JodyJazz JET Bariton Sax Mouthpiece

What Is the JET Bariton 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 Bariton 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.
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 insure 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.

The JET Difference

1. 5 Axis CNC Machining - Allows for extremely precise manufacturing and repeatability.
2. Hand Finishing - Expert hand filing to create the perfect tip rail, baffle combination.
3. Unique Design - The unique inner shape of the JodyJazz JET Bariton Saxophone Mouthpiece gives it a unique sound and feel that combines power, fullness and ease of play.
4. New Facing Curve - A shorter facing curve allows for great altissimo.

Special Notes on the JET Bariton Saxophone Mouthpiece

Due to the shorter facing curve on the JET, a softer reed than you might normally use could be appropriate. This is because the reed actually has less length in which to vibrate. This doesn't hinder playing at all, in fact it makes the JET one of the greatest altissimo pieces of all time. Altissimo still works great with a little softer reed. These are my observations and how I like to play the JET. For example, on a JodyJazz DV Baritone 7 I play a Rico Jazz Select 3M and on the JET I prefer a 3S. The JET is still free-blowing but I think the JET's shorter facing curve makes a difference with the reed. The main message is that anytime you are trying a new mouthpiece two things are very important: finding the right reed for the mouthpiece and making sure that while you try the mouthpiece you are in tune. Don't assume that it will go on the neck in the same place as your previous mouthpiece. In fact the JET pushes on further than many mouthpieces. I love the JET and I hope you will too.
