Reply To Post by phathorn (165 posts) 19 years ago Re: Your Jazz Saxophone Set-Up They are a little darker than a meyer, but the 7* is still very open and full. Closest timbre that comes to mind is Johnny Hodges. I really dig em! They are, unfortunately, no longer made.

I play jazz tenor and alto on a Caravan mouthpiece with #4 traditional (blue box) Vandoren reeds. I realize that this is traditionally a classical or"legit" set-up, but it works for me. Quality always supercedes quantity.
