Agreed. The composite materials of yesterday are differentiated by variable degree of centered concentricity to todays materials. Especially in the upper and mid sub tones, while the lower sub tones offer a more subliminal effect. Only the more astute trained ear can really grasp the subtle harmonics. The literature calls out there may be more of an abstract perception depending on where one was trained intra country to inter country on a socio - cultural basis Yet to the Proletariat , they all sound similar if not the same. Within undefined sub genre, anecdotally, it is the rhythm that makes all the difference in the world, sans yet with the inclusion arbitrary and wrong notes .

In my 74 years I have seen a few C melody saxes nailed to a wall in clubs, but never heard one. I think Fitzgerald's had one on their wall. Mike, you sound fantastic as usual. I think you could play a G flat bass kazoo and make great music on that too. My life is complete now, I finally heard a C melody sax, and heard it played so very well.

Hey Mike, I met you at Andy's a few years ago when my Amtrak to Detroit was late and they put us up in a nearby hotel for the night! I see that you were involved in the creation of this project... J.J. Babbitt calls this one the "Connoisseur," and describe it as being a copy of Cannonball's Meyer piece, with the gold band like his, which fixed a crack in the shank. If you know, are there any other differences between this gold band model and the one without the band, in terms of facing, chamber, playing characteristics (brightness, fatness, etc.)? I'm pairing this with my 66xxx Mark VI alto, which is somewhat on the darker side of things... So, if one is brighter, that might be the better pairing choice for me. I have a stock, early 1990s Meyer 7M, and it's a tad dark for me on this horn. Thanks ...

I bought this mouthpiece Meyer Bros NY Connoisseur number 5. It sounds cool with La Voz canes. I hope someday there will be a revival of Brilhart. Why doesn't anyone produce these mouthpieces? Meyer is a cool, dark sound, and Brilhart is the other side, it's a joyful sound. I hope Brilhart will be on sale one day.

The problem is not replicating the physical design of the NY Meyer mouthpieces, but rather it is the material and the way that original material contributes to the sound that is the issue. Just like Stradivarius violins, the material is paramount. For NY Meyers, the process of heating and cooling was a kept secret as well as the formula itself, which is forever gone. Any time facing work is done, you can distinguish the old Meyers just by the material residue it leaves with light sanding. There are a number of great NY Meyer knock-offs out there, while physically identical, they only get you to 80% that of an original, which is why the originals remain so coveted. The secret sauce is absolutely the material.
