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.

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.
