Description
The New York Connoisseur Series alto saxophone mouthpiece by
Meyer Bros is a re-release of the iconic model that Cannonball Adderley played,
right down to the brass retention ring on the shank.
This mouthpiece is available in four facings: 5M, 6M, 7M and
8M. Meyer Bros New York and leading US Saxophonist Mike Smith have created the
perfect blend of flexible, warm, dark alto sax sound along with plenty of power
behind it.
As jj Babbitt themselves state: ‘the Meyer Bros NY Alto
mouthpieces are not duplicates or replicas, these are molded in the original molds
with the original cores and faced with the original facing cams. They are molded
and vulcanized exactly as the originals were…these are the real
thing.’
The hard rubber compound used in this re-release of the Connoisseur is
basically identical to the original models, with the same hardness and
density. The hand finishing is meticulously performed by the best and most
experienced specialists in the Meyer team. Each mouthpiece is then reviewed and
signed off by the premier ‘Connoisseur’ finishing craftsmen.
Tip Openings:
5M = 0.051mm
6M = 0.054mm
7M = 0.057mm
8M = 0.059mm
