<\/a><\/p>\nWarburton A Series 8 Degree Tenor Sax Mouthpiece The Warburton 8 degree mouthpiece looks great.\u00a0 The first thing I noticed when I opened up the package was that it was one of the longest tenor mouthpieces I have seen.\u00a0 It is really long. The table itself extends a good amount past the reed.\u00a0 This is\u00a0 a good thing for those of you who are worried about where the mouthpiece sits on the cork.\u00a0 This mouthpiece pushes\u00a0 about 3\/4 to the end of the cork on my sax depending on the model I am playing. The 8 degree was about 3\/4’s of the way on the cork.<\/p>\n Like I said earlier, it looks great.\u00a0 The baffle, rails, chamber and tip are perfect.\u00a0 The sidewalls of the mouthpiece are straight.\u00a0 The beak of the mouthpiece is probably one of the lowest that I have played in all my years.\u00a0 You can really feel the vibrations through the beak of the mouthpiece, even with a patch on it. I really liked that.<\/p>\n Here is what the Warburton website has to say about this mouthpiece:<\/p>\n “The 8 degree model is aimed at the contemporary player looking for power and projection without sacrificing fullness and the ability to play softly with a beautiful tone. Many Jazz players are surprised at how full the sound is and should try this model in addition to the 12 and 16 degree models.<\/em><\/p>\n Highly recommended for players of:<\/strong> R&B, Pop, Smooth Jazz, Gospel, Blues, and Funk.”<\/em><\/p>\n When I played the mouthpiece for the first time it had a very focused and brighter sound.\u00a0 It wasn’t overly bright but it was on that side of the spectrum that’s for sure.\u00a0 It was very smooth up and down the range of the horn.\u00a0 You can hear on the sound clip how I’m doing a bunch of fast runs on it.\u00a0 It just seemed like it sounded smooth to me and it was a lot of fun to do those on this mouthpiece.\u00a0 Even though it was brighter to me it had a very full sound to it.\u00a0 It wasn’t thin sounding like some high baffled mouthpieces can be.\u00a0 If you listen to the clips you can hear a certain fuzziness to the edges of the sound.\u00a0 That’s what I heard when I played it.<\/p>\n Warburton A Series 8 Degree Tenor Sax Mouthpiece At the end of the clip I go into some more standard jazz phrasing\u00a0 (There Is No Greater Love) and you can hear how the mouthpiece sounds in that setting.\u00a0 It does very well in that style also.\u00a0 I think the larger 8* tip open brings the reed away from the baffle enough to balance the brightness and power of the mouthpiece with a nice full almost smoky sound to my ears.\u00a0 If you want to find out more about these great mouthpieces visit the Warburton Website<\/a> for more info.\u00a0 Let me know what you think below.\u00a0 Thanks,\u00a0\u00a0 Steve<\/p>\n
