Legends JT RE:
Here are some specs on this mouthpiece: JT RE
This piece was inspired by a famous Jet-Tone mouthpiece played by the legendary Roy Eldridge. The rim on the JT RE is unusual. The inside diameter is small, at .550", but there is some undercut for chop room. The outside diameter of the rim is just 0.980", making it the most narrow rim in the Legends Brass catalog. The cup is shallow, with a depth similar to a Bach F. This mouthpiece was designed by scanning the original rim and cup, and adding the Legends Brass throat (#27), throat cylinder length, and Legends Manhattan backbore. The end product is a mouthpiece that can play in the upper register all night long, the way Roy Eldridge did it, with a focused, sizzling sound!
Legends JT RE Specs:
Outside Rim Diameter: 0.980" (24.892 mm)
Outside Rim Contour: Medium
Inside Rim Diameter: 0.550" (13.97 mm)
Inside Rim Contour: Round
Cup Depth: Similar to Bach F (extra shallow)
Throat: #27
Backbore: Legends Manhattan
This mouthpiece is kept in stock in the JT blank, which has a vintage look inspired by classic Jet-Tone mouthpieces. The JT blank is a perfect mix of weight: just enough mass to enhance slotting with a big core, but not so much mass that the sound won't sizzle! Other blanks are available by special order; see the buy page for more details. We can also further enhance this design by customizing it to your specific design needs. Please see Legends Brass Custom Designs for additional information.
