Description
This mouthpiece was inspired by a vintage model 1A made by Ray Amado. Consistent with the vintage naming system, the ‘A’ rim is somewhat flat with the highest point being closer to the outside. It’s an incredibly comfortable rim. The cup is medium shallow (comparable to a Bach D). The entrance to the throat is open so it yields plenty of air flow and a nice big sound. The Legends JT blank is a perfect balance: enough mass to enhance slotting with a big core, but not so much mass that the sound won’t sizzle! Although this design was inspired by a vintage piece, this is not an exact copy. This piece has the Legends enhanced throat (#27), enhanced throat cylinder length, and the Legends S backbore. This model is well suited for legit or lead playing. Slotting and intonation are excellent with the JT 1A.
