Been to Jody Jazz shop and met Jody himself. Took my son there to pick out a mouthpiece. They had everything set up with multiple mouthpieces and some different reefs. Amazing man very nice and really helped us get a mouthpiece that fit my son and his horn
I loved the licks and thougts You played Jim. Like there was some genuine feeling there You could express and could be felt. That moment sounded great! I have this m-piece, but don't yet sound anything remotely as great :D Now I have yet another goal to aim for. So thank You for this video!
@@JiveDadson Nice pieces, I’ve heard good things about both of those. I have a slew collected over time as well, Berghoff 95/2, Otto Link ST 8*, Otto link Ny 7*, we’re always on the hunt.
Sounds good but a bit more muffled than I tend to like with a tenor or Soprano or Alto!! Been playing for over 50 years but like a brighter clearer and potentially more beautiful sound altogether. The metal mouthpiece gives my tenor that crisper more precise lower register than an ebonite mouthpiece does. And also makes my altissimo highs crisper and not as shrill as with the non metal mouthpiece!! But have been playing metal mouthpieces for 40 years or more and 20 years ago began using the Rico Plasticover Reeds, 3.5 , and will never play a regular Reed again!! My reeds typically last 9 months to a year before I have to replace it with a new one because they are so strong and moisture resistant, you really have to punish one to make it split or worse to the point you have to replace it!! But, all in all, Ebonite mouthpieces are best for those just getting started!!!
@@kevanhill9948 yeah has a lot to who you like too. I like Stan Getz and Joe Henderson the most. I feel good vintage hard rubber balances out all the metal in the saxophone. I like metal too but the softer side of hard rubber does it for me. That being said I wouldn't mind finding a good metal link or something, too!
@@stangetz534 I like listening to your music and Kirk Whalum, David Sanborn, Kim Waters, Tom Scott and one of my definitive favorites is the late great BOOTS RANDOLPH!!! So much of the way I sound I can attribute to listening to boots records every night as I went to sleep for at least 5 or 6 years while I was finding myself musically on the sax!! And of course, a lot of the great smooth jazz saxophonists that we've seen and heard!!
I have not done this comparison, so this is just a guess. From previous memories of playing the Theo, I would say the sound is going to be a little lighter and more contained in comparison to the Burnin which, as described, has the heavy core and the ability to kick out.
HR is dark. Burnin is dark when played softer, but gets bright when pushed. Not as bright as the JET, tho. Burnin also has more punch and projection. Check out Neff Music's review of this piece. People who've played both have commented on the differences
Wow! To me it sounds a little muffled but with a huge bright punch and clarity. Definitely an excellent sound for the Tenor sax!
Many thanks!

He is indeed very personable - glad he helped your son out!
Two years later and I can say I still love mine and is my only piece I play . I play all styles including playing in a big band . TRY IT !
Jay's fan here.
wow, that piece sounds fantastic! I own a burnin for alto and it plays great, I might have to pick up one for tenor too!
They're great pieces.

Well I appreciate this! And thanks for watching!
How do you like the mouth piece compared to others you own? Thanks.
What an awesome sounding piece. Quite a sounds. Hopefully we see a Bari mouthpiece at some point
Thanks! You never know...
I let a fellow section player try my backup . He ordered one !
I have several Jody pieces for my Tenor and Jay’s Burnin’ 6 for my alto But it looks like I’m going to have to get yet another! Nice presentation!
Cheers Rick!
You sir might have GAS (gear acquisition syndrome). Seek help.
@@JiveDadson I actually change my setup depending on which group I’m playing with and it I’m doing certain solos. Nice to have choices.
@@rickstokes2239 I have a Morgan 5ML, a Morgan 7M, and a Ponzol Custom (9? 10?). I could stop any time.

What opening and reed did you play Jim?
This is a 7* and a DSJ 3S Filed
I would like to see a review of those super inexpensive Chinese metal mouthpieces.
De manera que no se necesita usar boquilla de metal.?
bonjour avec quel type d'anche jouez vous merci ps j'utilise des vandoren java red 2.5
J'utilise des daddario hemke 3
How can I get one
Please, how would you compare the BetterSax Burnin' Tenor Mouthpiece to the Theo Wanne Slant Sig 2 ? The BetterSax Mouthpiece only comes in a 7* ?
I have not done this comparison, so this is just a guess. From previous memories of playing the Theo, I would say the sound is going to be a little lighter and more contained in comparison to the Burnin which, as described, has the heavy core and the ability to kick out.
How much different is this than the HR?

What sax is he playing?
That's my Autograph Tenor. (Andy Sheppard signature model). Jim
a little dark
Playing starts at 4:08
The worst branding ever
And why is that? 😂
@@jamiemeansjamesmusic Because Joseph Monica doesn't understand what a partnership project is.
I would assume he’s talking about the logo. Definitely not it’s strongest feature.
@@drewismynick True though I agree
i thought you were legit burning a tenor mouthpiece ;;-;
