What they say
Mouthpieces with shorter facings or larger tip openings are best suited to softer reeds. Longer facings or more closed tip openings are best for harder reeds. See the table below more more details, or contact our in store specialists.
Java and Jumbo Java
JAVA ebonite mouthpieces are suited to jazz, soul and funk. Similar in sound concept to a metal mouthpiece, with the comfortable feel of ebonite. The most hard-hitting mouthpiece of the line. Designed with a small chamber, a very high baffle and a large bore. Produces a powerful, aggressive tone with excellent projection, comparable to edgy metal mouthpieces.
