"With a medium-low baffle and a small tone chamber, the Traditional/Contemporary mouthpiece produces a centered, bright, unstuffy sound and when pushed becomes increasingly brighter. Even throughout the registers and easy to control, this mouthpiece is versatile enough for acoustic jazz, funk, or R & B.”
Review from Ryan Knight
"I've had my Barone TC tenor mouthpiece for almost 6 months now and I'm absolutely in love with this thing.
The piece really projects well and doesn't thin out at all...It's got a FULL husky tone that is very flexible...The piece has very little resistance but it's not a high baffle piece...It looks kind of like a Berg Larsen-type baffle but plays like an awesome early babbitt Link STM/vintage Berg combination if you can imagine that...
Piece works with just about any reed I put on it...super reed friendly...
The piece is neither too short nor too long so it fits modern horns AND vintage horns intonation-wise...This piece is super easy to play in-tune with...makes my life easy...
Piece subtones very well and altissimo screams out easily...
I'm not sure about the new price on these and I'm not sure Phil is even making them anymore but I hope so because I think people would love these...I know Phil likes his HOLLYWOOD model better--I've yet to play that model--So for now, I'm hooked on this thing...
I recorded a couple videos with this thing to demonstrate a little of what it can do..I'll post the link a little later once I upload it...
Once again, Thanks for the amazing mouthpiece Phil!"
