Jonathan Mones on the JET Tenor 8

"My JodyJazz JET mouthpiece changed the game for my playing. I was strictly an alto saxophonist and couldn't find my sound on tenor until the first time I played a JET, and I immediately knew this was the mouthpiece for me. It simultaneously allows me to cut through a loud band, yet also play delicately and warm when needed. I can play any style, at any volume, and still keep the core of my personal sound thanks to my JodyJazz mouthpiece."
