I'm a 4 year tenor saxophonist and I've used a Masteller mouthpiece since I've
played tenor sax (3 years). I'd prefer using a hard rubber mouthpiece but metal
mouthpiece would be nice to try. I don't have any experience with other
mouthpieces and I've never played a metal mouthpiece. I own a Conn 10M Tenor Sax
(made in 1952), I use #3 Rico Royal reeds and I own a Masteller size 4
mouthpiece. I want a brighter mouthpiece more suitable for jazz soloing in a 3
or 4 member ensemble. Does Masteller have any nouthpieces to suit my needs?
Don't listen to Lera, she doesn't have any idea what she is talking about. A Conn 10M is far from a student model, it's a very nice pro horn, assuming it's in good condition.
So, I take it that you decided to keep the 10M instead of a YTS-23? By the way, a YTS-23 is a student horn.
I personally like large chamber vintage mouthpieces on a vintage horn. If you can't find a vintage piece that you like, try a Morgan Vintage Mouthpiece. You can find one at www.junkdude.com
Go back to SOTW and search "10M Mouthpiece". You will find alot of information.
I kept the Conn instead of trading it for the Yahama. I'm glad I did because my Conn has a better tone and even though it has more resistance I love the sound. I'll try the Morgan but in what facing?
I like my Mayers mouth peace for Jazz but It could sound different with a horn you have. Evry horn is made different and evry player uses different tehnics.
