ESM developed the "Classic" saxophone mouthpieces in collaboration with Joachim Rinke, who teaches at the Frankfurt Conservatory. The mouthpieces with larger tip openings are specially designed for big bands. The "Classic" mouthpieces are also excellent for Jazz musicians. The mouthpieces have real substance, are stable in regard to intonation and are particularly reed friendly and they also offer a very good alternative to metal.
ESM Saxophone Mouthpieces series were expanded to add mouthpieces with a metal ring on the tenon which consists of polished brass.
Various tests with well-known musicians showed following qualities:
1. higher effectiveness
2. better projection and sonority with an unchanged supply of energy
3. quick response and increased selectivity, that advance the virtuosic play
A positive side effect of the metal ring is the break resistance. Furthermore, the mouthpiece with the metal ring, “Classic” Alto, developed into an excellent tool, especially for the leader in the big band.
No. 6 with an opening of 1,80 mm can be recommended as an all-round model and is also suitable for modern styles of playing. It has a sure response, excellent intonation along with a balanced and full sound, says Claus Raumberger, journalist of music and author of "Das Saxophon" in Germany.
