This is a sound clip of my main soprano saxophone mouthpiece for the last 6 years. \u00a0It is a Selmer Super Session J mouthpiece that I \u00a0bought from WWBW. At the time that I bought this, I also tried an I tip opening. I remember feeling like the I gave me a Kenny G type soprano sound (more of a pop kind of sound) and the J gave me more of a \u00a0Coltrane type soprano sound. I went with the J after playing them for about a week. \u00a0Up to this point in my life I have played very few soprano mouthpiece. Before the Super Session J I played on a Claude Lakey for about 16 years. The only reason I played on that was because it was the only soprano mouthpiece the store had. \u00a0The Selmer Super Session was a much better mouthpiece for me compared to the Lakey.<\/p>\n

The thing I really like about the Selmer Super Session is that it has that big hollow type soprano sound. I love it for jazz playing. \u00a0It has loads of volume and doesn’t get too bright like my Lakey did. \u00a0It is much more reed friendly than my Lakey was also. I still have my Lakey in a box so maybe I’ll put a clip of that up also. \u00a0I’m not very experienced at trying soprano mouthpieces so I’m finding that it’s hard to make a call on what I think of the sound of a piece. On tenor and alto saxophone \u00a0I can play for 10 seconds and know if I like a mouthpiece or not. \u00a0On soprano, I don’t feel like my concept is \u00a0shaoed enough that I know exactly what I like or don’t like. \u00a0I’m sure as I try more mouthpieces that that sound concept will come into focus more clearly for me. \u00a0Let me know what you think of the clip. \u00a0I would appreciate any comments you might have. \u00a0 \u00a0Steve<\/p>\n
