"Rafael Navarro ARTISTA 7* Metal Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece BRAND NEW"
Ships with all original packaging from Rafael Navarro - ligature not included.
The Rafael Navarro Artista is a high-performance metal tenor saxophone mouthpiece designed specifically for players who need a balance of power and focus. While Navarro is well-known for his jazz-oriented "Maestra" and "Bahia" models, the Artista is built to lean more toward R&B, Rock, and Fusion.
Key Features and Design
- The Concept: It was designed to bridge the gap between the dark, lush Maestra and the bright, powerful Bahia. It offers "power without shrillness."
- The Chamber: Features a unique large chamber design. This provides depth and prevents the sound from becoming too thin or "ice-pick" bright, even at high volumes.
- The Throat: It has a round throat that transitions into the bore, which helps focus the airflow and provides a more centered, punchy sound profile.
- The Body: The body shape is slightly different from his other "thin body" metal pieces, making it compatible with more standard-sized tenor ligatures.
