Description
In partnership with Jay Metcalf of Better Sax fame, we are proud to be stocking the new BURNIN' alto sax mouthpiece.
The BURNIN' alto saxophone mouthpiece is the result of a collaboration between JodyJazz Mouthpieces and BetterSax, led by Jay, a prominent online influencer and educator. Jay's sound concept, showcased in numerous YouTube videos, reflects his vision for the perfect alto sax mouthpiece. This partnership was born out of mutual respect, with Jay expressing satisfaction at how the final design aligns with his expectations. The BURNIN' is a versatile and soulful piece that strikes a balance between traditional jazz tones and a contemporary vibe. Its roll-over baffle design provides power, projection, and brightness when desired. The large chamber complements the baffle, offering lush warmth and sonic depth, resulting in a complex and beautiful tone. The straight side walls contribute to a free-blowing and focused sound with a strong core.
Manufactured in the USA, specifically in Savannah, Georgia, by Jody Jazz, the BURNIN' undergoes expert hand-finishing combined with state-of-the-art CNC machining, ensuring the highest quality and consistency. Crafted from premium hard rubber, it embodies the look, feel, and sound of vintage mouthpieces. The medium facing curve makes it reed-friendly and easy to play, with meticulously designed tip openings (5, 6, 7).
Highlighted by a matte finish exterior and a finely sculpted, hand-painted logo, the BURNIN' mouthpiece is not just a musical tool but also a visually appealing piece. Overall, it stands as a testament to precision, attention to detail, and a collaborative effort to create a top-tier alto saxophone mouthpiece.

Staff review
An exquisite piece from the Bettersax/Jody partnership! I immediately felt a strong connection to the Burnin’ alto when I blew on this new mouthpiece. It follows the same kind of rationale that the tenor model delivered on; strong core sound, depth and quality of tone and the ability to expand out and really rip when required! I really felt all this coming into play after just the briefest blow on the mouthpiece, but the more I got into it the more I enjoyed its flexibility and adaptability, allowing you to either blend your sound or project with fullness and power. Great job Jody and Jay! Jim Cheek
