<\/a><\/p>\nKanee Custom V7 Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece <\/p>\n I enjoyed playing this mouthpiece as much or maybe a little more than the O7 model.\u00a0 It does indeed have a brighter slightly more modern sound to it.\u00a0 If you look at the baffle in comparison to the O7 model it is a higher rollover baffle that is longer than the O7 model.\u00a0 The description on the brochure says it has a medium chamber but my V7 seems to have a larger chamber than the O7.\u00a0 The difference is that the O7 has a baffle that seems to continue through much of the chamber.\u00a0 The V7 mouthpiece has a baffle that seems to stop at the beginning of the chamber and then open up to a larger cavernous chamber area.\u00a0 It reminds me of some NY links and Theo Wanne large chamber mouthpieces I have played.\u00a0 This combination of a higher baffle but larger chamber is an interesting mix.\u00a0 You have to have the balance just right so that the baffle gives you some nice power and brightness and the chamber fattens up the sound and makes it a bit darker.\u00a0 Kanee mouthpieces did a great job with this one. As with the O7 model the tip, rails and chamber work look excellent.\u00a0 The curve of the tip is a very close match to my Java reed tip curve which is always nice to see.<\/p>\n I used the same #3 Vandoren Java on this mouthpiece that I did on the O7.\u00a0 I also used the same Marc Jean ligature.\u00a0 If you listen to the clip I think you can hear how the tone is fat but has a bit more punch and brightness than the O7 model I reviewed yesterday.\u00a0 You can hear it get brighter as I go up.\u00a0 I went into the altissimo for a second and you could hear that funky brightness hiding in the sound just ready to burst forth.\u00a0 This is a great example of a terrific all round piece.\u00a0 Usually I feel the most comfortable on these type of mouthpieces as they let me go where ever I want instead of trapping me with a certain sound.\u00a0 This mouthpiece actually remind me a bit of a Freddie Gregory hard rubber Mark IV I used to have and loved.\u00a0 I ended up selling that piece after concluding it was too bright for me.\u00a0 I’ll have to play this one some more to see where i can go sound wise with it. \u00a0 Check out the sound clip and let me know what you think.
