Kanee “Florida” Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece The Kanee Florida model I have is a 7 tip opening.\u00a0 It came in a nice wood box with a sliding top on it.\u00a0 Inside the box, the mouthpiece is well protected by cushioning on all sides of it.<\/p>\n The mouthpiece looks to be very well made.\u00a0 Like I said\u00a0 above,\u00a0 the rubber isn’t shiny and glossy like the Kanee “custom” models but has more of a brushed look to it.\u00a0 I personally think that this look is pretty cool although the rubber does seem to mark easily from ligatures and mouthpieces patches.\u00a0 The table looks flat and the rails and tip look even.\u00a0 The shape of the tip is very close to\u00a0 the shape of my Vandoren Java reed tip which is a good sign.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kanee “Florida” Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n This mouthpiece has a nice and high rollover baffle right at the tip that is very short and then descends down into the medium to large chamber.\u00a0 The baffle and chamber look to be very similar to my Early Babbitt Florida link.\u00a0 To my eye they look to be very close.\u00a0 The only difference that I can see is that my EB Florida link looks to have a larger bore to it.

\nThe mouthpieces played well and I found it smooth and even up and down the horn.\u00a0 The high rollover baffle at the top of the baffle gives the tone\u00a0 some nice highs and power.\u00a0 It has a bit of a “zing” and “sizzle” to the tone.\u00a0 The low notes are nice and full sounding.\u00a0 They have a bit of graininess to them that makes the tone more complex sounding to my ear.\u00a0 It was easy to subtone down low.\u00a0 I usually prefer a 7*-8 tip opening so this mouthpiece felt a tiny bit more closed than I am used to but it played great.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/public.neffmusic.com\/KaneeBaffle.jpg\")
