Brancher - L27TH Bec Ébonite Saxo Ténor

The timbre unfolds with immediate fullness, creating a hushed atmosphere where every note seems to float; this L27TH mouthpiece from Brancher France gives the tenor a remarkable foundation, enabling him to move from a woody murmur to lyrical flights of fancy with fluidity. The sound is rich and dynamic, capable of following the contours of a languorous Bossa or sustaining the complex cadence of a Be-Bop set. It's the perfect balance for anyone seeking to sculpt their air column like a supple, malleable material.

The design is based on high-quality ebonite, chosen for its acoustic stability and ability to vibrate in harmony with the instrument. Thanks to computer-assisted precision machining, the top delivers an instant response, making playing more intuitive and less physical. The meticulous satin finish makes for a comfortable feel in the mouth that is quickly forgotten, giving way to the pure sensation of the music. Robust and designed to be maintenance-free, this mouthpiece survives rehearsals and concerts without altering its mechanical properties.

The internal architecture favours a large, comfortable L chamber, sized to make full use of the 2.70 mm opening. This configuration generates a generous volume of air, which is very important for achieving the round texture of Smooth Jazz. For perfect energy transmission, the semi-rigid metal plate ligature stabilises the reed while preserving its natural oscillation, protected by a discreet plastic cap.
