Mr. Tenney has quite the reputation for his mouthpiece work. \u00a0I&#8217;ve had a few students that have played his pieces over the years and when I think of each one of them I think about how good their tone was. \u00a0 This mouthpiece takes some getting use to as most mouthpiece do . The baffle area is very low and straight down into the chamber. \u00a0It looks like it continues right through the chamber right up until where the bore starts. There seems to be a very slight rollover right at the tip. \u00a0I really like the low baffle. It seems to let you shape the sound to your choosing and I noticed that when I varied reeds on this mouthpiece it had a huge impact on the tone.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/public.neffmusic.com\/Tenney Jazzmaster Top.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border: 0pt none initial;\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/images\/stories\/easygallery\/88888894\/Tenney Jazzmaster Top.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"280\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/public.neffmusic.com\/Tenney Jazzmaster 1.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px initial initial;\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/images\/stories\/easygallery\/88888894\/Tenney Jazzmaster 1.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"280\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nThe reed I chose for this clip gave it a bit of a brighter sound but is still nice and rich sounding. \u00a0I like a richer tone on the tenor saxophone. \u00a0In general, when I played a 2 1\/2 Java it was much brighter and when I played a 3 Java it was a bit darker and richer sounding. \u00a0I preferred the 3&#8217;s. \u00a0I will say that this piece does require a bit more air and support to fill up the horn. \u00a0Some other piece I have played I just slapped on and played. When I put this one on I couldn&#8217;t get a lot of volume out of it but as I got used to it and blew more air through it it really started to open up and get some volume. \u00a0 I would love to take this mouthpiece on a jazz gig. \u00a0Let me know what you think of the clip. \u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-899-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/Tenney%20Jazzmaster.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/Tenney%20Jazzmaster.mp3\">https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/Tenney%20Jazzmaster.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"><input id=\"gwProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/> <input id=\"jsProxy\" onclick=\"jsCall();\" type=\"hidden\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the &#8220;Doc&#8221; Tenney Jazzmaster 7* tenor saxophone mouthpiece. \u00a0A friend of mine on the internet was kind enough to send it to me so I could put a clip up of it.
