Very powerful, cutting, big, freeblowing sound from an unlikely mouthpiece.

I was in Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center in 2014 shopping for a new tenor sax metal mouthpiece. I spent about 4 hours there trying different ones out, and I was getting upset, ....because I really didn't like anything I had tried, even the ones that I thought I would like (Berg, Theo Wanne, Jody Jazz). I was starting to think, "Is it just me? Do I suck that bad?" The very last one I tried was the Eugene Rousseau Metal Jazz, size 8 facing, and then ...everything came together. I love this mouthpiece! It is so easy to play on, it is powerful and cutting, and allows me to play with great dynamic range with ease. I noticed that the cut and the bore of the mouthpiece looked "strangely" familiar. That is because ....it is the successor to the older (discontinued) silver Selmer Metal Jazz sax mouthpieces, .....one of which I owned and played on 40 years ago. It then seems that ....I am (and have always been) very familiar with this mouthpiece. The Rousseau mouthpiece just massively "improves" on the older Selmer design (gotta luv it)!

NOTE: It does come "stock" with a decent Rovner ligature and cap.
