Mouthpiece Skip Used On Alto
The NY USA Meyer Hard Rubber 6M measures about .077 and
is original from the 60s. I don’t believe it has been worked on.
Mouthpiece Skip Used On Tenor
The Early Babbitt Super Tone Master Otto Link USA is a 7*
that measures about .103. This was opened up to an 8 by Theo
Wanne and then brought back to about a 7* by Steve Cutcher of
Philadelphia.
The mouthpieces I typically choose to play in live situations
have always been pieces with larger baffles or have been modified Meyers and Links with baffles added. It is a pleasure to
play mouthpieces like those above (without large baffles) when
playing a more traditional style such as bebop.
Skip Spratt’s Reeds
I’ve used the same “go to” reed I’ve used since 1987 - Vandoren
Java 3 on both mouthpieces. Back then I bought a Guardala
Studio Alto and a Guardala MB 1 direct from Dave Guardala I
asked him what reeds he suggested for those pieces and he said,
“Java 3.” I’ve used them ever since. Tried just about everything
else along the way and have changed mouthpieces but have
stuck with Java 3 (original green box).
