The Bamber is great. My Bamber jazz mouthpiece produces a big, brilliant and edgy tone. Perfect for all types of jazz and popular music, and not very expensive :smile: It's only like $100 on WWBW.

Yeah, I think i'm going to get one. They just don't seem to common/popular, but they sound good.

My jazz set up (finally got a good sax)

Yanagisawa "Martin" Pro Level 880
Selmer C* Mouthpiece w/ stock lig
La Voz Medium Hard reed

I used to play

Yamaha YBS-52
Selmer C* Mouthpiece w/ stock lig
La Voz Medium reed

But since I got my Yanni, I haven't touched a Yamaha. I still play on the school's Conn for marching, so to not damage my Yanni.

Tenor:

I'm not playing tenor anymore, because I had to replace it with an alto (you can't play lead alto on a tenor!), but it was a Yamaha YTS-23. Tenney Custom Select rubber Link 7 with La Voz MH reeds, or an older blue, refaced Vandoren Jumbo Java T97 with Rico Royal 2.5 reeds, sanded down. Generic lacquered lig on both.

Alto:

Antigua 520LQ(?)--it's a rental, since I need to buy a new flute more than a new sax, but I'm hoping to get a better alto by summer. Runyon Custom 7 for lead playing, and I sometimes use Meyer 7M small chamber for quiter settings. Rousseau NC5 for classical. La Voz MH reeds on all three. Stock lig or Rovner Dark on Meyer, Rovner Dark on Runyon and Rousseau

Soprano:

Antigua 586LQ--great horn, especially when you consider the price. Runyon Custom 7 with Rico Royal 3 reeds and the stock lig (which sucks, so I'm looking for a better one--I'll probably end up using a Rovner) or Morgan 6J with Rico Royal 3 reeds and Rovner Light
