JodyJazzHR* Hard Rubber Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece Model 9* (.125 Tip)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hard rubber tenor mouthpiece with a wide .125 tip and medium chamber. Built for players who want volume and flexibility, not section blend.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock, funk and R&B horn players pushing over a rhythm section
- Soloists who bend pitch and want a wide dynamic range
- Experienced players with a developed embouchure
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners still building air support and embouchure strength
- Classical or concert band players needing a centered, blending tone
- Anyone who tires quickly on long gigs
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
Keeps a core to the sound even at this opening, so the wide tip does not turn purely spread and airy.
Detail 03
German hard rubber
Warmer and rounder than metal at the same tip. Takes the edge off an opening this wide.
Detail 04
Otto Link style
Classic jazz body shape, so the mouth feel stays familiar even though the tip is far more open than a stock Link.
Detail 05
Tenor saxophone fit
Tenor only. The table and shank will not seat on other saxophones.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Wide tips run softer reeds. Plan on roughly 2 to 2.5 strength, not your usual 3.
- 02Ligature and cap sold separately.
- 03Try before committing if you have never played past a .110 tip.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What reed strength for a 9* tip?
Go softer than you expect. Most players use a 2 to 2.5 on a .125 tip. A 3 or harder will feel stiff and choke the low register.
02Is this too much mouthpiece for me?
If you currently play a stock piece or anything under .100, yes, likely. A .125 tip needs steady air and a settled embouchure to play in tune.
03How is this different from the 6*?
Same material, chamber and body. The tip is .125 instead of .095, so it takes more air, plays louder and bends pitch more easily.
04Will it be too bright?
Hard rubber and a medium chamber keep it warmer than a metal piece at the same opening. It gets loud, but the core stays round.
