Help with Identifying a Jet-Tone mpc...

oldlips48 · 03-09-2007, 06:38 PM

I came across an old Jet-tone mpc in a music store recently and I can't find an exact match on Jet-Tone's website.

The mpc is marked "JET-TONE Studio model A". The closest reference I found is for the Studio-7S which was original model no. 1A. There is a reference to an original model no. Studio A mpc in the trombone section, but this would be the smallest trombone mpc I ever saw!

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

There's an old Jet-Tone brochure at:

Jet Tone - Old Sizes Chart

The Studio was a specific model in the old Jet-Tone line, with a specific width and depth. The Studio A had the flat A rim.

I have one of these - if that wasn't their shallowest (which, according to the chart, it wasn't) - how the heck did anyone play anything smaller???
Fancy a laugh - I used to use the Studio A as my general mouthpiece (when I was about 16) - even for classical playing

- I had a useless teacher who didn't point out that this might not be such a good move.

Um...ah...Mike, I played one for a little while and then switched to a smaller BC (Bill Chase) Jet Tone which I used 20+ years.

My GR's are basically the same thing.

Oh well......

I used a 5A in high school on the Haydn 1st mvmt. The high Eb was nooo problem, like, what's the fuss?

Thanks Mike and John for the assist. John, the link to the old Jet-Tone chart was GREAT!

I admit to liking the feel of the flatter rims. And if you're like me and have, like, no lips, the shallow cup seems to work OK. I admit to the sound being bright, almost "tinny".

The search continues.

Thanks again, guys.

Steve
