Here in the US that kind of sound would get you kicked out of a concert band or classical situation. Sounds like a good mouth[piece for a newer player that wants a pop sound.
Rather hyperbolic. For a student who does concert, and jazz, but can only have 1 piece, it would be fine. He didn't demonstrate a classical excerpt, so there's no way to tell. No matter what, this would be a grand improvement from the doorstop mouthpiece they would be on otherwise.
@@Frygonz A small tip doesn't mean it is for classical. When he is showing the size of the mouthpiece you can see ridges down the baffle and it sounds like a small chambers. That "shark gill baffle" as Theo Wanne describes it, and small chambers are creating overtones the classical player doesn't want. I am guessing he manufactured to many of these and is trying to rebrand it. The sound would stick out in a concert band situation. For a newer player that wants a pop sound and needs a mouthpiece that is easy to control it may be a good choice. Jim has made it clear he is not a classical sax play, his classical career was on the oboe.
I've owned a water mouth piece for a bit over a year and it sounds much nicer in a classical setting. As it is designed for classical music, I did find playing low notes to be a bit harder at first but I fell in love with the mouthpiece pretty much instantly.
Finally someone reviews this mouthpiece!
I've been searching for a review of this piece for weeks thank you
Sounds a bit stuffy to me, but affordable is nice!
It did for me as well but I changed the reed to a different type of vandor and it sounded really good
@@arturomendiola7906what type of vandoren did you use?
was it the blue box?
What size reed should I use?
I watch my friend's video and cheer for you.
Sounds very good! Is there a tenor piece on the way?
I don't think so
Thank you
Will this work with a Rovner ligature?
ART material looks like ABS. I guess they took a page from Rico Metallite.

That's harsh man

Dude's obviously a jazz guy, can't really judge it's classical sound from this. Other recordings from classical sax players don't sound bad
What is the right reed numbering for the Water mouthpiece?
It was advertised as a classical mouthpiece, how come you didn't try it with classical music?
Cuz it’s kinda both. It works really well with classic and really good for jazz.
Just wish there was a tenor version
Price is?
is it me or It has a bit of a soprano thing going on?
🔥
This one sounds rather left from pleasant

This is marketed as a mouthpiece for classics playing and you don’t showcase that at all in your playing. Unfortunate
I thought the exact same thing
😃👍👏👏👏👏
