@kehaulani said in AR Resonance Mouthpieces:
Ref, Jet Tones, there re the originals, then the Ratzenberger "originals", then the more modern ones.
Going backwards, the modern ones, as stated, are not like the originals. The Ratzenbergers, which are sought after, are actually not true "originals". Ratzenberger was a night club guy who was part owner in Jet Tone. The other guy was the true designer and after he broke up with Ratzenberger, Ratzenberger did a half-assed job with subsequent Jet Tones.
Legend Mouthpieces offer "original;" original Jet Tone replicas (unless you, like the good Dr. get one custom made).
p.s. George, do you use yours for combo playing or just for lead?
Kehaulani, I have never used AR mouthieces. I currently use an ACB TA1 for most of my playing but switch to a shallow cup Denis Wick 5X when playing a lot of higfher range band material. The 5X is way too small (16.00 ) for any kind of jazz or ballad solos, but I love how easy the 5X is on my chops and would love to use it for everything so I have a larger 16.50 Denis Wick 4X on order. We will see how that works.
George
