It has a beautiful art deco look. There isn’t a lot of excess mass with this blank, which makes it versatile enough for general playing but with plenty of zing for those solo and lead parts![\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9201″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Big Daddy<\/strong>\u00a0blank provides the maximum amount of added mass, maximum efficiency, and produces the broadest core of sound. This blank is perfect for that dark, smoky jazz sound.<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9196″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The\u00a0Las Vegas Showroom<\/strong>\u00a0blank is\u00a0geared to the specific demands of commercial players performing in large venues where a good balance of efficiency and projection are paramount to good performance.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9202″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The\u00a0JT<\/strong>\u00a0blank has a look inspired by classic Jet-Tone mouthpieces. This blank is a perfect mix of weight: just enough mass to enhance slotting with a big core, but not so much mass that the sound won’t sizzle![\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9193″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The\u00a0Power<\/strong>\u00a0blank is popular with professional players. It is geared toward lead and solo playing with plenty of zing in the upper register, but with enough mass to give the sound plenty of core.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9197″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The\u00a0Spotlight<\/strong>\u00a0blank is a great choice for performers on stage and in the studio. It’s a lightweight well-balanced choice nicely suited for solo and lead parts. Perfect for those who want to sound like a legend and look like one, too![\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9195″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Two-piece mouthpieces<\/strong> are also available. These give the player flexibility to keep the desired rim and cup in the form of a top, but change the backbore to change the color and core of sound. It’s also handy to be able to use the same top with a flugel, cornet, piccolo trumpet or other backbore. All tops and backbores are interchangeable, and threads are Warburton compatible.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9203″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9205″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9204″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
