JodyJazzHR* Hard Rubber Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece Model 6* (.095 Tip)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hard rubber tenor mouthpiece with a .095 tip and medium chamber. A moderate opening that suits players stepping up from a stock piece.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Tenor players moving off a factory mouthpiece for the first time
- Concert band or big band section work where blend matters
- Players who want tone control without fighting the reed
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Loud rock or R&B horn sections needing maximum volume
- Players already comfortable on wide .110+ tips
- Anyone wanting a bright metal edge
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Medium chamber
Balances core and projection. Neither the spread darkness of a large chamber nor the compressed edge of a small one.
Detail 03
German hard rubber
Denser, more consistent rod rubber than budget blanks. Warmer response than metal and less prone to warping.
Detail 04
Otto Link style
Follows the classic round-chamber jazz layout, so the feel under the teeth will be familiar to Link players.
Detail 05
Tenor saxophone fit
Sized for tenor only. Will not seat on alto, soprano or bari necks.
Final check
Know before you order

- 03Expect a week of adjustment if you are coming off a stock piece.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What reed strength should I use with a 6*?
Most tenor players land on a 3 or 3.5 with a .095 tip. Softer if you want an easier low end, harder if the tone spreads.
02Will my Otto Link ligature fit?
The blank follows Otto Link hard rubber dimensions, so most Link-style hard rubber ligatures seat correctly. Metal Link ligatures are a different diameter and will not.
03Is 6* too open for a beginner?
No. It is one of the more moderate openings in the line and is a common first step up from a stock mouthpiece.
04Does it work on alto sax?
No. This is a tenor mouthpiece. The bore and table are sized for a tenor neck cork.
