This new model completes the Meyer line and should allow saxophone players to discover what they are looking for, both in sound and comfort, while performing. "Consistent and careful manufacturing is a 100-year tradition at jj Babbitt," said Giglio. "Other manufacturers have tried, without success, to copy our exceptional Meyer products. This is the real Meyer New York mouthpiece.
