Keith from Cincinnati on the HR* CUSTOM DARK Tenor 7
"My New Favorite Mouthpiece"
"I fell in love with JJ mouthpieces several years ago and own several
Until today, my favorite was an HR*, 7 tip opening with a 2 1/4 Legere reed on a Selmer Reference 54 tenor. This setup plays in tune across the register which is great. I love the rich relatively dark low end of the horn. Having said that I have always felt the upper register was slightly brighter and a little "out of balance" with the lows.
Like I said, that was until today when I received my HR* Custom Dark with a 7 tip opening. With everything else exactly as described above I now have a horn that still plays in tune across the entire instrument. The lower register is slightly darker than the HR* but the upper register is much darker and in perfect balance. This is a great mouthpiece and a perfect companion for my 7* Giant which if my second favorite mouthpiece for those times when I want (need) a brighter sound.
Thank you for delivering on a promise. I'm a very happy customer."
