Overview

Since their introductions in spring of 2016, the 1sb and its less shallow brother, the 1ss, have become our #1 sellers. Both were specifically designed by Jerry to help players struggling with chop problems. Both are small and unforgiving so they work like a bold ‘stop signal’ to close down as soon as your proper embouchure starts to lose its grip. By keeping you centered, these mouthpieces immediately increase power, pitch, range, and endurance. Plus, chop problems are immediately identified and avoided!

Specifications

• Silver plated

• Diameter: similar to a Bach 20 (.582”, 19/32nds”, 15mm) 

• Cup shape: copy of extremely efficient Harry James double cup design

• Cup size on 1sb*: shallow initial cup with extra shallow second cup for maximum range, power, and endurance

• Rim: adapted from the great Charlie Shavers’ personal rim - wider and more rounded than New York Bach. Extremely comfortable in all ranges

• Throat: 29 for superior response and efficiency with less air for added endurance, increased security, and proper focus in the upper range

• Backbore: narrower but longer than a standard New York Bach for greatly improved intonation from low F# to double C and beyond

• Outer shape: triple contour for quickest response, dependable attack, and increased projection

*Superchops 1sb has same diameter cup as the 1ss model but is 2 steps shallower. The result is added brilliance and even easier high register. Many professionals are adapting both models depending on the musical character.
