What Is the ESP Soprano Saxophone Mouthpiece?
The JodyJazz ESP is a 24kt Gold-Plated metal soprano saxophone
mouthpiece with flawless workmanship. The workmanship is evident in the beautiful thin
side and tip rails and hand cut baffles. This metal sax mouthpiece is CNC machined from
a solid bar of the finest virgin brass, meaning no seams! The ESP is completely hand faced.
Classic Straight-Ahead Sound
The chamber is big and fat, and the sound is unusually full.
Compared to many of the high baffle metal sax mouthpieces, the JodyJazz ESP Soprano will
deliver a round full sound with more bottom end without sacrificing high end or ease of playing.
Three Goals in Creating the ESP Soprano Saxophone Mouthpiece
- To create a metal soprano saxophone mouthpiece that has a deep chamber yet does not play stuffy.
- To give the mouthpiece the ability to play modern styles when the removable baffle is
inserted in the mouthpiece and traditional styles when the removable baffle is out of the mouthpiece.
- To make a metal soprano saxophone mouthpiece with a slimmer outer shape
and without a duckbill beak. This shape is more comfortable for some players.
