<\/a><\/p>\nKanee Vintage New York Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece<\/strong><\/p>\n I received a 6 and an 8 tip opening for these alto\u00a0 saxophone mouthpieces.\u00a0 Each saxophone mouthpiece looked great out of the box.\u00a0 The rails were even and thin and the tip rails matched up to the shape of the reed tip perfectly.\u00a0 These seem to be made from a different hard rubber than the Kanee custom models that I have reviewed before (At least, it looks different anyways.)\u00a0 The custom series hard rubber is shiny and smooth whereas the vintage series has a texture to it.\u00a0 They look similar to the texture and feel of the Aizen mouthpieces that I have reviewed previously.\u00a0 They actually have a bit of that vintage hard rubber smell to them.\u00a0 I’m not sure what that smell is from but I have smelled it here and there on a variety of vintage mouthpieces.\u00a0 If you put the Kanee mouthpieces up to your nose you can smell a similar smell.\u00a0 The New York model has a medium baffle that slides down into a medium chamber.\u00a0 The inside does indeed look similar to a New York Meyer type of baffle and chamber.<\/p>\n I played on the 6 tip opening first with a Woodstone 3 reed. The tone was bright and focused sounding.\u00a0 It had plenty of volume when I pushed it and had a tone that was reminiscent of a great bebop sound to my ears.\u00a0 It reminded me of a Phil Woods, Richie Cole type of sound.\u00a0 More on the brighter side of the tone spectrum.\u00a0 I like how the notes really sung out and seemed to resonate fully.<\/a><\/p>\n
