Tenor Mouthpieces
NEW Aaron Drake Bergonzi EB 7* (.105") with Ligature, Cap, Pouch and Case - $345
From Aaron Drake: "This model has been developed through a close collaboration between Aaron Drake and Jerry Bergonzi. It has taken over two years to refine the various design elements incorporated in this model. The fundamental design is based on Jerry's personal Early Babbit "EB". The classic "crescent" shaped baffle transitions to a recalibrated floor contour and ultimately a round large chamber. The tip and side rails are finished to the exact specifications that Jerry prefers - this slightly wider contour helps to generate a thickness and stability in the sound and attack."
NEW Aaron Drake Stubbie 7* (.105") with Ligature, Cap, Pouch and Case - $295
From Aaron Drake: "The Stubbie Vintage Resin Large Chamber Tenor model is based on the Vintage Dukoff design. This Model features deep undercutting on the side walls, a rollover baffle and a large chamber. There is a resonance and core to this design that offers a wide color spectrum and excellent projection characteristics."

NEW D'Addario Select Jazz 6M, 7M, and 8M In Stock! - $199
These are some of the best-playing and most consistent mouthpieces out there. This is a very precisely made piece that's easy to play and very comfortable. All three tip openings I'm stocking play extremely well. The tables are flat, the facings are even and smooth, and the tip rail is just the right thickness to have a bit of reed adjustment.
NEW Otto Link "Vintage Series" with Lig and Cap - 6*, 7, and 7* In Stock- $189
Not to be confused with the standard Tone Edge Tenor that has been available for decades, this "New Vintage" Series is entirely different. It has a nice little rollover baffle at the tip like a vintage slant signature Link to give it some color and projection. It still has the wide open large chamber but the added baffle makes it night-and-day compared to the standard modern Tone Edge which actually has a concave or reverse baffle. These really play!
NEW "Vintage Series" Otto Link Super Tone Master Metal - 7 and 7* In Stock - $299
These are very nice players and seem to be quite similar to the New York vintage Tone Master like what Trane used in the early years. It has a very large round chamber with a small rollover baffle and fairly short shank. This is a particularly good match for vintage horns that tune best with very large chambers, although they will play great on modern horns too of course.
Excellent JodyJazz DV CHI 7* (.108") with Power Ring Ligature, Pouch, and Case $475
Here's a really great playing piece with a a lot of power when you want it. Brightness-wise, it's halfway between the DV and the DV NY. It can be dark enough for straight ahead jazz and bright enough for commercial work. This is a very versatile piece that tunes extremely well and is very easy to play. There is no damage anywhere and the plating is still in good condition.
