RETRO REVIVAL Super D New York 8 - mouthpiece for tenor saxophone

RETRO REVIVAL 

"SUPER D" New York

- mouthpiece for tenor saxophone -

Tip Opening: 8 - (.110)

Retro Revival "Super D" Tenor Sax model is a stunning replica of an early 1950’s Otto Link “Double Band ” Super Tone Master, once played by Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Johnny Griffin, Dex, Michael Brecker and many others back in the day.

 The “Super D", is brilliant, full bodied and packs a punch. It screams in the altissimo, plays the softest sub-tones with ease and articulates fast at any dynamic. Very flexible, this mouthpiece lends itself to any stylistic approach. Every aspect of Retro Revival “Super D" has been meticulously duplicated from our own perfectly mint Florida as well as the darker New York original “Double Ring".

Available with tip openings from a 6* to 8*, the Florida and New York "Super Retro" have the same chamber design, the only difference being the baffle profile. The lower baffle New York version is gold plated, very balanced, centered with plenty of projection. The Florida version is Rhodium plated with a higher baffle for players wanting a bit more zing. We believe the tonal characteristics and response of both these classic designs will impress any serious player.   

With caring precision, the process of replication starts with hand drawings, precisely measuring every parameter, translating these numbers into computer code to produce 3D images, then CNC milled in one piece from the highest quality bar brass. Each piece is Precision Crafted, bite plate assembled from Hard Rubber, hand polished and plated, and and most importantly every mouthpiece is play tested before shipping.

This mouthpiece comes with a complimentary ligature & cap.
