JB TENOR 101 CNC 18 KT HEAVY GOLD PLATED TENOR MPC (by G. Sugal)

  The Sugal JB 101 18KT HGE (HEAVY GOLD PLATED) TENOR SAX MOUTHPIECE

Providing outstanding benefits for a contemporary jazz musician, the Sugal JB 101 18KT HGE is the ideal choice for players seeking a powerful cutting, huge presence, jazz styled mouthpiece.

 It is designed for the saxophonist who seeks a mouthpiece that is comfortable, somewhat narrower, and feels streamlined in the mouth.

Designed by master artisan and mouthpiece model maker Gary Sugal, in 1988 has  a long and  powerful legacy for performance.   The Sugal JB 101 18KT HGE features a duck bill plate that is very comfortable in the mouth

 Sugal’s precision machined parallel Mini Tracks™   focuses the air flow, economically into the chamber, allowing the metal to breathe or expand for maximum resonation.

This model also includes a snow-hill roll-over baffle, a compound radius  

Unlike competitive models, there is no back pressure required to play the mouthpiece as it is totally free–blowing. Articulation is spontaneous and continuous to respond without any lag.

Every note from low Bb right into the upper register of the horn is achieved effortlessly. The player will easily “pop” altissimo notes with little or no effort.

The Sugal JB 101 18KT HGE has been designed to last literally for decades. 

Note: 14kt, 18kt and 24kt are only color or shades of gold and should not be confused as to an actual gold content amount. Industry gold plating is measured in the amount of mills that are adhered via the plating process on to the mouthpiece.

The standard for gold plated mouthpieces in the industry is a minimum of 25 mills. While most other makers do not come close to reaching even the standard, all our gold plated HGE mouthpieces have always exceeded the standard for long life and durability.

The mouthpiece is meticulously hand finished and play tested for superior quality by Gary Sugal, prior to leaving the factory. Let us know the preferred size 7-9 .. within 1/2 sizes.
