Dear Kyle, This is Jody and I wanted to thank you for the review. I don't know if you know this but I'm from Tampa also. And seeing you play the subtone made me think of my first private teacher from Tampa, Junie Ferrell. He was such a great player and a kind and generous teacher. I was so lucky to have him and hearing you... I wish he could have heard you. He has been gone for so many years now. If you get a chance, go to Paragon Music store and ask the owner Dick Rumore about Junie. I'm so glad you like the mouthpiece, you sound great, and stay in touch. Jody Espina
I live in port St Lucie Fl. and I play tenor, alto and soprano sax. I just purchased two of these mouthpeices. One tenor and one alto. They are everything you say they are. I totally agree. I did switch to a rovner ligature because the stock ligature allowed the reed to slide a bit whenever I tried to reposition my mouthpiece.
It seems like this piece is not all in your face! It might be hard for me to control at first if I buy it! I would buy the tip opening 6. For Alto if I get it
Adam Gilbert For sure! I am using an Antigua Winds Pro-One tenor, Antigua Winds Neck Strap, Vandoren zz 3.5 tenor reed, and a Rico H Ligature! Thanks for watching!
Hi! Im thinking about buying this mouthpiece just wanted to ask if you use a special neck for the mouthpiece, i tried a 7* one in a shop and the tone was very high. It was maybe 20% higher then my old otto link on the same place. Or what have you experienced in this topic?
Hi Kyle, I’m still searching for a Mouthpiece like this with good bright projection but also warm bottom. It feels like the Jody Jazz Super Jet Tenor has it. My question for you. Is that a result of the Tip opening 8* and did you ever tried the 7*? I tried it a year ago and I remind that the 7* had been more aggressive then that what I hear from you. By the way great sound 👍
Hey you sound great, a noob question here. I'm comfortable with ottolink 7* opening. With high baffle MPC this super jet, is the effort of blowing same as low baffled ones? Or you think I might be able to go up to 8* and be OK?
@@seanwintersax well one, puffing your cheeks is painful after an extended period of time. And two when you puff your cheeks yes it relieves pressure on your lip, but that also means you lose embouchure control, which messes up tuning and tone control. And what do you mean by double G?
@@nathanhoover3636 Altissimo G an octave above the first altissimo G. Maybe gets some years playing under your belt before trashing this guy for puffing his cheeks. He plays really well and clearly knows what he's doing.
@@nathanhoover3636 I can tell you are in high school. Look at some videos of the great tenor players. Michael Brecker, Bob Berg, Sonny Rollins, Joe Lovano, Chris Potter. They all puff their cheeks at certain spots. It does not hurt. It's for an effect and helps you facilitate the upper register of your horn. Also in order to subtone you HAVE to puff your cheeks out. It is a requirement for that technique! Your high school concert band teacher isn't doing you any favors.

Tampa. The Uni. of South Fla jazz band. Awesome memories back the early 70's.
what breand of a reed do you recommend for this moutpice, I can not play it so far !!!!
the only way is with fiber reeds #3
Is there any way to do a trial with these pieces?
Nice sound man! My dad lives in Lake Wales. Next time I go down to visit him, Im gonna hit that music store in Tampa...

I just bought the super jet and got it today, I will play it tomorrow
Vincent Gaglio awesome! Let us know how it sounds
Great sound!
Sirvalorsax Thank you so much!!
Hi. What brand of your saxophone?
Thanks.
Just ordered a 9*. Looking forward to giving it a try. Nice!
Got a #10. Nice!
Amazing playing!
What's up fellow musician. I'm currently playing with the Jet tenor. Thinking about purchasing either the super jet or the DV metal.
Currently got a Geoff Lawton 5 on tenor but not getting on with currently using a legere American cut 2 will a synthetic reed be easy on this ?
It seems like this piece is not all in your face! It might be hard for me to control at first if I buy it! I would buy the tip opening 6. For Alto if I get it
Can you post the rest of your setup that you are using in this video? Sax, neck strap, reed, etc?
Adam Gilbert For sure! I am using an Antigua Winds Pro-One tenor, Antigua Winds Neck Strap, Vandoren zz 3.5 tenor reed, and a Rico H Ligature! Thanks for watching!

The short shank caused it to be very sharpe on my tenor.
Sounds nice man!
Nice sound

Very impressive, I was surprised to hear how much like you sounded like Coleman Hawkins on Body and Soul!
Duncan Cofell Thank you so much! It is really achievable on this piece for sure!
Killer subtone !
looks exactly like JJ jet, but in metal, I have JJ jet and looks the same
You're better than Kenny G and Jack Black combined. Im amaze
I'm going to take it from those comments you know this guy personally! Haha Kenny G, shoot me now!
That ligature is crap really bad
Sounds great but puffing your cheeks like that has to HURT. Don't keep doing that to yourself bro
Puffing your cheeks has nothing to do with biting. In fact it takes pressure off of the the lips. Try playing a Double G without puffing your cheeks.

@@seanwintersax I can play that just fine without puffing my cheeks. And I'm in high school. On tenor sax
