The Jazz Solist is a uniquely Gottsu jazz mouthpiece that possesses a calm and elegant resonance akin to a classical instrument at its core. Featuring a "round" chamber for the soprano model and a "horseshoe" chamber for the alto, tenor, and baritone models, it produces a nostalgic, soft, and warm tone.
"Sweet and Fat Tone" and "Stability" Highly Praised by Players
We have received high praise from actual players, with comments such as, "The sweet, fat, and breathy sound is wonderful," and "It is exceptionally well-balanced from the low to the high register, making articulation incredibly easy from pianissimo to fortissimo." We highly recommend this mouthpiece to anyone seeking a mellow and relaxed jazz sound that offers a distinct flavor from standard Meyer-style mouthpieces.
Taking It to the Next Level Through Comprehensive Refinements
This model has been completely reborn through a meticulous review of every detail. Its greatest feature is the "hammered copper ring" fitted on the shank. This ring ensures that none of the vibrations received by the mouthpiece are lost, dramatically enhancing the sense of unity with the instrument and achieving an unprecedentedly smooth playing experience.
Singing with Rich Emotion
Through this renewal, while retaining its signature warm tone, we have brought out a stronger core and richer resonance capable of handling even more powerful performances. It translates every subtle nuance of your breath directly into sound, enabling completely free expression on stage. We invite you to experience the new Jazz Solist, a mouthpiece that will elevate your performance to new heights.
The "Solist" was born from the passionate requests of the Japanese music scene and our endless pursuit of perfection. We designed it to revive the beautiful resonance of vintage mouthpieces in the modern age, while ensuring it is versatile enough to excel across a wide range of musical genres.
To commemorate our factory relocation in 2024, the newly adopted hammered copper shank enhances the sense of unity with the instrument, further deepening the joy of playing. It offers a thoroughly pursued sound characterized by rich overtones and a solid core.
Breathe new life into your playing, and deliver the ultimate performance that will captivate your audience.
“Just Tried first time at the NAMM show and fell in Love with that Piece! You automatically hear Joe Henderson in your ears when you play it. Soloist chamber, but I can blow more air inside as in the original and get more volume, which was always missing in those mouthpieces. It was the absolute star at the NAMM show; every great player wanted this piece, also, because it’s different from the others on the market.”
