Mouthpiece Work / Yanagisawa mouthpiece chamber design
FROM: sjrosner (sjrosner)
SUBJECT: Yanagisawa mouthpiece chamber design
I have always read "All Yanagisawa metal mouthpieces feature square chambers...". I just scored a very vintage Yani soprano piece marked '7' and measuring .059...the chamber is a very traditional squeeze throat with a slight rollover. At the base of the squeeze it is round and opens abruptly into the shank ID, just like most other soprano mouthpieces. Is this different than modern ones? If not, what do they mean by square chambers?
