18KT HGE TENOR SAX MOUTHPIECE

SKU: JB1600

(Video Demo by Paul Perez JB PRO Models)

Providing outstanding benefits for a contemporary jazz musician, the JB PRO II 360 (TAM)  is the ideal choice for players seeking a powerful cutting, huge presence, jazz styled mouthpiece.

It is designed for the saxophonist who seeks a mouthpiece that is comfortable, somewhat narrower, and feels streamlined in the mouth.

Designed by master artisan and mouthpiece model maker Gary Sugal, it incorporates the powerful legacy and performance of the original 1991 Sugal JB Duck Bill model into the JB PRO II. Most noticeably, the JB PRO II features a straight bite plate rather than the original duck bill curved bite plate.

It features Sugal’s precision machined parallel Mini Tracks™ which focuses the air flow, economically into the chamber, allowing the metal to breathe or expand for maximum resonation.

This model also includes a snow-hill roll-over baffle, a compound radius, and a bullet designed chamber.

Unlike competitive models, there is no back pressure required to play the mouthpiece as it is totally free–blowing. Articulation is spontaneous and continuous to respond without any lag.

Every note from low Bb right into the upper register of the horn is achieved effortlessly. The player will easily “pop” altissimo notes with little or no effort.

The JB PRO II is 18kt (HGE) Heavy Gold Electroplated to last literally for decades.

Note: 14kt, 18kt and 24kt are only color or shades of gold and should not be confused as to an actual gold content amount. Industry gold plating is measured in the amount of mills that are adhered via the plating process on to the mouthpiece.

The standard for gold plated mouthpieces in the industry is a minimum of 25 mills. While most other makers do not come close to reaching even the standard, all of Sugal’s  gold plated HGE mouthpieces have always exceeded the standard for long life and durability.

The mouthpiece is meticulously hand finished and play tested for superior quality by Gary Sugal, prior to leaving the factory.
