A video on the difference between java and jumbo java would be great if possiblemfor the future!

[@bobblues1158]

Love the vibe on these reviews. And I have used all of these pieces on tenor when the gig called for it.

[@dawkesmusic]

Thanks for your kind words and for watching :)

[@bluerhythmboy]

Great reviews thanks. I use the Vandoren JJ on tenor but have been intrigued by the alternatives recently...the lakey is prime candidate

[@dawkesmusic]

Good choice!

[@sergiopepino6919]

the superior Lakey of the two! Lakey underrated mouthpiece

[@BobKingChat]

I look forward to your videos 👋

[@dawkesmusic]

Glad you like them!

Rico Metalites are crazy, plastic high-baffle mouthpieces that sound like a professional MPC for a cheap price? You gotta be kidding me, God bless you Rico.

🎉❤I bought a jumbo java mama and an A45 and an A75 but they were incredibly soft and sharp, the rico is better, I've been playing it for 10 years

[@heliobataglia3504]

Muito bom🎉

[@francistaylor5097]

Didn't you release this video a few months ago?

[@dawkesmusic]

Not this one, we did another about these types of mouthpieces but metal, and we also did one specifically about the Blue Jumbo Java - but not all three together. Thanks for watching :)

[@AlexHerrera-q6k]

They’re trying to sell the jumbo😅

[@cjfl1962]

Vandoren blows the other two out of the water.

[@simonbsax]

Yes it does. I bought one!

Can't seem to hear the difference between the Metalite and Jumbo Java, both have crazy high baffles. The only thing that differentiates them is the material (plastic and ebonite) and the price.
