Neil Kitagawa on the SUPER JET Tenor 8*
The SUPER JET Tenor is a work of art and such a pleasure to play.
"I recently bought a JodyJazz Super Jet 8* mouthpiece from Cosmo Music here in Southern Ontario north of Toronto. I had been playing a Dukoff mouthpiece for many years and playing the Jody Jazz Super Jet made me realize that I should have switched to JodyJazz years ago! I had a problem though. The mouthpiece didn't seem to sit perfectly on the neck cork of my 1968 Selmer Mark VI Tenor. In order to keep my horn in tune, the Super Jet was only on the cork about 5/8 of an inch. It felt and looked unstable. I tried a few adjustments without much success so I sent off an email to JodyJazz to ask them if they had any suggestions.
Danielle Walker got back to me right away to ask me where I had bought the Super Jet so I told her. She asked if I could take a photo of the Super Jet 8* and send it to her which I did, I also sent her the sales receipt from Cosmo Music where I had bought it. She let me know that the Super Jet that I had bought was an earlier model with a short shank and the current Super Jet Tenor has a longer shank. All I had to do was send her my Super Jet 8* and Jody Jazz would replace it with a new long shank Super Jet 8*. So a few weeks after I sent off my Super Jet to Jody Jazz I received a new JodyJazz Super Jet 8* Tenor mouthpiece with a longer shank. Problem solved!
I cannot thank JodyJazz and Danielle Walker enough for their friendly quality service and problem-solving, it is outstanding!! And that doesn't include the quality of the mouthpiece itself. It is a work of art and such a pleasure to play. It feels like I'm cheating somehow because it has made my horn so much easier to play.
Thanks so much everyone at JodyJazz!!"
