Select Jazz alto line
Servette-Musique is proud to present the latest in great hard rubber mouthpieces for alto sax. This is the new Select Jazz Alto Sax mouthpiece by D’Addario. We have been play testing these pieces extensively and put them side by side with our best vintage-like mouthpieces and have been blown away every time. These pieces are made from high quality hard rubber. Their build features a medium opened chamber with a medium facing length, available in three tip openings:
D5M .073” / 1.86mm (classic 5 opening)
D6M .078” / 1.98mm (classic 6 opening)
D7M .083” / 2.10mm (classic 7 opening)
The Select Jazz mouthpiece plays with a strong and very rich core sound. Its full warmth is consistent and balanced across the entire range of the instrument. The low end response as well as the ease and clarity of the altissimo register is notably exceptional. Its superb flexibility allows the piece to be used in a multitude of musical situations. Rather you are looking for a warm jazz sound or are in need of more cut for lead work the Select Jazz is a fine choice.
Select Jazz tenor line
This mouthpiece was designed by Kevin Garren at D’Addario with the help of Jeff Coffin who plays on a custom Freddie Gregory Mark IV tenor sax mouthpiece. We’ve heard in fact that this new Select Jazz mouthpiece is modeled after Jeff Coffin’s own custom tenor mouthpiece. The series is available in four tip openings:
D6M .100” / 2.54mm (classic 7 opening)
D7M .105” / 2.66mm (classic 7* opening)
D8M .110” / 2.79mm (classic 8 opening)
D9M .115” / 2.92mm (classic 8* opening)
The D’Addario Select Jazz mouthpiece captures the feel and tone of legendary mouthpieces from yesteryears. Now, today’s saxophonists have a chance to discover for themselves the sound that, for decades, set the standard of jazz. The D’Addario Select Jazz mouthpiece brings forth a perfect union of tradition and innovation.
