Vibrato A1S with different mouthpiece - Rico Royal Graftonite C7

The Graftonite C7 makes the horn sound somewhat dry. As I stated before, the A1S reacts quite else than anything I played before concerning mouthpieces.
The Rico Graftonite C7 has a rollover baffle and normally is a wailer. It isn't though here.

Mouthpiece: Rico Royal Graftonite C7, reed Legere 3
Vibratosax A1S: Michael Ausserbauer

Hey Thanks a lot, whats the difference between the letters? cause I was planning to buy an A5 mothupice for Jazz but I dont understand the Letters difference.

@richvai : The letters from A to C indicate the chamber size. A has a large chamber and produces a somewhat more classical and rounded sound.. C has a baffle and produces a sharp and edgier sound suitable for rock and jazz. B is inbetween. Tip openings go from 3 to 7 with 3 indicating a small tip opening and 7 a relatively wide tip opening. The more open the mouthpiece is the harder it can be to control but the more volume you can get out of it. Basic but very rough and incomplete description.

Didn't expect such a lovely sound from a plastic sax, miles better than Ornette Coleman!!

Hello, What Rico Royal Graftonite mouthpiece would you recommend for Jazz? Thanks a lot.

[0bluemike]

@richvai : Hi, depending on your preferences the B and C Graftonites make good jazz maouthpieces. B7 or C7. Also available a bit less open: B5 and C5.
