend the notes and express myself on this mouthpiece.\u00a0 I really felt more comfortable on the lower beak profile of this mouthpiece.\u00a0 I think if I could play it longer I have a feeling this piece would smoke on a gig! Great job Aaron on another great mouthpiece.
