Awesome playing! So versatile!! I look forward to checking out your other vids. I play a t45 an old blue one and it plays really easy with lots of power .great stuff you are putting out!
I had a T97 in blue. Regret selling it. Longer facing so you could go with a stiffer reed. I have a t95 now, getting back into it. Usually 2.5 Royals but I put a 2 on it and it screams and whispers. I like how when playing it softly it doesn't lose its core sound.
The T 95 was the mouthpiece adopted by Bob Wilber as his favourite for playing on his vintage Conn Tenor and by Anti Sarpila his pupil but i found the aperture too wide for my embouchure .
Really?? I wasn’t aware that he played Tenor. I know him mostly for his soprano playing in the Sidney Bechet tradition. Great to hear! If you look on my channel I also have several videos paying tribute to the great Sidney Bechet
Thank you so much Tony, I ended up playing the T75. The T95 is just too huge. I like the fact that they are relatively inexpensive compared to other mouthpieces
Yes, I'm finding that with the Bari I've just bought. Did you try a softer reed on the 95? They both sound great. The Jody Jazz HR* is also on my radar
I like T75 which delivers a combination of dark and bright sounds; very balanced. T95 is always dark for some reason. What reed do you use in this video? Good video :-))
What reed are you using on them. Enjoy your ability to draw on different styles. I had them when they first came out in a green ebonite. And Vandoren is bringing that color out again.
@@bluessax5089 Wow its so cool!!! I roughly listening to your work of those Chinese melodies jazz, I familiar with all the melodies.. Its great you did this AWESOME work!!! I will listen to the tracks back detailly again....
@@hkjazzy that means so much that you’ve taken the time to listen to it! 🙏🏽👍🏽. I spent about three years doing nothing but transcribing and studying Chinese folk melodies (mainly from iTunes). I love the music very much. I wish more people had appreciation for such a beautiful and sophisticated art form
Hello, i've really enjoyed listening you in various styles :) Would you recommend t45 to someone who is switching from alto to tenor? (playing alto for about 3 years on a size 7 theo wanne piece). I am looking for a cheap, reliable and versatile mouthpiece but i guess 75 and 95 would be too open for me. Thank you
t45 would be similar to like a size 5 mouthpiece for tenor. I would recommend the T 75 and may be going with like a size 2 1/2 reed maybe? T45 could be cool too so don’t let me deter you.
Adrian Blackmon thanks a lot. I was kind of torn between the two but now I dig the T95. I went from playing a large chamber piece to a small chamber piece.
marinos neofytou I’ve been going back and forth between the two. My practice is pretty much a large closet so I probably won’t know what works better until I’m able to gig again
@@PedroMoraisSax for me, personally, I really like the jumbo java. Most of my gigs (when I had gigs) Were mostly played with a lot of amplification. So easy for a Saxophone to get buried, but not with the jumbo Java. This thing plays like a rocket. If I played mostly jazz, I would definitely go with the custom dark
Hey man need something for symph... Love the STM but too nice.... Need attitude.... You know what I'm saying... Had myself a select jazz and screwed up and wrecked it (I think that they're a bit soft) the 95.... Cool daddy'O let's get that sound out there... B-)
Symph? Like symphonic orchestra? I always just played a Selmer C*. I have been mainly playing jumbo Java and Syos. The Syos can have more attitude, the thing I like about that mouthpiece is it pretty much projects whatever you put in
Your playing is fantastic. Thanks for putting up the video.
Thank you kindly!
Awesome playing! So versatile!! I look forward to checking out your other vids. I play a t45 an old blue one and it plays really easy with lots of power .great stuff you are putting out!
I appreciate that Bigtime!! I try to offer my sincere unique perspective 😄🫡.
Thanks a lot! I call it “the gauntlet” as in Putting a mouthpiece through the gauntlet. I only play the T75 now. Sold the T95
Have you tried a vintage jumbo java? Id be interested to know of any differences between the old and new ones
I would love to try that! I have not yet though

Really enjoyed your excellent playing through so many varied styles of music.
I replied in the wrong place 🤦🏽♂️, thanks so very much! It’s a work in progress
Fantastic!!!!! Very good sound. Congratulations.
Wow! Thanks so very much!! I ended up playing the 75 instead of the 95. Lol.
One heck of a demonstration! You sound great on both. The T55 was too closed for me.
Thank you so much Tony, I ended up playing the T75. The T95 is just too huge. I like the fact that they are relatively inexpensive compared to other mouthpieces
@@bluessax5089 When you say 'huge', do you mean the sound or the opening?
@@stevepovey2489 Tip Opening, I had to huff and puff to get a sound out of that thing. The T75 still cuts but is much more focused.
Yes, I'm finding that with the Bari I've just bought. Did you try a softer reed on the 95? They both sound great. The Jody Jazz HR* is also on my radar
@@stevepovey2489 I sold it.
Everyone plays with that sound since the Whitney song. 😂
Actually bought the 95 on Amazon based on this review thanks
It projects amazingly!! I was able to play at for 2 weeks before the pandemic hit. Chris Bitner also plays one
Looks Interesting!
They both pack a wallop!!
I like T75 which delivers a combination of dark and bright sounds; very balanced. T95 is always dark for some reason. What reed do you use in this video? Good video :-))
They aren’t very consistent but I still roll with Jazz select 4 soft. Maybe I was on 3 med in this video. Thanks so very much. I agree.
What reed are you using on them. Enjoy your ability to draw on different styles. I had them when they first came out in a green ebonite. And Vandoren is bringing that color out again.
The background music in the end you put is called "Horse racing" traditional Chinese er hu instrument.
Yes indeed, I did a jazz album 💿 of all popular Chinese folk songs. It’s called “Jason gay dynasty”. You can find it on TH-cam
@@bluessax5089 Alright Ill check that out thx！！！

@@bluessax5089 You did tremendous good work with my RESPECT to say this!!!
Nice video, thanks for sharing!
My pressure! 🙏🏽
You do know there is a swing version of the Stars & Stripes, right? As I said in my first comment, you sound awesome!
I believe I’ve played the swing version once or twice in the Navy big band several years back! Man, I really appreciate it big Bro ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Boquilla T45 jumbo java es mas brillante que la T75 jumbo java?
I imagine it would be a bit brighter. I switched over to Jodyjazz DV.
They both sound great, which one do you prefer?
Thanks so much, at first I preferred the T95 but now I like the T75. It’s more focused.
@@bluessax5089 You can try the 95 with soft reed!
You are terrific. Thanks!
You are too kind 🙏🏽

Awesome review.
Adrian Blackmon thanks a lot. I was kind of torn between the two but now I dig the T95. I went from playing a large chamber piece to a small chamber piece.
@@bluessax5089 I agree! My thoughts were that the smaller sounded better to the ear, and appeared to be more crisp.
Adrian Blackmon man, you might be right 🧐🤨. I’ll try them both more.
Very good comparison!!! In my ears you sound much better on the T95.
marinos neofytou I’ve been going back and forth between the two. My practice is pretty much a large closet so I probably won’t know what works better until I’m able to gig again
I got Java T97 not Jambo . Does it fit for Rock and Blues?
I like most vandoren mouthpieces. The jumbo Java has a high baffle which sounds great on R&B and blues
where you buy ??
Really cheap on eBay 👍🏽
Just awasome 🔝🔝
Thanks Pedro! I like the T95 but it’s just so hard to blow!
@@bluessax5089 send it to me 😁
@@PedroMoraisSax Aw Maaaan, I would but I still want to see what it sounds like on a gig. I’ll hook you up if I don’t like it tho 😃
@@bluessax5089 whats your favorite HR mouthpiece? The jumbo Java, the jody Jazz HR or the custom HR?

@@patrickkelcey2435 you might like a high baffle mouthpiece by Syos
Me gusto mucho el sonido de la T75 ...
I love the T75. Perfect mouthpiece
Great!!!
thanks Anton! I love these mouthpieces
You've got that mouthpiece down.
I recently just switched to a Syos 😄
