These mouthpieces are created on a state-of-the-art 5 axis CNC machine and then meticulously hand finished and play tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HR* soprano mouthpiece is a round chamber mouthpiece which provides a round sound in contrast to a more focused sound which a square chamber provides. This allows the HR* to sound very pretty and the medium chamber allows the piece to have very good projection when pushed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlayers who now or in the past have played Meyer, Otto Link, Bari, Vandoren, Yanagisawa, or any of the straight ahead hard rubber jazz mouthpieces out there will be sure to love the JodyJazz HR*. The differences come from JodyJazz’s particular facing curve, the exact size and shape of the chamber and their commitment to quality control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMany different sounds are possible on the JodyJazz HR* hard rubber soprano mouthpieces. For example: For a classical style, try the number 5 model with a relatively hard reed. For a sound similar to Branford Marsalis, use a HR* 6*–7* with a medium reed like you might normally use. Play softly and you will hear that beautiful sound with a hint of air in it. Play loudly and you will get the power you need. These are just the broadest suggestions. The real answer about sound is for the player to experiment and find out what works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJodyJazz has found that many players who have been playing a hard rubber soprano sax mouthpiece for many years are in need of a replacement (due to wear and tear) and do not know where to turn. They have had many converts who came from playing the most popular hard rubber jazz pieces. These players are almost always surprised at the quality and consistency of JodyJazz hard rubber soprano mouthpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThree Goals in Creating the HR* Series of Saxophone Mouthpieces\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo offer the most traditional style of jazz saxophone mouthpiece: round chamber hard rubber, and demand and obtain the most rigorous quality control possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo create a free blowing hard rubber mouthpiece that allows the lowest and highest notes to speak with equal ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo make a hard rubber sax mouthpiece that can sound beautiful, but also give good strong projection when necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow Does the HR* Do It?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGenuine hard rubber formula\u003cbr\u003e\nRound medium chamber\u003cbr\u003e\nEven rails and tip\u003cbr\u003e\nIndividually play tested by professional sax player\u003cbr\u003e\nUnparalleled quality control\u003cbr\u003e\nHand finished baffle, tip rail and table\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaterial: Genuine hard rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChamber: Round medium chamber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTip Opening (7): 0.070 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncluded Accessories: Deluxe mouthpiece pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLigature Included: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: JodyJazz\u003cbr\u003eModel: JJHRS7\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I242774-N-3-WHXC\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 859668000750\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.
