Taking the essence of his original ring ligature design, Jody Espina has added greater thickness and heft together with more pronounced side curves and extremely contoured edges both top and bottom. Jody developed the original ring ligature to provide an elegant solution to the problem with ligatures that dampen the vibration of the reed. Like the original ring ligature, the new POWER RING’s™ self-locking CNC machined taper touches on three points only; the left and right side of the reed and on top of the mouthpiece. There are no moving or added parts, thereby increasing the efficiency of vibration. The increased mass and greater wall thickness of the new POWER RING Ligature, together with its more contoured shape, provides a more solid contact with the reed at the points where they touch. This allows the most freedom and vibration of the reed which in turn also increases the amount of harmonics present, allowing the fullest saxophone sound containing high, mid and low frequencies. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncreasing the efficiency of vibration.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best saxophone ligatures allow the reed the most freedom to vibrate. The more vibration there is from the reed, the more harmonics will be present in the saxophone sound, but increasing the efficiency of the reed's vibration will also make the mouthpiece feel easier to blow and provide more power.

however, it is a widely recognised technique in cymbal making, where the act of hand hammering changes the molecular structure of the metal and the resulting tone is one of more depth, density and shimmering overtones.  Jody found that applying these same techniques to a metal sax mouthpiece yielded similar results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJody's concept here was to produce a piece that sits perfectly in the middle-ground, not too dark and not too bright, therefore suiting the majority of players.  Even though it has a high price tag, in large part due to the specialist hammering techniques that are applied to each piece by master cymbal craftsman Paul Francis, you are rewarded by owning a mouthpiece that simply excels in every aspect of performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreviously this piece was made for a limited run of only 300 pieces, but specifically in a rose gold-plated finish, therefore appealing to collectors.  But the decision has now been made to open up the production on a permanent basis, only this time the pieces are being gold plated in order to distinguish themselves from their limited-edition counterparts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also seriously worth considering pairing this incredibly beautiful mouthpiece with Jody's equally mass-orientated ligatures, the Power Ring - he has specifically designed a hand hammered version to perfectly partner with this mouthpiece; these Power Rings have been proven to add further weight and density to the sound, not to mention their incredible aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Hand Hammered Brass, Gold Plated\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade In:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUSA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChamber:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Medium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBaffle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Rollover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLigature:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Not included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Ballads, Jazz, Pop, Soul, R\u0026amp;B, Funk etc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStaff review\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst up, this is a remarkable looking mouthpiece -

creamy and resonant; heavyweight at the bottom; full and striding as you ascend through the range of the horn.  It's not stuffy - there's a perfect clarity and richness.  When you really push it, the sound is bold and full, not with the same snap and pop as the DV, but enough to push through in most situations.  As Jody describes it himself, this is a great all-rounder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJim Cheek\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JodyJazz","offers":[{"title":"6 Star","offer_id":45098138304749,"sku":"JJHHT6X","price":779.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"7 Star","offer_id":45098138337517,"sku":"JJHHT7X","price":779.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 Star","offer_id":45098138370285,"sku":"JJHHT8X","price":779.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0301\/6081\/4139\/files\/jodyjazz-hand-hammered-tenor-saxophone-mouthpiece-735003.jpg?v=1714167073"},{"product_id":"ergosax-tenalto-saxophone-support","title":"ERGOsax -

the weight is an obvious advantage, but when it comes to sound, you can argue that the sound of a Low Bb baritone is more free-flowing and nimble.  It is certainly easier to play more rapid passages without the same demands on the breathing systems that a Low A model will present us with.  The debate is open!  However, whatever your stance on the matter is, you now have a choice, and the Eastman EBS253 represents one of the only choices of Bb baritone at this price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial: \u003c\/strong\u003eBrass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish: \u003c\/strong\u003eLacquered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey Touches: \u003c\/strong\u003eAbalone inlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck: \u003c\/strong\u003eEastman standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngraving: \u003c\/strong\u003eNone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase: \u003c\/strong\u003eEastman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouthpiece: \u003c\/strong\u003eEastman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in: \u003c\/strong\u003eEastman's Chinese factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree Professional Set Up \u0026amp;

it can take a toll on the right arm, and if this is your first outing on a soprano why not start out curved, where you can let the neck strap do all the work for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to this, there really aren't so many curved sopranos out there, and by producing one at this sweet price point, I think it will be a very attractive proposition.  It blows incredibly well, it's highly responsive and, crucially for a soprano (particularly around this price point) it's IN TUNE!  Ergonomically everything is laid out well.  My only slight gripe would be that I had the tendency to foul the key arm to the low B key with my E key finger.  On some curved sopranos the bell keys are moved to the opposite side of the sax to avoid any conflicts in this area.  BetterSax chose to keep the traditional modern right-hand-side bell key look. This may be fine for most, and I'm sure I would soon get used to it by adapting the angle of my middle finger to accommodate (coming in at an angle).  It's also a good way to make you play with the best technique - spider fingers glued to the sax!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll in all, this curved sop is a great addition to the Classic family.  And we should spare a shout-out to the Classic mouthpiece (made at the Babbitt factory) that comes with it.  Considering it's a budget piece, it's made to a very high standard producing a tone full of depth and precision.  I would happily gig with this mouthpiece over and above a number of higher-level ebonite pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJim Cheek\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BetterSax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55142895059317,"sku":"BS-SS-11-DL","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0301\/6081\/4139\/files\/the-bettersax-classic-curved-soprano-saxophone-4152930.jpg?v=1764039810"},{"product_id":"the-bettersax-baritone-saxophone","title":"The BetterSax Classic - Baritone Saxophone","description":"\u003ch4 class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto;

the low A key is slender and easy to manipulate, the table key cluster is small and set close to the Left-hand main stack, the low Eb\/C is similarly accessible in relation to the Right-hand stack.  The overall key action is light, and close to the body, allowing the player to freely manoeuvre around the instrument with ease.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto;

Given its price point - not too cheap, but certainly not in the realm of the pro horns, I believe it offers a lot.  I believe a great many players look to take up the bari because they are curious about the experience of playing such an instrument, or they are looking to play it in some kind of band, perhaps in conjunction with alto or tenor.  For this, it's not always necessary to break the bank and go for those high-end instruments.  It's true that on a Yani or Yamaha you will notice an extra notch of power and projection and refinement in mechanism, but again the law of diminishing returns applies - you can spend half (or less) the money and get a baritone that has an extremely mature, and in my view, vintage-sounding tone.  The BetterSax Classic is also highly playable - the mechanism is solid and the keywork is comfortable with a great action.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eGiven the success of the alto and tenors, and the trust the sax community holds in Jay Metcalf and the BetterSax products, I can see this baritone being an extremely popular addition to the range.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eJim Cheek\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BetterSax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55142910329205,"sku":"BS-BS-11-DL","price":3299.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0301\/6081\/4139\/files\/the-bettersax-classic-baritone-saxophone-4713268.jpg?v=1752807036"},{"product_id":"saxarm","title":"SaxArm - Saxophone Support","description":"\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eCompact Support System for all saxophones\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003eAre you tired of getting aches, pains and strains from practising your sax?\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eWell, the Saxarm has got you covered.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eDesigned for use with soprano, alto, tenor and even baritone, this support system is compact and practical, attaching with ease to most chairs or stools.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eTherefore, it is the perfect addition to your home studio where you are trying to put in the hours but wish to do so in complete comfort, rather than placing the strain on your back or neck.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEqually, due to it’s portability, it can be used on the go in any gigging situation.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlexible Positioning and fully adjustable\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003eThe arm allows players to position their instrument either directly in front or to the side, accommodating different playing styles and preferences.

One of the reasons for this is that it allows for much better breathing. As you practice from a seated position usually the instrument will begin to feel heavy and over time, the weight on your neck leads to you leaning forward. This in turn puts pressure on your diaphragm. If your diaphragm is not allowed to release it is much more difficult to breath properly. The SaxArm forces you to keep your back straighter while you play, therefore releasing some of the pressure on your diaphragm. This allows you to take in more air but also to breath out in a more controlled way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eErgonomic Design \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe SaxArm provides an ergonomic solution to a long standing problem.

But now they have taken things up a gear (or several) with the release of the Session, entering the professional market.  The Session is the culmination of 3 years of careful Research and Development, truly dialling in on what is important to sax players, and in doing so, incorporating some extroadinary design elements that make this model stand out from the crowd.  Made available in three stunning finishes, the Session offers great value for money - positioned modestly within the intermediate price bracket, it competes very well at this level...and beyond!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAt the heart of any saxophone of note is the thing that matters the most to sax players: the sound.  And the starting point for a great sound on a sax is the neck.  BetterSax have incorporated several elements to the design of the neck which combine to elevate the sound and response to another level -  in combination with a unique bore taper, there is a specially design tone ring right at the outset of the neck, alongside a 'resonance brace' on the underside.  But the real magic happens at the far end of the neck.  In an effort to stay true to the original conical bore design of the saxophone (as described by Adolphe Sax way back in the beginning) BetterSax have designed an \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003einternally conical tenon joint\u003c\/strong\u003e that allows the air to flow from the neck to the body without the usual disruption that normally occurs due to having a \u003cem\u003ecylindrical\u003c\/em\u003e 'bump' in the airflow at this point.  And the finishing technical touch is that the neck design has a seamless internal fit within the body tube, avoiding the potential 'nodal disturbance' that can so often occur at this crucial junction on a saxophone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBut it doesn't just stop at the neck design. Like any good quality modern sax design it uses modern production techniques, however BetterSax have incorporated a strong element of traditional craftsmanship, all in the name of producing the best sound possible.  The bow and bell are hand hammered, a technique that is known to add resonance to the brass.  \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFurther to this, the posts and keywork are hand soldered and fitted by hand.  And finally each Session is hand-engraved, making each instrument unique.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe inclusion of blue steel springs and Pisoni Pro pads elevates the setup to a professional level, giving the player a comfortable a fluid key action with longetivy built in.  The body design also includes a 'mini ribbed' construction, a compromise between fully-ribbed and direct post-to-body construction, allowing the sax to have natural resonance while also retaining a robust build.  The tone that results from all of this is one of focus and resonance, allowing the Session to lean in any stylistic direction whether it be jazz, classical or pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinishing Touches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Session includes a Custom thumb-rest - using an investment-cast technique where molten metal is poured into a specially designed mould, the resulting thumb-rest feels way more comfortable than the generic thumb-rests that your average saxophone comes with.  The neck-strap ring is made from sturdy nickel silver to ensure that the neck-strap hook \u003cem\u003enever \u003c\/em\u003ewears through it, a phenomena that happens on standard brass rings after a decade or two!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Package\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe BetterSax Session comes kitted out with a stylish l\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eightweight backpack-style moulded, shaped case.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eAnd finally, BetterSax have partnered with JJ Babbitt to create a special-edition mouthpiece based on their favourite \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003evintage Meyer, and this mouthpiece is included with the Session.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey are hand-finished, like their other models, and individually play tested to ensure perfect playability\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e: Brass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish\u003c\/b\u003e: Matt Dark Gold Lacquer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Touches:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eMother of Pearl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e: Better Sax underslung custom design!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eEngraving\u003c\/b\u003e: Unique hand-engraving\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase\u003c\/b\u003e: Stylish shaped case with back-pack straps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMouthpiece\u003c\/b\u003e: Custom-model Meyer, designed at Babbitt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMade in:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e China\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFree Professional Set Up \u0026amp;

Big, fat and warm with enough power to do a variety of jobs, but sweet and dark enough to play beautiful ballads.

the bell mount rotary lock system works neatly and the gooseneck adjusts cleanly and with stability.  A fantastic mic for the price, and definitely worth checking out the bundle option with Cloudvocal
