JET-TONE Original Studio Model B, Trumpet Mouthpiece Review

Jon like your videos. I studied in NY with a teacher Roy Stevens. He had Ratzenberger make him three models , all based on the Studio B. They were RS1, RS2 and RS3. The only differences were the back bores, the 1 was tight the 2 was more open and the 3 was the most open. So, 1 was for lead, 2 was for commercial and the 3 was for a more legit work. This way a player would have no difficulty using all three because up front they had the same rim and cup. Also the outside appearance had a step design. Sometimes on eBay you might see one for sale.

Actually a solid voice, thank you

You really are a natural dry wit comedian, enjoy your channel very much...🎺

Hi Jon, Very informative Jet Tone mp revview. I have several Jet Tones for trumpet,cornet,flugelhorn and trombone which I bought several years ago while on sale at e bay for around $20.00 each, agood price compared to the $75.00 price tag I see them advertised now. I like them all, and a couple are deeper than the model you review here.

Nice review Jon! I did the Hindemith Sonata for Solo and Ensemble this year, and I freaked out because there was a fill-in judge I wasn't expecting to have, so I got a 2. Guess I won't be going to states. AGAIN. (I have a bit of history with him). Anyway, I'm working on technique, and after 2 more weeks, I'll be working on the Arutunian trumpet concerto. And after that, I'll be working on Fantaisie Brillante by Arban. And I hope you don't mind me asking, since you switched to trumpet (I saw a comment that you switched in Senior year of high school) what was your favorite part to play? I like all of the parts. 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, I'll play what I'm given. Frankly, I like playing 3rd the most out of all of them. I like playing high notes, but I don't have the chops that one of my section classmates, Joshua Hutton has. I can play a high C, a D above high C, and on a good day, a D#/Eb above high C. But I feel a great joy playing 3rd. Maybe because of what happened as a Sophomore may have something to do with it :) Take care Jon!

And wonderful mouthpiece

I have a small problem where my lips are sliding off of the edge of the mouthpiece, when my mouth is bit wet. Is a flat edge in this situation better then the rounded or isn't there a significant difference in this case?

I was wondering what you think the best trumpet is I play on a conn 2b new world symphony and love it but I may get a new one soon.

good one on the knitting Jon

I might get one and test it out...🙂🙃

It was actually Ray Amado who invented the Jet-Tone line in 1959, he was business partners w Ratzenberger and left the Co. in 1971. Ray was a HUGE Harry James fan and "borrowed" the concept of the old Parduba double cup design onto his own models but not as pronounced of course as the Jet-Tone line had cups that were more convex-ish. The throat sizes changed over the years as well...originally Ray used a HUGE #24 on all models, then went down to a more forgiving #26 then around 1968 he went to a #28 for ALL models. Amado was the guy who made all the custom pieces for guys like Doc Severinsen, Charlie Shavers, Bill Chase, Snooky Young, Lewis Valizon, Lloyd Michaels, Bernie Glow, Tony Scodwell and others.

Hey man! You're way too hard on yourself. You're a good trumpet player! Not a bad singer either.

Hi Jonhatan, i have a jet tone custom model M F 3. I was playing with that at school and with canadian air cadets. I remember the first time i played with it, in 1987! I sold my trumpet in 2018, but i always have the mouthpiece. I would like to know how it is worth ? I think its very similar the studio model B, am i wrong ? Can you tell me what is the difference ?

Hello what would be the closest jet tone similar to my 13a4a schilke mouthpiece

Hahaha :) keep playing those horns buddy. Nice to see the different horns you demo. And keep serving the Lord. I am a trumpet loving pastor too. Ok I've got to go find some knitting needles

Do you still have this mouthpiece?

Maynard Ferguson played on it?

Hey men please help me.... can you tell what the price of this jet tone mouthpiece is ?

Plz one post

I don’t like large rims though🙁
