Jamms FAQ's
What makes
Jamms Mouthpieces different?
“Jamms
mouthpieces are unique because they use a precision-made clamp to
hold reeds in place, eliminating the need for ligatures.”
Why does
eliminating the need for ligatures make a difference to students and
musicians?
“By holding reeds
in place without ligatures, Jamms avoids the all-too-familiar
problems of ligatures being lost or bent, as well as the problem of
reeds becoming chipped or slipping out of position. As a result
Jamms helps students spend more time concentrating on learning
music, and less time worrying about ligatures.”
Can you
elaborate on how Jamms Mouthpieces make the learning process easier?
“Anyone who’s
been around music education for any length of time knows how much
students struggle with ligatures and reed positioning. Thanks to
their unique design, Jamms makes it simple for even the novice
student to position a reed. Once the clamp on our mouthpiece is
tightened, the reed is held firmly in place, so there’s no need for
players to make continuous adjustments. By making this process
easier, Jamms encourages the progress of students in music, which
increases the chance of them sticking with music.”
How is the
performance of Jamms mouthpieces affected by the fact that they don’t
require ligatures?
“Not having a
restrictive ligature band around the mouthpiece creates more
vibration, which results in increased volume, a
brighter tone and enhanced notes.”
What else,
beside its “no ligature” design distinguishes Jamms mouthpieces?
“Jamms
mouthpieces are made in the US, using computer aided design. Careful
attention has been paid to every detail of our mouthpieces from the
thickness of the rails, to the tip opening, to the width and length
of the window, to the bore size, to the contour of the chamber, to
the shape of the beak and thickness of the walls. The result is a
mouthpiece that works with any reed to contribute to the quality of
an instrument’s performance.”
How many models
of Jamms mouthpieces are available?
“At this point,
there are three models available: Clarinet, Alto Sax and Tenor Sax.”
