He&#8217;s been advertising a Floridated link on his site <a href=\"http:\/\/morganfrymouthpieces.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.morganfrymouthpieces.com<\/a>. I was curious about how they played so I sent him an email to see if i could try one. In looks it is very similar to my very good Florida Link that I play all the time. The baffle that he put in this modern STM link is as close as I&#8217;ve seen to my Florida&#8217;s baffle. The baffle work in this looks great by the way. Very smooth and natural. You can&#8217;t even feel where the metal ends and the baffle starts it&#8217;s so smooth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/public.neffmusic.com\/Floridated2.JPG\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/images\/stories\/easygallery\/88888894\/Floridated2.JPG\" width=\"400\" height=\"280\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/public.neffmusic.com\/Floridated1.JPG\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px initial initial;\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/images\/stories\/easygallery\/88888894\/Floridated1.JPG\" width=\"400\" height=\"280\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">To be honest, I had a hard time with the piece for the first few days. A size 3 reed felt too hard and stuffy on it and a 2 1\/2 felt too\u00a0 soft. i made the recording with a 2 1\/2 Java. It still felt a bit soft but got a nice clear tone from it. With the size 3 reeds I was getting a bit of a &#8220;tubby&#8221; tone from it(that&#8217;s where the midrange notes get a bit nasally sounding. That went away when I switched to the softer reed though. I think if I were to get one of these I would opt for a slighty larger tip opening. Maybe a .108 or .110. Check out the sound clip and you can judge for yourself how it sounds and compares to my other pieces. Right now Morgan has a JVW NY link of mine that he going to put a custom baffle in. I&#8217;m very curious to see how that turns out. Great Job on this Floridated Link!
