the design of the D’Addario Select Jazz tenor mouthpiece was inspired by Jeff Coffin’s Freddie Gregory mouthpiece, which was an original Freddie Gregory Super Deluxe blank, and not an Otto Link. Jeff Coffin’s Freddie Gregory mouthpiece was not in its original state, having been refaced by Freddie himself at Jeff’s request at some point. These modifications to the original Super Deluxe resulted in a very unique model that D’Addario used as a baseline and made various design changes based on Jeff’s feedback as well as extensive market research. The chamber size and baffle shape remain somewhat similar to Jeff’s mouthpiece, but the facing, window, side rail and tip rail shapes all were modified. The original mouthpiece also had a slightly different tip opening of 2.73mm, which Kevin mentioned they had to make facing and baffle changes to match the tip openings that the market was currently asking for. Jeff’s original facing also had some flat spots that were eliminated. The D’Addario Select Jazz blank is slightly larger overall, with changes to the beak, side profiles, and the bore was modified and slightly tapered to adapt to the CNC machining used to make this mouthpiece. These changes resulted in greater machining consistency without sacrificing performance.
