Description
“The Classic”: The warmest of 10mfan’;s tenor saxophone mouthpieces. Warm, classic, pure sound with good power and more warmth and smoothness throughout than his other tenor models.
The Classic is very flexible! It can get a classic Blue Note type of vibe. Getz, Mobley, early Sonny, etc. But you can also get more moder vibes like Chris Potter, Joel Frahm, Seamus etc. The sound is more focused than the Robusto model. The sound is even and pure top to bottom and projects well out to the audience. The Classic always retains a rich sound, no matter what volume level, full tone or subtone. This is an incredible straight ahead jazz mouthpiece. Fantastic altissimo for a lower baffle mouthpiece and the intonation is amazingly locked in. The Classic model is smoother and has less punch than the Celebration model thanks to a shorter mini-step baffle design.
DESIGN: This piece has a shorter step baffle, extremely scooped out sidewalls, as well as a higher floor than the Robusto, and a wider med-large chamber.
