Comparing some of my favorite
Comparing some of my favorite Brilhart mouthpieces and a Woodwind Co. NY Steel Ebonite on a '24 Conn New Wonder tenor sax. Not a comparison like which one is best with the same reed.
I play them with different reed choices for each mouthpiece.
The reed strengths vary a lot! The Brilhart Hard Rubber has an original facing of around .90 and can take a Regal Queen 5 (!)on it. Why it works so well still puzzles me.
While I prefer a D'Addario Jazz Select 2H on the Brilhart Ebolin. With a heavier reed like a 3M or 3H the Ebolin sounds nice and more bold and is closer to the Hard Rubber sound. Yet I prefer the more lighter and snappier tone of the 2H for this mouthpiece.
The original 7* Streamline is one of my easiest playing and most versatile Brilharts I have ever played. I love the thick smooth tone.
The Woodwind Steel Ebonite is a close contender in tone and a very nice vintage Link like player and the huge chamber matches great with the big bore Conn New Wonder. Refaced by Dave Jary. It projects really well.
- (0:18) Brilhart Hard Rubber 4* (1940's original facing)- BG ligature - Regal Queen 5 reed
- (2:06) Brilhart Ebolin 3 (Carlsbad era) - Sound Palette ligature - DJS 2H reed.
- (3:56) Brilhart Streamline 7* (Carlsbad era) - Bonade inverted lig - Vandoren Java 2,5
- (5:41) Woodwind Co. NY Steel Ebonite (Dave Jary reface) - Bonade Inverted lig - Regal Queen 3 reed
The tune is the beautiful ballad But Beautiful.
The recording is made with a EV n/d 468 mic straight into the computer and mixed in Garageband. Only some reverb was added.
