The Johannes Gerber NY Jazz alto saxophone mouthpiece takes you on a journey back to the 1960's.

The sound can be characterized as a medium-bright traditional alto sound with clarity and projection. It offers enough power to compete with smaller chambered designs, and retains body and depth to the sound vintage mouthpieces are known for. The sound is warm when played with relaxed air, and brightens up as it's pushed harder.

The medium height roll-over baffle and slightly concave side-walls squeezes smoothly into the bore area. Compared to the NY Bros, the NY Jazz is slightly brighter with a noticeable edge when pushed harder. It suits a wide range of applications, but is most at home in big bands, ensembles and when doing solo work.
