Tenor Metal Jazz . This is a very impressive new metal mouthpiece for tenor. It seems to have a nice compact and centred tone with a pleasant edge. It glides up to the altissimo very easily but doesn’t shriek like some mouthpieces do. Particularly I found attacking altissimo G (the first one, not the octave!) very easy - this note is notorious for ‘breaking-up’. It also has a good subtone and the response when tonguing feels very immediate. Tenor Metal Studio. Quite different in feel to the Jazz, the raised baffle gives a much more one-dimensional bright sound. I personally found it hard to control the squeaks in the second octave, but I’m sure you can largely get used to the way it responds. Although we are not listing the alto version, as it is just too bright, the Tenor metal Studio is workable, but is best kept for pop solo work! - Jim, saxophones.co.uk
