Gottsu Soloist E Soprano Saxophone Mouthpiece - Excellent Condition - ¥41,000 SOPRANO SAX Gottsu Jazz Soloist Rakuten Retail Price (Tax Included | Current Model) ¥41,800 Made by Gottsu, Soprano Saxophone Mouthpiece - Jazz Solist This is a model from before 2024, when a copper ring was added to the shank. The tonal characteristics are likely in the same direction as the current model. It has a soft, warm tone and can handle a wide range of dynamics. It's a jazz mouthpiece characterized by a calm resonance. [Mouthpiece Condition] I usually use a Selmer C☆, but I was able to play without any discomfort. The mouthpiece opening didn't feel too wide, and it was easy to play. The facing (the point where the mouthpiece and reed begin to separate) is slightly long. It should be easy for those who want to play with a similar feel to an alto saxophone. It's a low-baffle mouthpiece, similar to those used in classical music, but the moderate roughness (matte finish) adds to the tone. I think it's a mouthpiece with a calm tone, specialized for jazz and popular music. I didn't see any scratches that would interfere with playing. There is almost no wear on the tip rail. I believe there are no problems with the sound or performance. (I think I tested it for about 1-2 weeks) [Points to Note] There is no outer box. I didn't see any noticeable scratches on the outside of the mouthpiece, the table, the tip rail, etc. I think it's in excellent condition. There is a shadow like a teeth mark on the part where the teeth touch. However, it is not dented. Because of the frosted glass-like surface finish, it gives the impression that the teeth touched it slightly. Please understand that this is a used item, so there may be oversights or minor details. Thank you for your consideration. ・ [Included Items] Mouthpiece Body Pouch
