Mouthpiece is
THE MOST important piece of equipment for the
saxophone player. Our Kessler Custom line of
mouthpieces are designed for specific styles of
performance and musicality. This model is our
"New York Short Shank". It is our premier "Professional
Jazz" mouthpiece for alto sax.
First, this
mouthpiece kit is a combination of 2 proven
vintage jazz designs rolled into one mouthpiece.
The mouthpiece
is made from a high quality true hard rubber
mouthpiece for that vintage lush tone!
Vintage
Design Inspiration 1 - Facing
We use
our professional vintage Meyer Bros. New York 5M
(equivalent to a modern day 7 at a .079" tip)
facing with a good rollover baffle (also
available in a Medium Long facing as well as a
.085" tip option). This is
a completely handmade facing and
is extremely responsive with a softer reed (2
1/2 for most players). It responds very
favorably with a great jazz reed like the
Vandoren V16 and the improved Rico Jazz Select
reeds.
Vintage
Design Inspiration 2 - Chamber
The
chamber is based on the vintage Meyer Bros New
York Medium round chamber. It produces a great
core tone with great projection!
Vintage
Design Inspiration 3 - Ligature
Lastly, we have made special arrangements with
Rico to be able to provide their high
performance "H-Ligature" (gold plate, with
fitted cap) with this mouthpiece. In retail
stores, this ligature and cap have a retail
value of OVER $50 -
but is included for FREE with our mouthpiece!
This ligature is a modern design based on the
vintage Harrison ligatures and offers excellent
reed vibration while maintaining a good reed
seal and a warm tone. This ligature is a GREAT
improvement from standard ligatures giving
longer reed life (from lack of center pressure
on the reed) and a richer tone with greater
presence to your sound.
In the end, this
mouthpiece and ligature combination is a sure
fire hit with any level of player and is
guaranteed to impress!

questions about this or any other mouthpiece,
