I have owned two of the three Sanborn and Super Jet. I did not like the Drake Sanborn MP it is a very restraining mouthpiece for me but I love my Super Jet it’s free blowing yet it has versatility and it’s extremely comfortable in comparison.

I sold my Sanborn piece recently. I owned it for two years but it just wasn’t my taste.

Good choice. The Super Jet was the one I liked best out of the three.

I currently own the Jody Jazz SuperJet and the Drake David Sanborn piece both with tip openings of 7. I am partial to the Drake Piece. The Jody Jazz piece will receive a revisit though because it sounds the best watching this video. Thanks guys for the vid.

Thanks for checking out the video :)

Haha! At 05:49 Sam visibly recoils when Simon blasts the Super Jet!

[@dawkesmusic]

Pretty sure some permanent damage was done to Sam's hearing in this video ;-)

[@HoangTrinhSax]

that what im looking for!! thanks alot!

[@ketong71]

Nice! Would have loved to hear the RetroRevival Eric Marienthal alto mouthpiece in that mix and see how it compares to these three. Great stuff!

[@gen_music]

Drake Sanborn piece beats theme all 😊 really hand made piece with dedication and love by Aaron Drake not just CNC random piece

Hello! A very fun video! I'm going to admit my bias straight off. I own one of these three, it's the JJ super jet and it's a 7. I ordered the gold plated power ring ligature along with it. After working my way through one of those Vandoren reed cards at 2.5, I really prefer the red box Java reeds over the other 3 types. In comparison, it sounded unpleasant with either of my Legere reeds, which suit my ebonite mouthpieces much better. That's just my experience with it. 🎶🎷

[@simonbsax]

The Super Jet was my favourite of the three, so I think you made a good choice. I've started using a Vandoren Jumbo Java A45 and that works really well with the new French Cut Legere, so it might be worth checking those out; although I do find that I have more stamina with a Green Java 3!

The Theo had a sweet soul thing.

[@rpj-sax4lyfe]

The fire is nice… however not the flagship model.. should of compared the Durga against those other two… and u would of seen the thinner rails you were looking for.

[@chuckwhite368]

The JJ is very good for a specific style imho.

[@JoseCalidonio-hf5sc]

Hi great sound

[@tobiassaxophon1288]

How would you compare the Durga to the sanborn mouthpiece in brightness, response and feel?

[@JoseCalidonio-hf5sc]

Hi great sound
