This is an excellent mouthpiece. I chose 7 because that's the key I play on my alto. Soprano is a new addition to my repertoire for me. I believe I should have gone down to a 6 for this piece. It's a piece that's a lot of fun to play. Good timbre. In my opinion, the soprano sax is a difficult instrument to master. and-of- It's crucial to find a mouthpiece that you like. That isn't the case for me right now with this mouthpiece. So I went with the Meyer 6M for myself because it feels better and is more in line with what I'm used to on my alto (meyer style piece). But, for the time being, I'm going to save this for future use because it's still a great piece.
My daughter is a high-school musician who has advanced to the next level. I bought this mouthpiece and the same brand ligature after she was given a school soprano for a jazz band solo. It greatly aided her voicing and range, she said.
It goes well with number one. 0 reeds. This, along with my Ricos, are my go-to shoes. to mpcs. My other mpcs are generally darker and mellower.
Love it.
tune. On my soprano, I've tried a lot of mouthpieces, and they either work or don't work. They're either picky about reeds or have inconsistent tuning across the horn (my Rousseau 4R is an excellent example of a fickle mouthpiece). My tenor (T77 metal and T7 hr) and alto (A7 small chamber) are both equipped with V16 setups. I adore them - It's the same with my soprano V16 setup. I can use almost any reed with a diameter of 2 inches or less. 5 and you'll get the same elegant (but slightly bright) soprano sound. The Legere Signature 2 is what I'm currently using. It's awesome (although I think a 2. ) with a plain ol' Rovner lig. It's possible that 25 is a better match). I've gone back and forth between that setup and a Zz 3 and a Vandoren Optimum lig (perpendicular lines plate). On the S8, the Legere is no laughing matter - It's a great match across the board, and the tuning is spot on. ON. br>My V16 S8 is the ONLY soprano mouthpiece I can get altissimo out of, up to Bb, with either setup. Yes. The Bb scale is divided into three octaves. Yes, when I get up there, you'll need earplugs. And yes, it is performed on a soprano "without high G. "br>br>If you're on the fence about tip opening, you should give each one a try. I tried them out at a convention and fell in love with the S8, which had warm lows and just enough bite to pique an audience's attention without piercing eardrums; the S7 was a mediocre version of the S8, and the S6 was just boring - Despite the fact that it could be a great classical mouthpiece in disguise, my 4CM gets the job done in quartet, so I'm good there.
I love this mouthpiece; it sounds amazing, and everything about it is free blowing. The only drawback is that the legere reeds I use don't fit properly; they stick out a little from left to right, causing them to warp. It plays fine for about a day, but after that it sounds stuffy. br>br>If you're using a wood reed, go for it; I highly recommend it.
