Sepia Tone Jazz Metal is the standard metal Gottsu model. Masahiko Goto studied the brass composition of vintage mouthpieces, and selected the most similar brass composition to craft Gottsu mouthpieces from. Sepia Tone Jazz Metal, which has a dark sound with an edge, was the result of pursuing a good metal sound.  

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.
