but others say it's good to have small to medium chambered pieces with high baffles, to help balance out the sound with more high harmonics. this is where I'm coming at it from, also because I can brighten up my sound on my own with my embouchure and airstream if I want. usually, people say for this kind of sax, you want a large-chamber, low-baffle mouthpiece to help enhance the core characteristic of the sound, the Dexter Gordon thing. they are more patterned after old conns, kings, etc. The thing to realize about the Keilwerths is that they have a larger bore and bell than selmers, yamahas, etc.

It's a little more cash than the Morgan, I think it costs $275 on, but this might be exactly what you're looking for.a full sound but one that works well in that rock/fusion/amplified setting. he has a model called the M2 Plus, which is supposed to match up especially well with Keilwerths to help "center the sound" as he puts it. Peter Ponzol used to have a business partnership with keilwerth, and the predecessor to the SX90R was called the "Peter Ponzol Model", go figure. Checkbest place to go for Morgans.NOW, another thing to throw out there.I've heard good things about Ponzol mouthpieces and how they match up with keilwerth saxophones. The large are the ones they advertise for more traditional jazz and the mediums are advertised for the more contemporary edge, so you might want to try the medium first. Now, I don't know what you mean by "2" chamber.he's got two chambers.Medium and Large. the Jazz 8L I play usually gives me a darker 60's-Blue Note kind of vibe, but on the occasions where I've played it with bands that have amplified instruments and louder drums, it still gave me the "edge" I needed. but they work, and they are flexible, meaning you can play dark and mellow or bright on them, and anything in between, depending on the reed you use and how you shape your airstream. they can be loud and full but not necessarily THE MOST powerful mouthpieces out there. The Morgans are made from very high-quality rubber (different from many modern "rubber" mouthpieces which have a lot of plastic in them which "nasals" the sound, IMO). I think the Excalibur is a little extreme for my taste, but who knows.

I've been looking at the Morgan Jazz in about a 2 chamber with maybe an 8 facing.

The Ralph Morgans, what are they constructed from? The professional ones geared towards jazz that is.like the Morgan JAzz and the Excalibur. I've always thought rubber can never project like metal, always thought it was a quasi-jazz mouthpiece if its rubber, but I'm probably wrong on that one. I've always thought I could never get the sound I want from rubber. What tenor players sound do I like? Hmmmm.Bob Mitzner, Pharoah Sanders, Michael Brecker, Trane are on my short list. That contradicts me not wanting to sound so bright and nasty, but it's just not the way I play. As far as styles go I mostly play in rock/fusion/funk bar band type of things. Also, I'm devoting a LOT of time to my EWI work. I just can't ever get enough time to practice as I want being a full-time day job guy. I've heard the same advice from others and I am leaning that direction.the Morgans that is.I've played for about 13 years but I'm not all that.
