Gary McCourry

“I have been performing on Rousseau mouthpieces for over 30 years on all saxophones. The intonation and control are unsurpassed. They have outstanding tone, response and flexibility. They also blend well with a saxophone section in classical and jazz settings. Jazz baritone saxophone has been my passion for many years. The E. Rousseau JDX Baritone 7 E. Rousseau JDX Baritone 8 sax mouthpieces provide me with a great balance of projection, dynamic range, intonation control, and the ability to easily blend with a section. Many of my students have also had great success with Rousseau Mouthpieces on the various saxophones.”
