Kessler Custom
“New York Short Shank”
Alto Sax Mouthpiece
Mouthpiece is THE MOST important piece of equipment for the saxophone player. Our Kessler Custom line of mouthpieces are designed for specific styles of performance and musicality. This model is our “New York Short Shank” alto sax mouthpiece. It is our “Professional Jazz” mouthpiece for alto sax.
Facing Design
Our facing is based on a first generation Vintage Meyer Bros. New York (equivalent to a modern day 7) facing with a good rollover baffle. This is a completely handmade facing and is extremely responsive with a softer reed (2 1/2 for most players). It responds very favorably with a great jazz reed like the Vandoren V16 and the improved Rico Jazz Select reeds.
Chamber
The chamber is based on the vintage Gregory style round chamber. It produces a great core tone with easy projection.
Additional Information
Kessler & Sons Music offers a 3 day trial / return policy by default on instruments and mouthpieces. There are no cleaning fees or restocking fees (assuming that the item is returned in proper condition).
In order to protect the mouthpiece against scratches & marks when testing, we install a tooth patch before shipping. You are responsible for the condition of the mouthpiece while you are testing it. We highly recommend testing with a fabric style ligature to reduce the risk of scratching. Mouthpieces that are returned with irreparable scratches/marks might not be accepted for return.
Please read our terms & conditions (link at the bottom of the page) for full details on this policy.
