The Sepia Tone Jazz Metal is Gottsu’s standard metal model. Unlike the Master and Double Ring, the Jazz Metal is a completely original Gottsu design crafted from vintage brass and plated with silver.  The Jazz Metal features a moderately bright, fat and outlined (or edged) tone with good projection. Starting in 2026, the Jazz Metal will feature rails that will accomodate the Gottsu sliding ligature (sold separately).  In addition, the sizings will be changed to the inch system in order to be more straightforward and understandable.

“After making the Sepia Tone VI, an ebonite mouthpiece, I wanted to make a metal model. Because I play Tenor Saxophone, I own vintage metal mouthpieces, so I wanted to make a better mouthpiece than the vintage ones. That was how I started to make Jazz Metal.”
