The proportions that are found in the Stradivarius Violin, the Nautilus shell, the dolphin, human beings, the Ancient Pyramids and much more, are used for the first time on a saxophone mouthpiece. These proportions result in a chamber that increases harmonics making the sound bigger and richer.

This may or may not be the case for you. The great benefit of this is that a harder reed lasts longer and a harder reed helps the altissimo range. For this same reason, you may want to try a slightly more open tip than normal. For example, Otto Link #7 players will usually play a DV CHI 7*.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTip Opening: .108 (7*)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Palladium-plated metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Accessories: Silver finish H-Ligature, Cap, Deluxe Pouch, Metal Canister\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: JodyJazz\u003cbr\u003eModel: JJDVCHT7X\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I242600-N-1-WHXD\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 859668002211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
