The sound, personality and unmistakable performance characteristics of this incredible mouthpiece have been carefully studied with numerous attempts by competitors to copy it for decades. So now, let the artisans of jj Babbitt show you how it’s done.
This EB model is not redesigned, not retooled, and not reimagined in any way.
