“It looks square at certain angles… and circular in others…”
You’ve done it, Dan! You can tell the philosophers you’ve finally found a square circle!
I also fell in love with this Select Jazz Mouthpiece. I have been using Otto Link Vintage HR (90th anvi. model) for a while, but this one sounds much cleaner and sharper sound that I wanted. Good thing of this model is very consistent as it CNC machined and not hand finished. Once I like it, I can buy off the shelf anywhere and anytime just select the same part numbered one.
Sounds beautiful
I like the sound of the Jazz Select over the Link. But either way, it's good to know that companies like them and Vandoren are making mouthpieces that you don't have to spend as much as you did on the Link to get a sound that's arguably better, and according to you here, easier to play. Thanks for the review!
links are very inexpensive.
Bought one of these new and the facing was completely uneven. If you're looking at this I suggest the Morgan Excalibur model. There more expensive but the consistent is amazing in all of them due to the way they make them. Also they sound great! You could pick them up on Ebay for less than what this cost and you wouldn't be disappointed.
Wow. Thanks for sharing Dan. I have been looking for something to complement/backup my Jary Customer #7 HR Link mouthpiece. This is definitely a candidate
+jay Cart the best value mouthpiece you can buy
I was playing a Jody Jazz Jet 8 but looking. I bought this in the 8 and absolutely love it. It's a keeper.
hey, i have a JET 8 tenor too, what reeds do you use?
I have just bought one. Played it against others including a Theo Wanne slant signature, All very interesting. The Theo Wanne is excellent (in my view) but not better than the D'Addario. Both similar for me to play but the Wanne is nearly twice the price. I bought the D'Addario and am using it with a Francois Louis ligature. Very pleased so far.
Dan I just purchased that mouthpiece 2 weeks ago. Any suggestion on ligature?
You sound great Dan. I tried the D'Addario Jazz Select tenor based on yours and several other positive feedback. While not bad by any means, especially for $199, I passed on it. It was actually brighter than my metal piece and I wanted something a bit darker as a second. It did not sound bright in your mouth. Also, and this is documented on the web and supposedly acknowledged by D'Addario- the bore is too small and it's something they "...may address...' How do you precision model Jeff Coffin's mouthpiece, even proudly put the specs on the box's diagram, and then use a cork-killing super-tight bore? Keep up the good videos.
I liked the D'Addario Jazz select 7* I had been playing a Jody Jazz hard rubber 7* the low notes pop out nice and easy and plays up and down the horn smooth the sound seems more focussed
Hi Jonathan the D’Addario is a brilliant mouthpiece for the price.
are the rails scooped
not bad at all they made mouthpieces I didn't like maybe I'll try one
Dan, would you please tell me what model/size F.L. lig you are using on select jazz mouthpiece. Thanks Alan Speller
Hi Alan I’m not sure. It’s the largest one I could get for tenor as it is the one I played on my HR link for years. I went to the shop to get one that would fit the link.
The select jazz sounds more contemporary to me and I think I prefer the links sound, but for that price not bad at all.
as a 15 yr old american learning how to drive, it scared me to see the drivers side in america ( passengers side in Britain) empty. It scared me half to death ( I don't know why because i wasn't in the car with you but i got a kick out of it.) i love your videos & subscribed to the channel.
You're learning to drive at 15?? Glad you are enjoying the channel
I love my D9
PaddieFunk how do you think of tenor D6M for USD110?
Let's see what the follow up is after a month or two or three.
Though I am just a hobbyist and a novice, what I've found with different mouthpieces is that there is a honeymoon phase... and soon the player sort of seems to acclimate to the piece and over time sees the benefits and limitations of the piece.
I think it's one of the reasons people buy so much gear. They get a piece and think it's god's gift to the saxophone and then over time realize it's not. Then off to look for the next one...
this wasn't meant for you Dan. But a response to the other commenters.
Try one yourself, then post back. You are commenting on a piece you know nothing about. I bought one and it is every bit as fun to play as Dan explains in the video. I rarely even try something new because I choose not to and the cost is prohibitive but this one is my new main tenor mouthpiece. It's not because someone else plays it, but because it is truly a great mouthpiece. Sorry but don't lump us all into your self-loathing mouthpiece hell.
Hey Greg,
I was not commenting on the piece.
But rather the everyone's tendency to love a piece when they first try it.
That was all.
I'm not in mouthpiece hell and my self loathing has nothing to do with music or mouthpieces. Hahaha...
I have one piece that I've sort of fallen out of love with, but do really like still. And another that I really love. That is all. 2 pieces.
Sorry that I came off overly cynical. didn't mean to be.
I guess, I just see a lot of gear hunting... that is all.
have a good day sir.

You mentioned ease of producing bell tones on your new piece; I've been playing tenor for over 30 years now and I still often chicken out on starting a phrase with a low B on gigs (it remains an unreliable note for me to produce cleanly; especially on sub tone ballads). I think that possibly, even after all these years maybe 80% of the problem is psychological. Do you (or anyone else out there) have similar issue with any particular note? Great channel btw. Thanks :)
Hi Warren I'll answer this in an upcoming Vlog Q&A - but the short answer is I used to, but getting the right reed and ultimately lots and lots of long tone practice.
Hi Dan and thanks so much for the reply. I'm looking forward to the Q&A vlog. No need for you to reply again but I've been starting my daily practice for 30 years with long tones on every note from low Bb up to altissimo D (that's a high as I go). The reed (/mouthpiece) suggestion is a good one. I do find that trying to find a combo that allows easier bell tone production but without sacrificing clear and solid altissimo is always a compromise and i do tend to go wider tip/harder reed so I can cut through loud bands on gigs. S'pose this always has to be a bit of a compromise and it probably does mean my bell tones suffer, although it is only low B that I've always had this issue with. Anyway' thanks again for taking the time to reply and I'll wait for the vlog. Have a good weekend and thanks for the work you put into your vlogs; they're both entertaining and bloody useful :)
Greetings from Malaysia!
Thanks for a very helpful video.
Which one would you suggest for me (Alto Sax).. D5M or D6M? Used to play using Yamaha 4C.. But that was quite sometime ago. Stop playing alto for years.
Note: I am currently using a Berg Larsen metal mouthpiece (95/0 SMS) on my tenor sax. Selmer C** on soprano sax.
Go for a D6M
Perhaps the Rico may have played easier than the Link? I liked the Link better.
Good review.. I thought you were going to listen then critique.. Otherwise, it was a good reference.👍
Hi Dan. Do you have the music to the song you often play on sax called pig in lipstick or something similar. Can I purchase it from you. Great blog by the way. Cheers Andy
Hi Andrew answered it in the vlog - send me a DM and I can email you the chord chart.

Zak felt the Jazz select had a slightly more full sound compared to the link
That should be I felt not Zak predictive text at work again sorry
You sound better on the Link
I bought the 9 Jazz Select Tenor medium chamber and was more than disappointed … just saying
