Refined to perfection. The Rousseau 2.0 Classic R baritone sax mouthpiece is one of the most influential mouthpieces around. Based on the original R series design from 1971, the Rousseau 2.0 Classic R saxophone mouthpiece is a must-have for classical players.
The R series mouthpiece has been one of the go-to mouthpieces for the last 50 years. Teachers and professors are constantly recommending this model due to it being so good. After all, if it's good enough for saxophone legend Eugene Rousseau, then it's guaranteed to be good.
Each and every Rousseau mouthpiece is 100 made in America. Once completed, the baffles and tip rails are expertly hand-finished by saxophone specialists at the JodyJazz factory. Each mouthpiece is then play tested to ensure perfection.

It's one of the most popular mouthpieces for a reason! Thanks to Rousseau's vast knowledge of mouthpiece design, he was able to produce a mouthpiece tailor-made for classical playing. Based on the original R series design from 1971, the Classic R mouthpiece has been refined to perfection. No matter if you're an entry-level player, university professor, aspiring student, or touring professional, the Rousseau 2.0 Classic R baritone mouthpiece will always provide smooth dark tone.
The Rousseau design all started when Dr Rousseau couldn't find a good enough commercial mouthpiece to recommend to his students - so he made his own! Rousseau actually learned about woodwind design and acoustics from one of the finest acousticians since Adolph Sax - Charles Houvenaghel. Heavily inspired by the mouthpiece that Marcel Mule gave him in 1961, Rousseau launched the R series of mouthpieces - Rousseau's best selling range.
Chicago born and bred, Eugene Rousseau is known as one of the finest saxophone players around. So good in fact, Rousseau was a chief consultant for Yamaha's saxophone research team, continuously contributing to the development of their instruments and mouthpieces. Rousseau has had the pleasure of completing many musical firsts, such as the first-ever solo saxophone recitals in Paris, Berlin, Vienna, London, and Amsterdam. Even saxophone legend Marcel Mule described Rousseau as "a brilliant saxophonist and distinguished artist".
In 2019 Rousseau contacted Jody Espina at JodyJazz Mouthpieces asking if he would be interested in acquiring Rousseau Mouthpieces. Without hesitation, Jody jumped at the opportunity, and at the start of 2020 the acquisition was made official. This means every Rousseau mouthpiece goes through JodyJazz's rigorous quality control, hand-finished process, and playtest. So now you can enjoy the ingenious designs from Rousseau, and know each and every mouthpiece has been manufactured to the highest possible quality.
