What Is Your Favorite Meyer-Based Mouthpiece?

[SaxyJ]

What is your favorite Meyer-based mouthpiece? In other words, what mouthpiece do you heavily favor that clearly utilizes a similar design to the vintage Meyer Bros models? Please list your piece, explain in a short, but detailed anecdote of why it is your favorite and, if possible, how it compares to the original Meyer Bros pieces.

Thank you everyone and I look forward to hearing all your responses! :)

If this thread itself doesn't get huge, here's a similar topic that I made a little while back that might give you some information.

Personally, I've played on a couple (including the JJHR*) but have currently settled on a standard Meyer 7M (not the rich folk kind either :P) If I try something else anytime soon, it'll probably be a Phil-Tone piece, but as of now I'm okay with how this is playing for me.

What can I do to make you less satisfied with your Meyer :twisted:


....just kidding. If it works play the facing off the thing!

Do not worry Phil...the Custom Meyer you created months ago is still the piece the beat. ;) I'd just like to see what other unknown choices "lurk" in the shadows. :twisted:

I've said it before and I'll say it again...check the signature.

I read that the chamber of a NY Meyer was slightly larger than a modern small chambered Meyer,
but certainly not as large as a modern medium chambered one.

So, EZ worked a modern small chambered Meyer that way for me.
Plus, I asked for plenty of cut.

I really like it.

I have not played a NY Meyer.

Im loving the JJ HR 6M on alto. A great balance of warmth and brightness.

The new Ponzol HR Vintage.
What can I say. It gives me that 50s, 60s HR Meyer/Link vibe. Plays well, feels good. Don't need nothin' else for MOR jazz.
