I absolutely enjoy your sound. very great! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm mainly a tenor player but I enjoy your alto, soprano and baritone sound as well.

[@dillonmartin8130]

I agree that we would like an alto metal mouthpiece battle pleaseeee!!! But I just wanna day thank you for being such a dependable KZbin channel for saxophonists and I look forward to watching each and every one of your new videos!

[@Spacey_E90]

Ayyyy he actually listened to my comment awesome I love it, but I asked for the battle before I bought the mouthpiece, I own one now though and I love it. I love it when creators read the comments. Keep making the great vids!

[@Humbardi]

Nice comparison video, Jay.

[@richardjones990]

I selected the "B" in the blind taste test. It had a fuller rounder sound to me.

[@HonestSaxSound-unEdited-]

Great sound both.

[@HonestSaxSound-unEdited-]

So good sound by both! I have played many years with an Otto Link tone edge7- rubber, on my old Cleveland tenor, and it was a good soun with Vandoren java.

[@Kookosnakki]

Hey Jay! I appreciate all the great content you make. In these videos that contain sound examples it would be great if you could not use reverb. It smoothens the sax sound and tone and makes critical listening impossible. Let's enjoy the beautiful raw tone. Again love your videos, keep up the great work! Cheers

[@kevinloon6585]

B for Broad!

[@dannyrusso8279]

Glad I watched this video. I was about to order the Florida to possibly replace my STM, but I really didn't want a mpc less bright that the STM. The STM definitely has a brighter sound in the comparisons, without sacrificing fullness.

Just recently got my hands on an 8* of the FL after searching for a few months. I’ve been playing on a Retro Revival Tru Slant for a while and it’s a great mouthpiece, it’s just a bit dark for my horn. I’m loving the FL so far as it does a great job of getting that sound Otto link is known for while also having a lot more color (I.e. darker lows and able to brighten up top). Only issue I have and heard a lot of issues is the tightness on the cork.

[@silaskaye]

B sounds way more projecting and direct, my favorite!🔥

[@patrickdacquel656]

Finally the review I was looking for!

[@ariskardas]

I really liked the A. sound.

[@jippeticheler]

I bought myself the stm 6 (alto) and my bite plate is also not strait. It sounds more like B. I do love it!! Thanks for teaching me more about this mouthpiece after I purchased it!

[@diegomatharangubitosi3670]

B, it’s sound a little more bright and clear than A. Here it’s notice the difference. Love your videos! You videos have quality, knowledge and a lot of passion! Greetings from Argentina!

[@ippolitolamedica5562]

I tried both (8*).Great sound! STM has more deepness in the low notes (accoding to me). I was to buy it, when the seller looked in my sax case and saw my own mouthpiece an old Florida 7. He asked me to trie it to make a test: it sounded with doouble volume than the new ones, and the sound was more focused. He refused to sell me the ne saying: "You have a Ferrari and want to by a Mercedes?" I liked the idea to play with a more open mouthpiece and the gold was so bright! They look so good! Your compare is very good., but your sound is SO good that everything you play sound well! Thank you. Good job!

[@ntxmt]

HI Jay. Thanks for another excellent video. Well, I liked A the best. The sounds it produced with you and your sax riding along connected. Totally subjective, but, that's how it gets around here!

[@MikeSmithSaxophone]

B gets my vote.... seems to be more centered. A sounds very close. In my experience there are times a mouthpiece records well but in a live situation it feels inadequate . Great test.

[@MARKLINMAN1]

A&B sounded the same when NOT playing the octave, on the octave the B was Brighter. Great video.
