Very great video! I could clearly hear the differences. I'm partial to the Contemporary and Studio Jazz. Which would you say is the closest competitor to your Beechler? I feel like it might be the Studio. Both sound like versatile, middle of the road, metal pieces
The beechler is a bit in between. The Contemporary has more fatness and body than the belite, more similar to the diamond inlay beechler. But the belite has a little more brilliance and pop than the studio. The studio is the easiest to blow though.
Thanks for the comparison..a question that came to my mind os how to not get deaf wihen playing such powerful sounds? (Considering that earplugs do hinder the ability to really feel the sound)
I’ve really never found it to be a problem since the bell/instrument in general is pushing the sound away from you. However, if you’re playing in a small room or in a close space with reflective surfaces, maybe that could be a concern. I often play with noise canceling headphones with a track in my ears, or with musicians earplugs that reduce the sound of decibels equally across the range. But I know what you mean.

After 3,000+ concerts/shows & many more thousands of rehearsals, my hearing still tests like someone less than half my age (I’m 60) because I have been using earplugs & noise canceling headphones for virtually everything except for the concerts. I wish you all health and joy. hug 🫂 from the road, Dr D p.s. Thank you Mr Clark for another insightful mouthpiece comparison. And, as always, thank you for your artistry and inspiration.

@@randalclarkmusic4333 thanks so much for your reply!
Studio Jazz has more body Sanborn is very bright and a bit thin Studio Jazz sounds like a saxophone
@@zangsax the studio is also the most fluid to play. Nice piece
