Meyer Connoisseur Bari Sax Mouthpiece
“Band of Bros” Series
Following the success of recent vintage inspired, performance focused mouthpiece models, JJ Babbitt is expanding their top line of Meyer mouthpieces known as the “Band of Bros” Series. This line started with the original Meyer Connoisseur alto sax mouthpiece and is now expanding in to a complete line. Now available as the Meyer Connoisseur Bari Sax mouthpiece, this new line is bringing back the performance expectations that players have when they think of Meyer!
The Meyer Connoisseur bari sax mouthpiece is based on the design concepts employed on the alto sax models. The signature brass ring being employed on the Connoisseur lineup is where the “Band of Bros” branding came from for Meyer.
Extra Steps
In addition to the original manufacturing tools, the Connoisseur models feature a rubber that has an enhanced vulcanization process the more closely emulate the original hardness/density of the original mouthpieces. Increased time in the hand finishing of these models yields a higher quality mouthpiece that brings out the performance of the original design.
Included with the Connoisseur mouthpiece is a replica of the original Bonade style ligature.
Free Legere Signature or American Cut Reed!
Kessler & Sons is always trying to provide you with the best value possible. So with the purchase of a new Meyer Connoisseur bari sax mouthpiece, we will include your choice of strength on the Legere Signature Series or American Cut reed for free! Please note of course, that we do not allow returns on reeds, so if you return the mouthpiece for any reason, we will deduct the cost of the reed from the refund. So if you want, we can ship the mouthpiece first and then after you decide to keep it, we can send the reed of your choice later.
Additional Information
Available Sizes
The Meyer Connoisseur Bari Sax Mouthpieces use a different facing model system than traditional Meyer models for bari. Meyer bari sax models tend to be smaller in tip opening than the Otto Link system that many people think of today. However, the Meyer Connoisseur bari models follow the Otto Link facing chart using the more traditional tip openings thought of today by most players on bari. They are available in 4 models and only the 1 chamber. They do use a shorter Meyer style facing length however and will play a bit brighter and more focused than the Otto Link counterparts.
- 5 – .090″ Tip
- 6 – .100″ Tip
- 7 – .110″ Tip
- 8 – .120″ Tip
Trial & Return
Kessler & Sons Music offers a 3 day trial / return policy by default on all in stock mouthpieces. There are no cleaning fees or restocking fees (assuming that the item is returned in proper condition).
When we ship the mouthpiece, we install a blue protective film over the logo to help protect the logo from scratches, but this does not 100% protect them.
We also install a tooth patch before shipping. We recommend leaving these items on the mouthpiece during the testing phase and only to remove them after you have made the decision to keep the mouthpiece.
Please read our terms & conditions (link at the bottom of the page) for full details on this policy.
Sealed Mouthpieces
Brand new from Babbitt, all Meyer mouthpieces arrive to us with a paper tape seal on the box. However, it is our responsibility as a dealer to make sure that you are getting both the mouthpiece and quality that you are paying for! As mentioned above, we place a tooth patch and protective blue tape on every mouthpiece we ship out, in order to assist in scratch prevention while you test.
This means that Kessler & Sons does not ship a sealed Meyer mouthpiece. We do this as well to make sure that the right mouthpiece is in the box! Companies can make mistakes and we have seen boxes contain the wrong mouthpiece in them (we had several of the NY Meyer 6M that actually had a standard Meyer 6M in the box instead of the NY model). So we make sure that the mouthpiece is the correct mouthpiece and that the facing of the mouthpiece is true so that you can have a great playing mouthpiece right out of the box!
