The new Mauriat Magnum crook is really fantastic it makes everything bigger and better tone wise.In the past i used to change mouthpieces to adapt to different playing situations now i feel that if you can play the same mouthpiece while switching necks you can really alter your sound and adapt to different environments without sacrificing the comfort of your embochure.

Thanks for the update. I'd love to try it but I am on a mission at the moment - one mp, one reed, one lig - though I just changed from the Rovner Dark that came with my JJ DV NY to a FL Ultimate. My sound is developing quite a bit at the moment so I will hang fire until things level off. Having a consistent point of reference is helping me to really listen to my sound and move forwards and I'm definitely getting nearer to the sound I want.

Quite excited about trying it out though as it appears to offer something very different. I'd be interested in you review when you post it.

Hi hd, Good to hear you are progressing with your mouthpiece setup🙂,i agree the crook imo is designed for players who are happy with their mouthpiece set up but may want a different crook like the Magnum which will deliver more punch for different musical settings without having to change mouthpiece.
I am eager to hear from Mornington,i will post asap.
Cheers birdman

Well i bit the bullet and now own the MAGNUM neck.Got a loud gig tomorrow so will be blowing then.It's a rather pretty thing.It's solid nickel silver but has been lacquered with a pinkish lacquer,the octave key and support are gold lac and is fully engraved.Very compact sound and feel to me and has even more power than the mauriat super jazz 6 neck.Attack is great and clear altissimo.Happy chappy.Thank's to Pete (birdman) of Studiosaxophones once again.Top guy and super service.

Gigged the MAGNUM crook last nite on my 66RUL and it was great.More instant and altissimo was more clear.Total power house on a all ready powerfull sax.Well happy with the neck and the range and response it brought to the table.A must have for many a player.

Maybe Birdman should just send HD one on consignment - sale or return, I bet that all that'd come back would be a credit card number...

There's no question that I don't need one and that I do want one. I'm just not going to get one. 🙂)) :thankyou:

Seriously, I'm working so hard at the moment trying to improve - well everything from intonation across the register to jazz articulation to technique to sight reading. The last thing I need is to be faffing about with a new crook I don't need.

I've been using Marca Jazz no 3 reeds quite happily but then a couple of lessons ago I forgot my reeds (doh ) and Karen let me have a Hemke no 3 and it was brilliant straight out of the box. So now I am wondering should I change reeds!!!

For the record, I can see me getting one maybe around Xmas and so I will probably try it out in a couple of months or so.
