Even though he's never met me and knows me only from this forum he nevertheless offered me his JodyJazz HR* 5M on long term loan. <img src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%2064%2064%22%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D%2250%25%22%20y%3D%2250%25%22%20text-anchor%3D%22middle%22%20dominant-baseline%3D%22central%22%20font-size%3D%2254%22%3E%F0%9F%98%B1%3C%2Ftext%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="22" height="22" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" />  Needless to say, I took his hand off at the shoulder! <img src="/x-custom-smilies/w00t.webp"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":w00t:" title="Woot    :w00t:" data-shortname=":w00t:" /> </p><p></p><p>He refused my offer to pay for the postage and when the parcel arrived yesterday it contained not only the mpc but also a Rovner dark lig and two mpc patches (one thick, one thin!). I think we now have a new definition of "outstanding generosity"!</p><p></p><p>Chris - Many, many thanks! I'm very much obliged to you and hope I can return the favour at some point.</p><p></p><p>So, what does it play like? Well, it's very free-blowing (like both of the Jody Jazz tenor pieces I've tried), the tone is quite breathy and warm but still capable of being a bit rowdy when you want it to. It is capable of being louder than my 4C, but doesn't insist on it. It's a very comfortable blow too, and encouraged me to experiment and play around.</p><p></p><p>While I was about it I also tried the Rovner lig vs my generic Yamaha 2-screw on the 4C (don't worry Chris, the metal lig is going nowhere near your JJ!). Verdict? Swapping back and forth I couldn't hear any difference. (However, as I'm a cloth-eared effort this proves nothing!). I did find that the Rovner was easier in use and didn't chop up the reed, so it would be my preferred option.</p><p></p><p>Yup, I had a <em>very</em> fun evening (and I'm looking forward to the weekend too)!  <img src="/x-custom-smilies/w00t.webp"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":w00t:" title="Woot    :w00t:" data-shortname=":w00t:" /></p><p></p><p></p><p>What a very nice place this is!</p></blockquote><p></p>
