What Is the JET Baritone Saxophone Mouthpiece?

The JodyJazz JET Baritone Saxophone mouthpiece has a clean, focused sound with strong projection, cut and ‘bark’ and yet can be played with a warm versatile feel. The JodyJazz JET Baritone Saxophone mouthpiece is free blowing, easy and fun to play mouthpiece that captures the full range of tonal qualities of the instrument. The JodyJazz JET is excellent for Big Band, Rock, Funk, Blues, Smooth Jazz and Latin Music, Reggae, Ska, Funk, Hip Hop, Top 40, Duranguense, Merengue, Salsa, Cumbia, Compa, Tejano, Musica Popular Brasileira. We think that many Baritone sax players will be surprised at how well it plays in a big band due to its blending capabilities. In other words, the JET is a great saxophone mouthpiece that seems to appeal to a very broad variety of players. The thing to remember is that no two players are alike so that it’s all about finding the mouthpiece that responds to your morphology (physical makeup). Morphology means that you have a chamber in your mouth and throat which reacts with the mouthpiece so some people sound better on a small chamber mouthpiece like the JET and some people sound better with a larger chamber piece like the JodyJazz HR*.

If you like the Baritone sax sounds of Doc Kupka of Tower of Power, Ronnie Cuber, Bruce Johnstone, Nick Brignola, Jeff Coffin of Dave Mathews, Roger Lewis of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band or Jason Marshall, then you are sure to love the new JET Baritone.

Four Goals in Creating the JET Baritone Saxophone Mouthpiece

1. BRIGHT - To create a bright free blowing mouthpiece that is versatile while having more projection than most mouthpieces.
2. ALTISSIMO - To create a mouthpiece that easily produces great altissimo notes. The altissimo is actually helped by our new shorter facing curve, which is brand new to the JET. Most baritone players don’t deal with altissimo as much as they do on the other saxophones but those players who like to play altissimo on baritone will be amazed at how well those high notes will speak.
3. GREAT PRICE - To make an affordable sax mouthpiece that can be made with the same cutting edge technology as our metal sax mouthpieces, but costs much less than a metal mouthpiece.
4. GREAT QUALITY - Each mouthpiece is individually play tested by Jody Espina or one of our professional saxophonists on staff to ensure a perfect seal with the reed and proper response throughout the range of the saxophone. We demand and achieve the most rigorous quality control possible.
